This is a shocking signing for the Mavericks as they get a guy in Amesbury who has no problem dropping the gloves and putting on a show for the fans. The 33-year-old is not going to be an everyday player for the Mavericks, and when in the lineup, he will be a fourth-liner who will see only a handful of shifts a game. The signing of Amesbury also gives the Mavericks some physicality and someone who won’t be afraid to drop the gloves, which is a role that they haven’t filled yet this off-season.
