oops spelling mistake! Sign not sing!

Edit: Thanks for correcting.

 

[benjiv1]

I like it, but I think it means a trade is coming.

 

[Uncle Eugene]

There's your Methot replacement.

Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

oops spelling mistake! Sign not sing!

I gotcha

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Don't understand this, we already have a log jam of LHD and we need to start playing our prospects and let them gain some experience.

Unless there is a trade coming.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Have to think Dorion has a trade in play. Perhaps a forward and a D for an upgrade at forward, but just a guess.

 

[Smash88]

Must be the end of Boro?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

I don't mind it. I knew they needed another vet. For 1M he can ride the pine until he's needed. It isn't like he needs a bunch of practice.

Bonuses will obviously keep him motivated.

I'd rather they sign a bunch of depth now than trade picks at the deadline for it.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

What if he's a Phaneuf replacement.....hmmmm

From what I remember, Oduya likes playing RHD.

Boucher might want him partnered with Chabot on the third pairing but didn't want Chabot with Wideman.

 

[Senscore]

Oh did we?

 

[SixthSens]

Guessing one of Boro or Wideman are gone soon.

 

[Uncle Eugene]

If that's the case I like this a lot. Ease in Chabot with a guy who's seen it all.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

.....ok

At this point, we can almost run 5 defensive pairings with all the blueliners we have.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Didn't see this one coming, I like this quite a bit and agree with others. It must mean another move is coming because now there is a massive logjam on D.

 

[Uncle Eugene]

.....ok

At this point, we can almost run 5 defensive pairings with all the blueliners we have.

4 3rd pairings and whoever Erik Karlsson is carrying.

 

[starling]

But why?
I want Eugene to be cheap again. Bring back the internal budget.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What if he's a Phaneuf replacement.....hmmmm

No.

No he is not.

 

[Blarginator]

I like it. It's a cheap low risk deal for a good vet. I think we can expect some growing pain with our young defensemen so a guy like Oduya is perfect to slot in there for some stability. Solid deal.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

4 3rd pairings and whoever Erik Karlsson is carrying.

Yep.

I mean I like the signing for the very cheap vet presence on the bottom pairing. It sure beats having both Boro and Wideman there, and he could make a great mentor for Chabot but....We still don't have much talent on D overall once you get past EK....

 

[starling]

Guys I think they brought Oduya to mentor Ceci.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

I love it. This signing will singlehandedly up our Puns/60.

 

[BondraTime]

Very nice cheap depth signing.

Have to think, as most have mentioned, a trade of a D is in the works.

Essentially books Harpur's ticket to Belleville, and unless a trade is made likely the same for Chabot.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I love it. This signing will singlehandedly up our Puns/60.

Oduya now?
