Lou was a must have back signing for us, he improved massively after his stint in Europe, his fitness, speed and stick skills looked better than ever and he's still one of if not the toughest player in the league.
Really happy with this one. Solid, dependable, tough. We know what we are getting and with Batch (assuming he's also back) that's a consistent third d-pairing.
Big Lou is fiercely loyal to the Devils. He loves this place. We love him. An excellent partnership with Batchy. Our Silent Assassin is still as mean and solid a blue liner as he was when he joined us 6 years ago.
When people were suggesting he might retire I was a bit confused, and then shocked to find out he was 35.
But you'd have never known it from the way he played last season. As has already been said, arguably his best season for us. Solid. Reliable. And still the toughest guy in the league.
Great to see him back for another season.
