Acquiring Dennis Seidenberg over the summer was a strange move by New York Islanders GM Garth Snow. Here was a 35-year-old defenceman who was just bought out by his previous club.
He was expendable to the Bruins, so what could he do for the Islanders? He was cheap. At $1 million he wasn’t a big hit on the cap. But what could he offer except maybe keep Ryan Pulock or Adam Pelech from the lineup?
And then Dennis Seidenberg scored eight points in eight games between October 21st and November 5th.
