That's ummm. hmm

 

[rangerssharks414]

Who? The organization soured on Hamilton that quickly?

 

[Helistin]

DW is working like an animal today. I thought he was supposed to be working on his tan.

 

[sr228]

Figured the Sharks org was done with Hamilton who's a RFA at the end of the year.

Got an expiring contract back.

 

[glasgow26]

Stollery is a 27-year-old career AHLer. Hamilton is young enough to still develop into a decent 4C. Bummer that DW gave up on him, but not a big loss I suppose.

 

[magic school bus]

Not saying Freddie is anything special, but I don't understand why they gave up on him so quickly.

 

[SactoShark]

I didn't think Freddie was ever going to make it in the NHL. He was not good in San Jose.

and a UFA.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Stollery had 30 points in the AHL last year as a dman....so there's that I guess.

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

I don't get it

Well not only that, the return is a player that is 4 years older than Freddie and has played lesser games than him at the NHL level. Whatever ..

/shrug

 

[weastern bias]

Freddie will not be an NHLer

DW's 4th move in 2 days that accomplishes nothing

 

[Juxtaposer]

Not even a blip on the radar. Freddie was a 4th liner at best.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I think this sets up a trade of either Irwin or Hannan so that Tennyson can be brought back up. Just my hunch on it.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Never understood people liking Hamilton. He was great in Juniors, but looked awful any time he was in the NHL.

Fine with this deal. No idea who we even got.

I think this is a contract dump, Stollery is a UFA. The Sharks appear to be dumping contracts, I don't know why.

That is actually pretty smart.

 

[Woo Hockey]

Freddie was one of Worcester's top players, sad to say he never got a real chance in the San Jose organization. Hope for the best on the new team.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Whatever

Maybe he has something on Thornton/Marleau and wants to set it up before asking again.

Maybe he has something on Thornton/Marleau and wants to set it up before asking again.

Or it's something simple like signing college FA and making it more enticing for them to sign here (less competition).

A Tye McGinn-like sample size

 

[theotis77]

Dumping a contract is fine, but do it for picks at least. Not for a pending UFA career AHLer which gets you nothing.
