They get an NHL defenseman.

...you've gotta work on your rebuttal because the TML defense is still terrible and their goalie is shelled regularly. Hopefully they learn faster than Edmonton.

I really don't see the aversion to taking on Girardi's help for this season, it's not like they need to tank to get Mathews anymore. Besides, if you can figure out a way to get out from Dion Phaneauf's stellar deal, you sure can figure out a way to get out of Girardi's once you no longer needed him.

...how'd I do?

Once we no longer need him? We don't need him now. You are absolutely correct in the fact that our D is not good, now explain how adding another not good defenseman on a brutal contract helps. And yes, we unloaded our bad defense contract (Dion), now it's your turn....go find your own Ottawa. I wouldn't trade a stale donut for Girardi.
