He looks awful. Skoula is a Norris trophy candidate compered to Hnidy. What is he doing in NHL.

I think Hnidy has been just fine. We've had much worse defenseman...

Maybe, but why would we let Skoula and Foster go for that pylon. He might be as good skater as Foster, but Foster had at least a canon shot and he actually learned to use his body. This guys is just a pretender.

Supposedly he is physical and willing to fight, haven't seen him do much of either. His shot > Foster's because he can actually hit the net. I'm still confused why we let Skoula go, especially when he signed for peanuts, he was good for us, not just last year either.

Last year one of the big complaints was we weren't tough enough in front of the net. Hnidy helps address that.
