Stay at home RHD.. not very fast.. but plays smart and effective defence.. he won't be carrying the puck very much..
If Walman comes back fat and slow like he was last year, our defence will be spending a lot of time in our own end.. Broberg would have been a good puck carrier (thanks Stan/JJ)
He like Dickinson were essentially UFA's I think trying to replace either with the same skill level on the current UFA market would have been at least 1M+ per and 5 years or more for term..
Being RHD Murphy's UFA market value was probably higher ..
Secures a couple of important positions.. now the real work comes.. I think Kapenen's agent will want something close to the same..
Hard to do your shopping in the UFA market when you have limited cap.. we really need to identify and procure younger talent via trade .. buy low.. but you need high level player assessment abilities to consider that.. similar to Carolina.. otherwise you get a guy like Fred for 8 years on a NTC for most of it.
