I'm going to lay this out for those opposed to this signing:
Injuries will happen therefore Andersson/Kylington etc will get a chance to come play but they won't be forced to play top 4. The remaining 4 of the top 5 will handle that.
Guluzten has this plan for his dman:
- 22-23 minutes for top 4 guys
- 18 minutes for 5th guy
- 12 minutes for the 6th guy
Bartowski will be the 7th dman imo. Kulak will be the 6th playing 12 minutes or so and getting ready.
It's not a 6-7 year crippling signing. Dollar amount is not bad for a UFA guy.
If you still hate it, remember the sun will still come up tomorrow and you're not signing off the checks.
