All right… so, Michael McCarron. Let’s get to know him.

Here are the pros:
1. He’s YUGE
2. … Did I mention that he is YUGE?
3. Okay, so he’s kind of just a big body, and that’s it.

Midterm Report: Grading the performance of notable free agent signings with their new clubs | The Hockey News
“Has (Matt Duchene) been an offensive leader? Technically, yes. He’s tied for tops in scoring among Predators forwards with 28 points. But he’s also on pace for 59 points and Nashville was likely hoping for something more in the 70-point range, which is what he posted last season. He’s been sidelined for two games, but if Duchene can continue to produce like a top-six forward, the Predators will be happy. They’re still left searching for that No. 1 pivot, though.”

Sharks’ Logan Couture in walking boot after exiting with injury | ESPN
Logan Couture was helped off the ice with an apparent knee injury in the second period of Tuesday’s game and did not return.

I really feel bad for Couture, because it seems like he gets the hell beat out of him each and every year.
