He hasn't been suspended in the AHL yet, which is a good sign, but I have serious misgivings about bringing a guy with that level of crazy onto the NHL team.

In fairness to him, in his interview last week he explicitly noted that the league in Germany was not nearly as physical or tough as the AHL. In that respect, I got the impression that he played that way in Germany because he knew it gave him an explicit edge, but that he wouldn't have a similar edge in the AHL.
