Bench Holden; play Pionk

22 in July. 6'0, 190lbs. Seems to be somewhat offensive minded. 33 points, 8 goals this year in 42 games. 82 shots on goal. +24 (boo, +/-).

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Aw hell yeah

 

[Zil]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll be so ****ing happy if this is true.

 

[Fugazy]

Excellent news

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

He's probably our best D prospect if we really do sign him lol.

[Amazing Kreiderman]

**** YES!!! I love this signing. Right-handed defenseman.

 

[Zil]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Confirmed now, love this signing.

Fantastic news...Gorts doing good work. Is the end finally near for Staal and Girardi this off-season? A lot of competition on D in next year's camp.

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

I've never heard of the kid but judging from you guys it's a big deal

 

[Holocene]

These two recent signings definitely make me feel better about Gorton's plan. Some were worried he thought the defense was good but it looks like he knows the defense sucks. Really though you'd have to be blind or AV to think our defense was any good.

 

[Machinehead]

AV has already benched him

 

[17futurecap]

Damn, were the Rangers ever mentioned on him?

 

[rangers1314]

yeah but does he bring "good, honest effort"?

I'm not sure this is evidence of that he thinks the defense sucks. He very well may, but these are two signings he should make even if he thinks the defense is great.

 

[Zil]

Awesome job Gorts! Now get to work on Tyler Sheehy.

 

[Fugazy]

That rhetoric is all that matters these days.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

A nice list of new acquisitions:

Bereglazov
Plionk
Pedrie
Lettieri
Tkachyov (training camp invite)

 

[Ghost of jas]

So GMJG has added Pedrie, Beer Glass, possibly Simek, now Pionk and is reportedly in on Borgmann...that is some fine work in rebuilding this D.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Rumours were Chicago and another team. Apparently we were the other team

I'm just trying to be optimistic here 31! I need to believe we're not gonna start next season with the 3 mouseketeers.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Any indication if he's staying in college another year or is he finished?
