Didn't work so well when we did the same thing with Gervais....

I think the trick is to get somebody with a bit more untapped upside than Rory Fitzpatrick or Nolan Baumgartner.

Shjon Podein > Jay Rosehill

He can shoot, skate, can be physical, and is fairly young. Perfect third pairing guy.

This has not been true since the 11/12 season.

Why is he perfect for the third pair next season if he wasn't this past season?

Not consistently enough, but he has been injury plagued. You can understand why he might not be there mentally. He was healthy all last year, so I have faith he can return to form.

He can skate well.

what does this even mean?

Cause that 4M dollar cap hit is gone. You can't pay a third pairing guy that much money.

Even last year he wasn't physical at all. In 10/11 and 11/12, he had that booming shot, was good positionally, could move the puck, and hit like a train. The physical aspect is all but gone, and his positioning rivals that of...well, me.

That's my point. Why say/type "Timmo" when it's just as easy to say/type "Kimmo?"

At least vocally, it might avoid somebody thinking you're talking about kimmotherapy.

Yeah, apparently into the top-10:

I can see that. I guess maybe they could look to bring in a vet on a PTO or maybe some league minimum or cheap type dman on a 1 year deal.

Examples.

Jeff Shultz
Brett Belemore
Tom Gilbert
Brian Lee
Ryan Whitney


Something like that

I'd personally rather keep Grossmann and wait for the right move.

I get that. I guess if Alt plays well enough you can always move Grossmann if a team loses a dmen during the season or in camp. Then you might be able to get more value.
