well that, and i'm STILL not that quite certain how i feel about Brad Stuart yet. |
I think Handzus was a great signing for the defensive scheme of this team, I'm just not so sure we had to pay him 4 million for 4 years because we do have Trevor Lewis and M.A. Cliche who could possibly take over that role in less than 2 years.
Nagy and Stuart seemed like a good idea at the time, but then again these guys have been bouncing around different teams for the last 2 seasons. If they were really worth the money, maybe they would have been offered contracts by their prior teams. I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't excited when we signed these UFA's, but at the time it seemed like the Kings were desperate to sign anybody who can fill the holes, and these two appear to have played their best hockey in other uniforms.
