				I was undecided on Huttula, but pleased with the re-signing of Juusola. 
Wonder if Fox is reading the ‘arm chair coach’ posts on here?

				Both great signings in my book! Juusola's stats make him our most potent forward, so a no brainer we'd want him back. Really hoping Cormier is back to partner Huttula, as I thought they were a great pairing.

Both near enough top of my retain list, so I'm delighted by this news.
I wasn't sure about Huttula for the first month or so, but he really grew on me as the season progressed.

Huttula was high on my list, he's probably our most consistently physical D, and has got a great first pass. I think he needs to not over commit occasionally, but his skating is good enough to usually get him back in to position in time. 
Very happy with both!

				Cormier and Shudra confirmed! Incredible work to get Cormier back, probably top 3 D in the league.

I thought Cormier and Huttula were excellent as a pairing. Getting those 2 back together feels a bit like getting Nev and Petgrave back together prior to the GS season.
My mate will be happy, when we were out Saturday night for a beer he said Cormier was his number 1 choice on d for a return, partly due to his role on special teams.
So far so good on the recruitment front.

Doom
