This is good, they missed out on Reaves.

Prout is as good as they come when it comes to toughness and fighting ability. He will be the 8th defence men and only play against big teams as a deterrent. Give a young guy a night off to watch and learn from the pressbox.

they may even play him as a winger if the need that toughness in the lineup without sacrificing the defence.

If they signed Reaves, they'd probably have to play him regularly to justify the contract. At this rate, Prout can play very sporadically and be a locker room guy.

If you can't get a toughie who can play, this is probably the best solution for toughness.
