I know it's sexy right now to hate on the goon in hockey but McGrattan is not only a hell of team player, he's also a hell of a human being who has overcome some big demons in his life and IMO is a great role model for his younger teammates.

And for the record, I hope he is re-signed even if it's only for a year, you can't teach character.
I'm fine with McGratton on the team... he just didn't need to dress every game.
