When the CBJ signed Gudbranson, Severson and Provorov, I liked the skill set each brought to the team, but in a salary cap environment I thought the team paid too much. All three are making important contributions to our improved defense this season however and are proving me wrong. I don't know if it is the new coach with a better system, or in Gudbranson's case playing his best hockey in a contract year, but all three are earning their way into their contracts.

Do you agree/disagree or have any other thoughts?
