He makes good moves, sure he scored a few very needed goals, but if you look most he did on his own. He still doesn't blend with other players. Even Vrana uses playmates much better. But I won't surprise if we'll move him, someone we'll crack his code and makes him a great player.

Everyone loves this deal, it is so much win-win!

Just wondering if you can see even a little up-side to this signing. And yes, I'm sorry to say, I'm laughing just a little bit on the inside b/c our only crease-clearer is back.

well just goes to show how long that is been since we’ve had a real crease-clearing, physical, hard-working smart Dman that some Caps fan consider Hooks one 🤣
In a cooler of Bud Ligh Lime, a plain Budweiser looks like a good beer. But on its own . . .far from it.
This signings clear, first the Avs where willing to do this to get Grubby, and second: it’s because Reidon. They’ve had a long history, Hooks is familiar with the system and will aide on the transition. That’s about it.
We certainly didn’t get a deal on an NHL elite, HOF bound physical defenseman top tier enforcer that some act like we did.

Is there an Elite Hof bound physical defenseman top tier enforcer in the NHL?
No there isn't so I'm not sure what your point is.
