Not a chance. You can only have so many small players in the lineup, especially on the blue line. Another sub 6'0 200 pound defender is a recipe for disaster. Ellis is a PP specialist and we really don't need that at all. Are you going to take PP time away from Giordano, Brodie, Wideman or Russell? I also don't see Ellis helping this team against the west coast clubs. We need some size on the blue line to help counter the bulk of those west coast teams. Ellis doesn't help us in any way.
