Hamhuis can make Ballard worth the $4.2M he is signed to, and I say this with full confidence. Imagine the hips that a Hamhuis/Ballard combo would be throwing down!
FWIW, I remember reading about a MG/Bieksa meeting they had last off season when Bieksa asked MG straight up whether he wanted him on the team or not still, and MG made it clear to Bieksa that he wasn't going anywhere. As I recall this was before Salo hurt himself, and after Hamhuis was signed, so I have faith MG would have made it work one way or another.
Maybe he conspired to have Salo rupture his Achilles somehow... the way our d-men were getting injured just as another was ready to come back in and play last season, you couldn't script it any better than that.
