Not sure anyone cares but O'Brien has been a great addition to the Heat. Good mentor, awesome attitude, and moves the puck very well.

I feel bad for the guy that he didn't get claimed on waivers, and I know his NHL game was struggling, but the Heat are 4-0 since he laced 'em up and he's been on the ice for a lot of those games.

If Burke can't find a way to move him before the deadline (he might not with his play/cap hit) he will add exactly the kind of vet leadership that the Heat will need for a big playoff push.
