From Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe:
By signing Stephane Yelle to a one-year, $750,000 contract (this season’s version of Glen Metropolit) yesterday, GM Peter Chiarelli added some characteristics that are always in demand: penalty-killing, faceoff success, experience, and veteran leadership.
But Chiarelli also expanded his options by bringing in the center/left wing.
First, let’s assume that Yelle makes the club out of training camp and fills the expected roles: fourth-line center/wing, penalty killer on the first or second set of forwards, faceoff specialist. If so, how does that impact the rest of the roster? Let’s go down the line.
