Coyotes Ink Paul Bissonnette to Two-Year Contract

It's always good news when a tough guy gets a one way deal.

Now lets hope that preseason BS (turning down little Richard Clune), is all behind him.

What a poor statement by you. He defiantly does enforce, and fights well. he had a good fighting season last year. he would scrap more often but got scratched. he was about 11-12 on the list.

i'd sit on a roster and tweet for that kind of cash.

someone posted a quote of his not to long ago saying he wanted to fight less and become a regular shift guy. while i don't have a problem with him playing more he isn't a very good player. So to say he is going to fight less isn't very encouraging.

Good to know Bissonnette will be around for a few more years.

Yeah Throwdown, I think brymaster was stating what has happen this preseason and over the offseason. This has came from yote fans. It looks like Biz wants to play more than fight, that is what I got out of it. I guess he thinks that is a way he can stay in the lineup. Looks like you guys haven't seen or heard of this yet, so here is a thread that it took place in....

Coyotes cut 21, including Hollweg

I asked... He turned down Clune?

But, us coyote fight fans know he doesn't like the role very much, hence expecting less activity from him this season with the addition of this.

There are the quotes, so you don't have to look through the post.

That's what I think Bry was talking about.

I think Biz will be back to his normal sh*t and put this BS behind him come the regular season.

How so? The guy barely even scores and knows that he isn't going to score. Can't you just be a little happy for the guy. He just got a new contract for Christ sake.

I'm happy for the guy, I'm just not happy the way he is reportedly trying to take his game is all.

Hmm maybe, But I think he just wants to get scratched less. a little more playing time to ensure he isnt scratched. he some some bad stretches last year. he is still gonna fight. i think over 10 as well.
