He signed for upper tier almost all star calibre money.. Not saying he wont gel and be a important defender on this team. But he is not worth the value we pay him.. Not his fault but Im really starting to questing MG's signings, he doesnt see value in guys we have, but we take "chances" on other players with big money deals, and lets be honest they are not panning out, and were being stuck with large contracts for relatively ineffective players that will handcuff our team for years down the road.

oh god he scored, here it comes..

Garrison a +6,< Salo a +12 Better cap hit, and move leverage for when a real D-man comes available to sign aswell. I really hope Garrison comes around cause lets admit that contract is not exactly trade friendly either.

3.75M/Y for 2 years, compared to 4.6M/Y over 6 years? Yes I would of signed Salo to that contract he was our best D man, We always overlook our own players but overpay some florida slug like Ballard or Garrison to insane unjustified money.
