Serviceable 3rd pairing guy, happy he gets a good contract./
He was a healthy scratch in the finals on a team who's D-core isn't super difficult to crack. They finally just gave Broberg a chance, and he was far superior than Vinny.

I've always had a soft spot for Vinny, but there's zero chance I'd be happy with him at 2 mil per.

Solid on the PK though, his foot speed, puck moving, and hockey sense are what holds him back.

Davo is going to make him look like an ECHLer regularly. Vinny is a good net front defender, but he sucks at breaking pucks out and his rush defending is really weak.
He is good at being 2 meters tall in other words.

Tocchet likes size on the back end, if Gonchar and Foote can fix Myers, there's probably some room to improve here.

Not really a fan though.
