Why am I taking the time to create a thread about a journeyman NHL defenseman? Because he may not have been one of the best players, but he most certainly is one of the better human beings to ever take to the ice as a pro hockey player. https://twitter.com/ian_mendes/status/1 ... 1444064257 We need more people like this in sports.

Preds may actually be able to pull off the quick retool, especially after dumping the contracts of Ekholm and Granlund.
