Who said "intimidating"? He initiates contact, doesn't back down from it, and comes out ahead more often then behind, especially considering his alleged handicap. As for sand paper, he suckers in other players into taking stupid penalties against him and mucks it up as the whistle is blowing. Marchand isn't "intimidating" either, but he has sandpaper. The two terms I used aren't synonymous with "intimidating".Calling him physical is stretching it. When you are barely 5'10, you are not intimidating anyone with your physicality. With the cap where it is, there is no way you are dumping Garland without salary coming back.
Can you point out where I said no salary can come back? We just don't need offensive D and more wingers...which are typically what are offered (in Garland trades or any others), usually on worse contacts then Garland. If we have a defensive D on a sizable contract at a similar age that would replace what we'd lose in Garland, no one would be complaining on our end.
You seem to be doing a lot of projecting onto my posts, while going completely quiet on other points I've made that are counter to yours.
