Dennis Seidenberg

#4 / Defenseman / Carolina Hurricanes

Height: 6-1

Weight: 210

Born: Jul 18, 1981

A report by Newsday's Steve Zipay has unrestricted free agent Dennis Seidenberg discussing contract options with the Cats and New York Rangers.

Making his NHL debut in 2002-03, Seidenberg has never played in more than 70 games in a season (and frequently far less), maxing out with a career-best 30 points (-9) in 2008-09 with Carolina. Other stops included Phoenix and Philadelphia (of which he was a sixth-round choice in 2001).

A third-pairing d-man at best among current Panthers blueliners, he would likely fill the anticipated Jassen Cullimore role: that of mentor to the younglings, especially in light of names such as Keaton Ellerby, Jason Garrison, and Dmitry Kulikov gunning for a roster spot (or two) with the Big Club.

This would not make me unhappy either. I think he’d be another good vet on the defense, and probably for a good price. I think we need scoring more, but I’m still a little worried about both Bryans making it through the whole season unhurt and Seidenberg would be a good replacement for Cullimore.

As a Flyer fan, here’s another guy that I thought for the right price would be a solid addition to the 3rd D pairing.

He’d look good with Florida too.
