With Grats and SOB, this is going to be a team that isn't going to put up with much s#%t.

If this was last year this would be a terrible signing but cap space isn't a problem for this team so this is alright.

Let's face it, McGrattan is a regular healthy scratch destined for at least some AHL time every season. I suppose a two year contract is good because it ensures nobody is going to pick him up on waivers.

Well if we don't win many games, we will at least win a lot of fights!

good signing, some much needed protection for the young guys. Was thinking 1 year, but who cares at 750k?

Between McGratton and O'Brien, opponents better not lay a finger on one of the kids.

In the wise words of Russel Peters dad. "Somebody gonna get hurt, reeeeal bad."

I like this re-signing.
