Mark Fistric re-signs, DAL revamp of D appears complete

Fistric re-signs for $3 mil / 3 yr, cap hit of $1 mil.

With the additions of Woywitka ($1.3K, 2 yr, cap hit of $650K) and Skraskins ($2.75 mil / 2 yr, cap hit of $1.375) and the re-signing of Fistric, it would appear that DAL has re-hauled their D -- and that there is no longer any room for Zubov:

Daley - Robidas
Skraskins - Fistric
Grossman - Niskanen
Woywitka - Hutchinson

All 8 are 1-way deal, btw.

Is it mean of me to say that their D looks like Dung?

Niskanen = super under-rated. Woywitka had a strong finish in STL, too, although he's got much less sexiness.

With Robidas, Fistric, Daley, and Skraskins, they're certainly going to be a tough team. Niskanen and Hutchinson/Grossman give them some mobility, too.

But, yea, not exactly the D I'd want, overall, for my team.

I shouldn't say it looks like Dung, it looks...very underwhelming and almost as if they patched it together.

Well, with Zubov gone, DAL joins the ranks of many teams (like the Sens) who are without a real #1 D.

Robidas is a treat to watch, tho'. Tough dude, and has some offensive upside.

Speaking of Daley, he just moved here the other week, and I got to meet him because my Dad was installing his satellite. He gave me a signed hat too. Really nice guy.

Yeah, he's one of my favourites for sure. Problem is, he plays so tough that his body gets worn down over the course of the season. Hopefully for Dallas he has a complete season.
