I know you'll say it's a useless stat, but he's leading Bingo in +/-, or at least was, not too long ago. More importantly, he was -13 last year and is +13 this year -- that's a big turnaround. He's not going to light it up, but his offense is about on par with last year's output, but he does have a lot more PIMs. The whole team has more PIMs this year, I think. And he shoots left.

As a bottom-pairing guy, why not? I think he'll get a shot in the not-too-distant future, assuming he doesn't falter playing top-pairing minutes with Wiercioch and Borowiecki up in Ottawa.

What's his +/- look like without the two best goaltenders in the AHL?

Boro is actually second on the team, and has missed some time. Anyhow, I'm just saying that he hasn't regressed as some people are saying/thinking, although he did get passed by others. I just keep looking and he's our only rightie.

What does the defense look like for tonight's game? Lawson in goal?

I feel bad for Gryba... He should get his chance.

Big Dman Eric Gryba easily biggest minute eater and was a rock for #BSens tonight. D plays and physical presence. And he chipped in 2 goals.

Pretty good low risk signing and has some potential for growth and could get an NHL backup out of him at some point down the line. This is only his 3rd season out of Uni as well so it's not like he has no shot at developing more at the AHL level.
