Meh, Rooney is already 29 and was one of the worst offensive and defensive players in the league last year.
I can understand giving him a shot to maybe rediscover some of his OK suppression results from his time with the Devils but I have no idea why it cost so much. Even at his best, he's been a fourth-line guy ... and this isn't a Gudbranson case where teams are trying to unlock some high draft pedigree.
There are significantly better players available two weeks into free agency. Guys like Heinen and Donato are signing for less.
