One can argue that merits of having a veteran mentoring the young dman on their roster, however, I am not sure why anyone thing Engelland is that guy?

I mean we're not signing some former elite dman that is entering his twilight years here...maybe I am being overly harsh here, but I am not sure what a journeyman NHL brings to the table in terms of mentoring?
