Milano won’t cut it even in a bottom six role, lacking defensive skill or toughness?

Milano isn't or hasn't ever been know for his defensive skill or toughness. He's offense first so depending on who he'd be playing with...

I think if he could sign for a reasonable cost, meh. He wasn't traded for so we've lost no assets, its simply a question of is he better than what we have in the A or better than a current roster player?

Realistically who does he replace?

It’s time to promote from the A

I want to see what Milano can do playing with top end talent. If he is middle six material I agree, give the spot to someone in the system.

".....Milano has long been seen as an untapped reservoir of potential, seemingly at odds with John Tortorella’s hard-nosed style of play and defensive priority."

In which case Calgary would seem to be an even worse fit.
