Val was frustrating to watch with how many grade A scoring chances he passed out of when He was here. He was a different beast tonight
Yeah I trust certain TB fans and their judgement on him and his goal totals the last few years reflect that. Regardless, he fills a hole at C for Philly for this and next year and it was a good use of extra cap space by Hextall.
Not sure people realize how it has little/no effect of Philly and the ED. This is who we are exposing:
Cousins 14 points
Read 13 points
Raffl 11 points
Bellemare 6 points
Weise 5 points
Laughton and Leier.....in the AHL
Oh.....and Philly actually gets to protect one of those guys to finish off their 7 to protect. Adding Flip and his NMC was an easy decision for Hextall.
Hell, on D we have to decide to protect Manning or AMac.....wasted protection spot. I hope we can do the same thing and add a D for free from a team.
