I like the move, picks sent to Sudbury don’t mean much, they have time and can always maneuver to get the 2nd back. Having another right handed d that will be here this year and next will be huge. Mann will teach these guys how to play with structure, we don’t need a scoring d, goals will come, we need one that stops us from being scored on and can make the first pass without a turnover. Personally I couldn’t care less how many points he has. The first thing so many people look at in the stats is player points to assign value. You need goal scorers yes, but you also need the guys who are willing to go through a wall for the team and do the things that those goal scoring players won’t do, like block shots, win battles, drop the gloves etc. Not saying Chromiak is that player but he’s one that plays d fairly well and has lots of upside. I think Cooper did another great job on this, he got a player we neended, Chromiak will push the other d at the top to be better, nobody wants to lose playing minutes and we now have a coach who can teach.
