But another injury-proned forward who doesn't do anything special is not what we need, especially not for 3 years. I would have much rather seeing this guy go to waste and use the money to sign Ruutu and Gleason.

I agree, hopefully he will turn out to be good, even though it doesn't seem that way now. They're trying to negotiate a 1-year deal with Gleason and I believe just beginning talks with Ruutu. Also says they expect LaRose and Seidenberg will likely take them to arbitration.
