Agreed, Acoltse will likely be on the top defensive pairing in Adirondack

That's the Sena Acolaste who should be developed more than our current, more promising defensive prospects?

If you say so...
Injury riddled, yes. Unimpressive, no. According to Sharks fans he wasn't unimpressive at all and most are quite upset he was not given a qualifying offer. Just because you don't know who a player is does not mean they were unimpressive or that they are no good. Acolatse is easily a top 4 defenseman on any AHL club and likely top pairing on Adirondack. Acolatse was most likely not signed because of his injury history, not because he is the poor player you deduce him to be. He will be nowhere near the ECHL.
