I would rather have Albert Johansson on the second pairing over Petry. Johansson was excellent in Grand Rapids last season. In fact, I'd rather see him get more ice time over Matta and Gustafson (they are both mediocre at best). Time for him to start playing and cut his teeth in some NHL games. Let's see what he can do. We already know half our defenseman are sub-par NHL defensemen.

We do need to make sure he gets in the rotation. We’re out of waiver options, it would be stupid to let him just sit there.
