Well, every team needs an Iiro Pakarinen...
I don't mind the gamble on guys like Haas and Persson. I just don't expect they're going to move the needle much either. I have no issue with this signing - other than the fact that we have more fourth liners than we can possibly keep. I wonder if Brodziak isn't pushed to the minors too...

Team speed was a big hole last year, throughout the roster, it affected everything, the PK, and bottom 6, as well as D, with exception of D. Nurse.
IMHO I'd file these guys as below required NHL speed/quickness;
Below Required
D
Larsson
Benning
Forwards
Lucic
Brodziak
Gagner
Chaisson
.. and these guys passable..
Average Speed/Quickness
D
Klefbom
Russell
Forwards
Khaira
Cave
More speed the better, getting to the puck first is half the possession battle

Absolutely **cannot** agree on Larsson being too slow. Gagner too, but he’s closer to the low end.
|
You think Larsson is fast/quick? I have to agree to disagree there
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
