I just don’t see going after a guy complaining about playing Third line winger minutes instead of top 6 center minutes being happy with 4th line winger minutes I sense some really bad ju ju on this idea
This is exactly it. Nor is he gonna be happy with the league min deal he should get, because anything over what they paid ZAR is an overpayment. The guy played his own way down the ladder.

Sceviour is a legitimate upgrade over guys like Appleton, Lewis, Thompson getting minutes in the Jets bottom 6 so no idea where the waiver wire comment comes from
An equally skilled defenseman would be someone like Riikola, who I mentioned before. Winger that can't crack the top 6 for defenseman that can't crack the top 4
This is really the exact value here.
He's not worth nearly what WPG fans want to get for him. It's total over valuation. He didn't get C minutes in WPG because he couldn't play it at the NHL level. He worked his way down the depth chart as he didn't do anything with the 15 minutes of ice time they gave him at even strength every night.
I'm not even a fan of bringing this guy in. We've seen this act over and over before. JR brings in a circus of reclamation projects hoping to find gold but doesn't. That same act has killed the defense.
We already got 3 of them on this team in Matheson, Jankowski and Ceci. We don't really need another. The more dead weight a boat has to carry eventually there is enough weight that sinks the ship.
