For me it'd be the value of him stepping up so that someone like Tkachuk doesn't have to. Come regular season, I want Tkachuk hopefully hitting 40g this season, instead of being tossed in a game. If McEwan steps up, he might even get another NHL contract after next season
Guys like Jenkins, Ostapchuk and even Greig will drop them. Have a heavyweight in the A you can call up for 2 minutes of icetime against certain opponents.

Macewen should be sent
You aren't wrong, but it was for a pretty dirty hit. Anyone can do that if they're willing to cross the line. Most players just respect their peers more than to be out there trying to hurt people with blindside hits.
eh, Greig's hit was also dirty but its also part of playing on the edge. Wifi def was more dirty but I can understand the response. If the sens want to play a more physical style of hockey they are going to also have. to fight some battles.

I don't entirely disagree. I just mean that if taking cheap shots on players is the what they bring, anyone can do that if they choose to, it doesn't require toughness. Admittedly, only a few are willing to go there, so I guess that's what those guys bring to the table. I give Greig a little more of a pass cuz it wasn't quite the headhunt job imo, but also because he brings other things to the table, he's an agitator and can score, he's not a borderline AHLer. Just rubs me the wrong way I guess to see plugs taking cheap shots at stars.

Not really much better. Who is available ?

Maybe Boko Imama will end up on waivers. He's not great as an actual player, but at least he knows what his job is.

If we weren't saddled with MacEwen's one-way contract, I wonder if he'd have been back this year. I'd take him as the 13th forward over Zach MacEwen at this point.

I don’t think MacEwan’s contract is a problem. Andlauer is spending a ton on Belleville
