Yeah, and I know that is also the thinking behind keeping Connor down, but from the limited bit I've seen from Niskanen, I'm pretty convinced he's ready to contribute as one of the top 6 D. No one is going to take Robi's contract...but if Niskanen can keep it up, I think it might open the door to trading Daley or even Boucher down the road for offensive help. I'm pretty interested in seeing how Grossman looks when he comes back.
Oh God. I've got the Nashville broadcast tonight on Center Ice. Of all our D men, they chose to highlight Trevor Daley "who loves to beat you one on one." ...This is going to be painful.
