Mixed feelings on this.
Value is fine, but Leddy, Boychuk, Pelech, & are signed long term already, and Pulock has years before UFA. Mayfield was put on NHL waivers by NYI & cleared so they were set to let another team claim him. Plus there is Toews/Aho on ELC, and they need some veterans on that defense to do what Seidenberg did last season when used properly.
