Many hold the same opinion as I do with regards to Micheal Haley. He just doesn’t cut it on the Panthers’ 4th line, nor does he match up well against other fourth liners. Haley, who is 32 years of age, just completed his first season as a Florida Panther.
In 75 games played, the Canadian-born forward recorded 3G, 6A, and 9 points. To begin, 75 games is way too many for a player of Haley’s caliber. At most should he be seeing 30 games (and that’s being generous!).
Furthermore, his role, which is to fight opposing players, just isn’t needed in this new era of hockey.
