Just an idea... Mathieu Biron - 57 GP 6 G 26 A 32 PTS +11 72 PIM 5 PPG 6'6" - 230 lbs. (Of course these are stats with HAM...) He would sure add size and grit to our D-line IMO.

Well, time will only tell with our new man on D... ...BUT! I think this was a move based on two things- Salary dump AND 1st round pick. Yes this is a set up to something bigger, but you know what?...that just my own opinion. Oh, and who says he'll suit up for us? There are (again, my own opinion) more deserving D-men in our system, who knows - maybe he will fill a spot in HAM that was vaccated by a promotion?

WOW! If anyone would have told me Rivet for a 1st round pick, I'd have asked what colour the sky was in their dream world! Now (just looked outside at the sky...) to see they have done just that, and added a young D-man, who although lacks ofensively, seems to be a reliable stay-at-home type of defenceman, who blocks shots, and has room to grow...WOW! Great one BOB!...very impressive...very eager to see your next move(s) P.S.- Are we making salary room for a reason? (ie:signing a certain D-man in the off-season?)
