Our new Petrell?

 

[Skm]

4th liner that can skate better than Brown? Not sure, maybe for OKC?

 

[Cerebral]

I love this signing. He's a huge guy who was drafted by the Islanders. He could be a depth guy for us with the potential to chip in some points.

 

[Archangel]

Who??????

 

[Arpeggio]

Ahem... gif please.

Pretty much.

 

[Tarus]

4th line/Call up signing, just depth.

 

[The Nuge]

Good depth signing

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Jesse Joenswho? I kid. But really though.

I don't know him. Are you sure this signing is for the NHL team and not OKC?

 

[misfit]

Somebody called this not long ago. I vaguely remember seeing him play for the Islanders last year, but definitely remember how much pre-draft hype he had during his draft-1 season.

 

[thadd]

Could he be our 4th line LW?

 

[Arpeggio]

I don't know him. Are you sure this signing is for the NHL team and not OKC?

I don't think he'd come here if it was for the AHL, he's probably going to fight it out with Eager for a spot.

Seems like he's put up some pretty good numbers in Europe, so there might be something there.

 

[PaPaDee]

Nice depth signing, and still young enough that he could conceivably develop further.

 

[misfit]

We were dangerously low on Finns. Nice signing.

He's a tweener but I'm guessing he signed with the expectation of competing for the fourth line.

 

[t0mf00lery]

I take it a lot of people on here don't watch the Islanders.

I take it a lot of people on here don't watch the Islanders.

Guilty.

Agreed, depth signing with upside.
