Love it.

He’ll also need to get used to increased PIM and produce in spite of them. Probably jump from 20 to 40 very quickly. Cleary will become a tougher, bad man.

An heir inherits something, no matter the age.

Plus – it takes experience and wiliness to effectively play that area. Typically a vetted guy with some years in the league.

This is more like Gerald Ford taking over after Nixon resigned.
