I am so happy he is gone. Be prepared to wonder how he’s in the league.

He'll fit right in.

 

[The Nuge]

Seems way too cheap

 

[TMLegend]

Dubas special.

 

[SEALBound]

POJ replacement for a 2/3LD spot. Hopefully he finds his game a bit better here. 1 year so whatever.

 

[TMLegend]

I'd say it's too much. He sucks. Damn this dudes name is a nightmare to spell.

Seems way too cheap

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Dubas is making a cognizant effort to make this team soft and unwatchable.

Future assets? I doubt it. Teams don’t want undersized and weak defensemen for the playoffs.

 

[I am Bettman]

He was the Bruins whipping boy all season but he is very good at recoveries and doesn’t really hurt you that much despite what other fans say.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Don't hate it, don't like it, he's just whatever, at least he isnt Chad Ruhwedel so he at least comes in with that going for him.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Pens are not making playoffs so they should be fine with Matt.

Very thankful that I no longer have to watch him play in a Bruins uniform.

There is a reason he's a healthy scratch come playoff time.

I don’t think we’ll have to worry about his performance in the playoffs this year.

You can say that again

 

[PensandCaps]

Seems fine for a bottom pair guy. No risk at all with the term, can easily dump him if he sucks.

 

[TD Charlie]

Some days you’ll wonder how he’s making just 2.75

Then the next night you’ll wonder how he’s still playing in the NHL

He’s just as soft as they come, and it very much negatively impacts the rest of his game

 

[Dellstrom]

Can still play decent minutes, fantastic skater. Small and gets pushed around. Decent enough contract for what he is.

 

[wintersej]

Excellent puck mover. Good at using his feet in center ice to break up plays before they start. Bad defender. Bruins didn’t have very good forwards this year and too often when he got it up to them it came right on back and he had to defend. He has bad +\- numbers in the playoffs, and some think the added physicality made him a worse player and some think it was luck. Probably both. But what is hard to avoid is that he would get dinged up a lot once the hitting got heavy.

 

[mjhfb]

Went from being BU captain, then an elite transition D and McAvoys partner on the first pair, 2nd in the NHL in +/-, to recently someone who couldn't even make the lineup over rookies breaking in. Depending on which Grz the Penguins get will determine things.

 

[dredeye]

Good signing for a deadline trade piece

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Grizzlychuck and Noodlecakovich on the same team. Great, my keyboard's in for a workout.

 

[Dicky113]

Seems way too cheap

Might be the worst defenseman in the nhl. How he makes anything above league minimum is astounding

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Had a rough year last year but a solid nhl dman. Great at retrieving the puck and getting it going the other way

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Good puck mover, but think he can be outmuscled in the playoffs when the game moves to the trenches. He is small and skilled so not suprised Dubas likes him.

 

[CrownofThornton]

Despite what everyone says, he’s a good D man.

Hes only really bad in a playoff situation when things are amped up physically.
