I liked him in STLCan you tell us a bit about him?
Energy, extreme body contact...versatile.. Solid and you know what you are getting every nightCan you tell us a bit about him?

Pretty good at being energy down low on attack
And can cover defensively
If he does not implode being 31+ years old now
Thanks a lot. Glad to hear it.Energy, extreme body contact...versatile.. Solid and you know what you are getting every night
I don't mind Acciari, I'm on the record as a fan of agitators and hitters. I just think it's pricey for what he brings and how we're going to use him, but I'm okay with it.View attachment 725260

You guys wanted more physicality. He was tops in the playoffs in hits among non-finalists, by a landslide.
Since he can actually do more than just hit, I'll welcome that edge to his game.
77 percentile ES defense last year. Averages like 25 PIMs a year. 12 goals per 82 games, so he might pop in 10 for us. He's used to heavy defensive usage too.I don't mind Acciari, I'm on the record as a fan of agitators and hitters.

I'm probably the most excited about this signing, as low stakes as it is, out of the rest of the UFA signings yesterday.
This is probably what the Tanev contract should have looked like, tbh.

If his line can hold the fort, and he can improve our special teams differential, I don't mind him at 2 mil.

I also guarantee you he'll start to hit less as the season goes on, which makes the acquisition a little weird because he doesn't really do anything else. It happens to every physical player we bring in with Sully.Exactly. I don't know how much the league is scared of an undersized costly shit stirrer. This is a 100% Dubas carry over from Toronto.
Agree about the Tanev contract which makes this one should have been like 1.2/1.5 considering the term he got.
Don't hate the player, hate the high cost put to 4th liners and how easy they are given it.
I would have liked Hathaway if they were gonna go that route. He was a difference of .375 with the same hits ratio as a positive player and had size that matters. Still costly for my liking, but I would still been more okay with it. He actually makes it harder to play against.I also guarantee you he'll start to hit less as the season goes on, which makes the acquisition a little weird because he doesn't really do anything else.

It's half truePeople still think hits are a good stat? All that says to me is he never has the puck.
