But the fact remains that he is a goon, he is not the top tier scorer that we need right now, and I have hated him for his entire career. I don't care about the freaking stats here! I will never root for this clown! Inferno, I guess you have a point.

That's $1.4 Million, which is more than what Colton Orr was given, and Orr is an ACTUAL hockey player, unlike this goon. Brashear is set to make $2.8 Million dollars over two seasons.

Brashear averages about 17 points a season throughout his 15 year career. Orr on the other hand has scored a COMBINED 11 points in his 5 year career. Brashear is the better play, there is no doubt whatsoever there, hes also a better fighter, a better hitter, and a more intimidating SOB. thats not the point here, the point is that this signing is 100% completely unnecessary.

Why would you let an enforcer who can actually play go, and then replace him with a goon who has no buisiness playing in the NHL. I absolutely HATE Brashear! I hope Orr breaks his face the next time we play Toronto! Why Brashear, WHY!!!!! This is a horrible signing!

All he is is a GOON. He brings a THUG and cheapshotting mentality to the New York Rangers. I do not want him on the team, now especially after what he did to Bettsy in the playoffs. He only fights and cheapshots people, and most of his fights are staged. He is a disgrace to this league, and Glen Slather (to me) has just deficated on the New York Rangers shield. No matter how much praise I gave him for dumping Gomez, he has sunk to a new low with signing this excuse of a hockey player.
