RolexSub Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I am always saying we lack toughness and we need more of it in the playoffs!! I am gain to bring Zack back to replace PDG if so. Zack will add a different element to the puzzle we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Crazy that he still only is 27. he has attributes I like. maybe not ready for a competitive playoff run, but Id be curious what player development/coaching staff could squeeze out of him (if claimed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCanuck12 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) He would only have a hope of brining toughness in the playoffs if he could play. That would be the sticking point, I'm afraid. We need to trade for Trenin or Greenway in order to acquire toughness that can actually play.

The Lock Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Not surprised he cleared. It's not his 1st time clearing waivers if I'm correct and the only time he was ever claimed was when Philly claimed him from us. Also, thank god we didn't claim him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now that he's cleared I'd love to add him. I'd swap McDonut for him. Abby could use him, and it would be good to have him around as a lil nuclear deterrent.

His physical play and willing to do what it takes to grind the other team down. That is what you also will need to be successful in the playoffs. You don't need to be fighter but he is also willing to stick up for his teammates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
