The contract is really great, I admit he probably will put in 15-20 maybe if he stays healthy, he's a NHLer. But I think you're just seeing one less hole for a lot of our terrific prospects that fans are very excited to see crack the squad. That's all. So fans are voicing disappointment because they are excited for the future, something this guy obviously is not penciled in for at this point.
There's a reason he was a UFA on August 22.

If he's as bad as you say, he will be given the Galliardi treatment from this coaching staff. I mean, Paul Byron beat out Galliardi for a spot last year. So either he will come in and out perform what he has been the last couple years, or he will be on the fringes of the team and will not be taking space from anyone. They may give him some time at the beginning to see if he can put it together, but I don't believe he will be given ice time throughout the year if he does not perform.
