Must be to send DLR down.

Begin the size rants

I like you, Elliotte, but shortening Montreal to 'Mon' should earn you a kick in the throat regardless.

 

[Ezpz]

Are you ****ing kidding me? The one player in the entire ****ing league smaller than DD.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Perplexing to say the least. Never even heard of him.

 

[68*]

5ft7 153. Nice.

Perplexing to say the least. Never even heard of him.

Honestly, you've really never heard of him?

 

[Hannibal]

Smurfs are back in town!

 

[OpenIceHit]

A DD for the Icecaps.

 

[Gustave]

5ft7 153. Nice.

He's a breakaway machine. Problem is he doesn't score... He's as fast as about anyone in the league. He's a player, no doubt.

3rd liner, spot player against not so fast teams.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

153 lbs. Shouldn't access to NHL facilities should guarantee that you're at least 170lbs?

 

[sharks9]

He actually has solid advanced stats for a 4th liner

 

[Sterling Archer]

A DD for the Icecaps.

Not for now. if you claim him, you have to play him in the NHL. DLR is going down.

 

[shamrun]

153 pounds...Are those draft numbers or current?

 

[sharks9]

According to Flames fans he's fast, gets a lot of breakaways but never scores on them.

Something we'd really be missing out on without Prust!

Maybe he's another Johnny Hockey....

 

[Agalloch]

I prefer Byron to be a 14th forward than DLR. So good deal.

153 pounds...Are those draft numbers or current?

NHL.com don't use draft numbers.

Paul Byron C 26 $900,000

You guys are going to love Paul Byron. Just start him in the defensive zone, next thing you know he just robbed some 6'5" behemoth of the puck and now it's in the offensive zone.

Don't give him a hard time for missed breakaways - his skating is too quick for his own good and you'd need McDavid hands to process the game at that jet-burner speed.

I am beyond choked we lost him to waivers.

 

[hototogisu]

Sounds like the org really wants JDLR to start in Hamilton.

Byron is a good player. Lots of Flames fans were disappointed when he was waived. No issues with this to fill the hole created by Kassian's exit with some experience.
