I was going to mention something about saving me a spot in the canyon...
but I’m pretty sure that when we signed Brendan Bell I already made my reservation.
Proudly suffering as a Ranger fan.

Cool.
One thing I was afraid of with the Connecticut Whale overhaul was that they would lose some of their team toughness, which the team had so much of last season. This signing addresses that.

This guy has to be one of the few people born in the Bahamas to play in the NHL right?

Yeah I'm hopeful for Richards and Gaborik to work out... I mean how many FA signings does it take to hit the jackpot?
Yes that's Richards hoisting the cup in the picture. I'm hoping 9 years from now I won't have to photoshop that picture.

Slats has a hard on for these types of players. Surprising he has a scoring touch also.

Can't hurt.
Numbers aren’t bad. One of those guys I guess that can be an emergency call up if there are 3 injuries.

Any thoughts on line combinations for CT?
I’m worried about the 2nd line center spot and 3rd line LW. Hope Slats picks up a veteran 6th/7th d-man to help the young guys. Does anyone know if Kolarik was resigned?

Kolarik has a contract, yes.
