This signing has ZERO negative consequence. This is the org. doing a solid NHLer a solid. Treating people good goes a long way around the league.

Like how we did the solid for Koekkoek last year who just sort of disappeared off the radar screen, but who has an extra year on his deal. Or like the solid we did Turris when we gave him that second year and then told him he could just stay home from March on. Or the two year deal we gave Gryba, where we decided it would be too mean to just bury him in the minors for year two, so we bought him out causing cap consequences on ourselves, because he's a solid guy.
There is no need to give a 30+ journeyman AHL player a second year on a contract. Not the end of the world, because, unless the team has another Gryba moment, the deal can be buried with no impact to the cap. Still, kind of funny to give him two years at this point in his career.
