Dallas Drake signs 1 year deal

We grabbed Drake for a year. He will bring grit leadership and toughness. Not my first pick, but it will work. I would still like one more forward tho.

I don't like it, reminds me of a poormans Kris Draper. Just a vetern leader but do we need yet another with the countless playoff expirence we have?

I dunno XBL, it isnt that bad. He will prolly play with someone like Maltby about 10-12 mins a night. I dont see how it could hurt us.

I still think we need to sign another Forward still. How do u feel about Yashin?

Great talent **** attitude. Sort of like the Bonzi Wells of hockey. There is no way I would sign him unless it's dirt cheap like under $1.5 million.

Drake is a grinder nothing more I would rather use that money and sign a potential guy and try to see how they work. We have a great coaching staff who could help them along.
