Orr Best Bang for the Buck

Peter J. Schwarts at Forbes.com lists the league's best fighters for the money, including the #1 bang for the buck Colton Orr...

"The best fighter for the money is Colton Orr of the New York Rangers. Orr fought 34 times during the past two seasons (the most in the Eastern Conference), winning 21 of them (tops in the NHL). His $525,000 salary last year was only $50,000 above the league minimum, 9 percent less than the average of other enforcers who have qualified for restricted free agency."

...i think every Ranger fan would say that Orr has become more than just a fighter this year. His skating and play-making ability have vastly improved from last year. With the way he's been playing he might even score 5 goals this season.

...but let's not kid ourselves, Orr is on this team to protect our better players and throw down when necessary.
