OMG, I thought I'd never have to endure O'Brien again. Please tell me I don't have to watch his trademark slow-motion spin-o-rama at his own blue line again...

The 31-year-old O'Brien appeared in 45 games with the Flames in 2013-14, managing just three assists while logging roughly 11 minutes per game and posting absolutely brutal underlying numbers.

"Shane is very happy to have the opportunity to come to Panthers camp and push to make the team," Upshall told Rimer. "He's had a really good summer training and is in the best shape of his career."

…I really hope he doesn't manage to stick with the team. He was one of the few wastes of space on the team last year. The Panthers defense doesn't really need him unless he's an AHL call up, and even then I'd rather someone else.
I'm shocked that anyone gave him a chance after last year. Even if they are going for a d-man with physicality they have to know that Burke would have kept him if he wasn't the worst defenseman in the entire league.
