Brashear on Waivers

This has already been mentioned in the previous post. I ridiculed the signing, but only because he was put on waivers after signing a 2 year deal for 1.4 million per just this past offseason.

I'm probably the only one who wants him in the lineup at this point. I don't like big hockey players who don't play with an edge. The Rangers have that in a center now turned left wing Brian Boyle. All he does is kill penalties. We have plenty of guys who can do that. I would rather have the physical presence of Brashear in the lineup. Sure, he's lost most of his fights this season. But you tell me who would you rather have in the lineup for those three remaining games vs. Philly?

When the Rangers acquired Brandon Prust from the Flames, I actually liked the idea of having Avery, Prust, Voros, and Brashear in the lineup just for Philly. After all they have Hartnell, Asham, Laperriere, and Carcillo, just to name a few. You would not see anything like what happened to Gaborik that last game. The Rangers would actually be- is it possible?- tough.

Two of those three games vs. Philly are the final two of the season. For all we know the team could be out of it by then. Might has well have the goons to go down with a fight.
