No. Matt Cooke is a dirtbag who shouldn't have a job. Kaleta is our energy player (for now). Kaleta makes the occasional questionable hit. Matt Cooke intentionally tries to injure other players. Big difference.
Why does Johnny Boychuk have a job with the Bruins? He intentionally injured Vanek. The NHL failed to suspend him. Kaleta would have taken Boychuk out, but was likely intstucted not to preventing escalating any future altercations. Knowing the Bruins love to injure players, I am not surprised.
Boychuk and Cooke are on the same boat of thugs who should not play in the NHL if they have the inent to injure.
Cooke, having a no movement clause, may have trouble finding preferable teams who want him. He may have to accept a buyout a year early.
