Not Surprised.

 

[BonMorrison]

Hell yeah. Even if he doesn't pan out, we desperately need some young-ish forwards in the system.

More terrific asset management by Rob Blake

Let's sign some more 35 year olds pls

Good luck in Nashville, think you guys will love him. Pretty 'vanilla' north south player but a poor man's Arvidsson, guy is a shot volume merchant.

I like it depending on our next move. Camp down to 15 forwards (not counting Burke since he will be sent down). Do we waive a vets like Sherwood, Smith, McCarron, Jankowski or are we going to to send down waiver exempts like Tomasino, Evangelista, Del Gaizo.

Just a reminder that we lost Sammy Fagemo because we signed Trevor Lewis and didn't waive Anderson-Dolan. That might come back to bite us some day.

I'm not as high on Fagemo as some, but he still has a decent chance to become an NHLer if he can start asserting himself more and get more comfortable playing against the big boys. Good luck in Nashville.

For those interested, this cost Nashville $56,250, paid to Los Angeles and not counted against the cap.



Season total: $206,250
5 claims

Nice. I do hope it indicates the Preds are sending Jankowski and Gurianov down to Milwaukee on the final cut. That will be good for Milwaukee, and I'd rather take a look at Fagemo than Gurianov.

Or if they are keeping both Fagemo and Gurianov and sending down both of Jankowski and McCarron, even better.

Man I don’t like this asset management. I’m not the Kings fan I once was especially after the back to back playoffs rivalry but I still don’t like moves like this. Sure he might amount to nothing but there was better moves without risk to be done vs this.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I really like this pickup for Preds

23 yr old who has shown he can score in AHL and just is waiting for his NHL chance. He looked promising last year

Rob Blake asset management leaves a lot to be desired at this point and he thought he could slip him thru waivers.

 

[Breakers]

That 2020 World junior line with this guy and Hoglander were a force.

 

[Ghetty Green]

Good move by the preds. I can see him being a middle 6 depth scorer

 

[ehhteen]

Replacement for losing Tolvanen

 

[belair]

Future Cy Young winner looking at those AHL stats.

Does he not pass the puck at all?

He passes the puck a ton

off the opposing goalie's pads and the back wall

Basically just trying to take a mulligan on the Tolvanen thing?

Bringing in Lewis was sucha dumb move

That would be awesome.

That said, Tolvanen did develop a surprisingly effective 2-way game and physical presence. I never saw any of that coming from him. But it did happen. Alas, John Hynes also happened. I don't imagine Fagemo has rounded out his game the same way Tolvanen did. But ok, we'll take anything we can get at this point to help assuage those wounds.

 

[Lapa]

Great pickup by the Preds

 

[KingsHockey24]

f*** off Rob Blake.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I like this move for the Preds, Fagemo has a good clapper especially off the one time on the off wing, (good for PP2 as well).

Fagemo must work on his defensive game if he wants to stay on the Preds roster full time, Sam’s weakness at the NHL level is away from the puck especially in the defensive zone.

I like what the Preds have done, while being savvy with their cap space, I’d like to see Fagemo put his game together and stay as a full time NHLer as he has put the AHL development time in.

Can see why Kings fans are pissed as signing old veteran Trevor Lewis was unnecessary.

Brunette should roll with this forward group on opening night if everyone stays healthy.

Line 1 LW Forsberg C O’Reilly RW Nyquist
Line 2 LW Parssinen C Novak RW Evangelista
Line 3 LW Fagemo C Glass RW Tomasino
Line 4 LW Sherwood C Sissons RW Trenin

Scratched: RW Gurianov and LW Smith

Posted on the Preds board, too:

Kings fan here. His biggest issue is he never really established his identity as a forward. I always described him as a volume shooter, more than a sniper.

He's not heavy on the boards and has good skating. Not a speedster, but can keep up.

Has decent puck protection. Not much of a dangler. He shoots first, asks questions later.

I think he could top out as a middle-six forward. Many fans are upset they lost him for nothing. I wasn't as high on him compared to others, but still a decent pl

Not a Kings or Preds fan but I’ve had the opportunity to watch Fagemo play.

What I like about him is what you’ve described him as a shooter that puts emphasis onto his shot and doesn’t think twice to shoot as much as possible to make something happen.

If Fagemo had a little more accuracy to his shot he could be a sniper, but the accuracy isn’t there yet, not that it couldn’t be with more time around NHL players that pass at a higher level. Fagemo’s hand eye coordination is very impressive as well.

Glad the guy is getting a chance hopefully, Fagemo makes the most of this opportunity as this is his shot at a full time role in the National.

I guess you should put a volume shooter with a great net presence player. Just has to hit around the net for tap ins and rebounds. Hope he makes NHL fulltime.
