Okay Bingo. I am waiting for your comments on this one. Personally not a fan of Brock but he does play with energy and passion. That is basically to make up for his lack of skill.

To be clear, i don't hate Brock.

I do, however, think he's vastly overpaid. You don't need to spend $2+ million for a penalty killing 4th liner. You can get similar results for a lot less.

I agree with this. I think between killing penalties and adding in a bit of offense, he's quite good for the fourth line but his contract is too rich for the role he played this year.

Between he and Martinook one of them has to go next season...

...though Rod loves them both, so it'll probably be Dzingle.

Whether Williams returns again will have a big impact in the bottom-six. If he doesn't, I'd imagine McGinn-Geekie-Martinook as the fourth line.
