I'll never force a filter on any fan, but if you deem him a fourth liner, he's a good one. If you look at the salaries on the team and where he sorts he's a hot mess.

Sure, but in a capped world you have to evaluate based on the room they take on your cap space. He's making 5 times what hathaway does. Sure having him as a veteran calming influence is worth a bit but not 3.8 million bucks.
Also, and I know this isn't his fault, but what in the absolute hell is he doing on the PP.
