Why is Larry Brooks drooling over Santorelli

I don't fully agree sc. Is Sant some huge add if they get him, nope, but he can add some faceoff ability and can score 15 or 16 goals as well.

He would clearly help lengthen the lineup and enable us to not have to rely on Glass and Fast and Stemp. So he would help, even if he isn't the end all be all.

Sure I would rather have Vermette, but so will 5 other teams. And Sant's cap hit is better for us as well.

With that said give me Winnik and I'll be happy (assuming AV is okay playing Miller with Hags and Hayes moving forward).

The funny thing about the playoffs is the players everybody thinks is the least likely to contribute actually contribute the most. Like Carcillo last year. I don't care who they add: Vermette, Santorelli, Kaleta, Winnik, Bergenheim, etc... As long as they contribute. Remember in the last three or four years the Rangers, kings and Blackhawks have played the most playoff series out of any team in the NHL. Even though the guys are young on this team they have a ton of playoff experience already
