I think Forbort is decent and I’d like a player like that in the lineup but it can’t be more than on the third pairing and the cap hit can’t be more than $1.5 million. You can’t pay third pairing guys $2 million or more.

Oh yeah, for sure-my point wasn't that Forbort should be put on any team's top pairing by any means, just that he can be more than a depth guy. His mobility and competency with passing means he can ride shotgun for the guys in your top-4. Perhaps he was aquired to be a cheap replacement for Hamonic? I know it's been rumored that Tre wants to re-sign Hammer, but perhaps this is a contingency?
