I know you guys have already posted this but here is the article. Thoughts?
DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings added some toughness and abrasiveness to their fourth line by signing Jordin Tootoo to a three-year contract worth $1.9 million per season.
Tootoo, 28, spent his entire eight-year NHL career in Nashville, where he appeared in 486 games, picking up 46 goals and 79 assists, along with a minus-26 rating and 725 penalty minutes.
He is small (5-foot-9, 199) but stocky and very abrasive, but his aggressiveness sometimes leads to bad penalties.
Tootoo, who shoots right-handed, collected a career-high 30 points (six goals, 24 assists) in 2011-12. But he fell out of favor with coach Barry Trotz last season and played in only one game in Nashville's first-round playoff victory over Detroit.
