[Signing] Canucks Sign Santorelli

I could honestly see this as our lineup next season. Just picked O'byrne as he is a local guy and in the mold of a cheap RH 3rd pairing veteran with a little toughness, Montador is another similar choice.

The youth movement means giving our young guys significant ice time... Kassian I really believes stays on the top line.

If you need toughness, you slide out Jensen, Santorelli, and Weber... move Richardson to the middle in the 4th line between Sestito and Weise. (promoting Booth to the 2nd line).

If you need skill, you have Santorelli on the 4th line and have two third lines who can contribute.... also it is a 4th line you can trust to be out there in pretty much any situation.

Although I wouldn't call him small...he isn't what I would call a 'prototypical' 4th liner..which from my understanding is what MG is kind of trying to go for these days (you know...the whole getting bigger and stronger thing).

I hope he does turn out to be some sort of face-off wizard, I suppose.

People who have Hansen on the fourth line need to give up their wake and bake morning ritual, it is clearly affecting their ability to think. As for Santorelli, good depth signing, hope he finds some magic playing for his hometown.
