Is Justin WIlliams Coming Back?

Justin Williams told us he was going out to grab a pack of smokes and maybe a lotto ticket and has yet to come back. Now granted he told us he was still considering a return and is only taking a break instead of retiring, but it still feels like we were all just abandoned by our dad. Speaking to the last question, would the Carolina Hurricanes need to add more offense if Williams comes back?

And there lies the priceless question. Would you rather have Justin Williams return or pick up a dynamic forward? That depends on the answer to this question; is the team good enough that more inspiration and leadership can help them play at the level we all know them to be at, or is the team actually missing that top six forward who can come in and tear it up every night on the ice?

For those of you counting, that is three questions in about two paragraphs. That’s because everything surrounding Justin William’s return is a question mark. The man is going to eat up whatever remaining salary there is under the cap, no question about it. But is it worth it, is it worth being hard pressed against the cap ceiling with little room for error in order to add dad back in?

Make that four questions. We may never know, but we do know that the deadline for him to sign and be playoff eligible is fast approaching.  Will he be on the roster by then or will he officially hang up the skates?
