Never heard of the guy until now, but he had some impressive numbers last year.

I'm guessing he signs elsewhere.

No room.

Alright - who here is a shill for Craig Custance and/or The Athletic?

To address the OP, I think the fact that he's waiting to see what happens at the Expansion Draft leads means Vegas (i.e. a top 9 job) is what he's interested in. If they end up high on the hog up front, he may be forced to go elsewhere, but he probably (rightfully) sees them as the best route for guaranteed time. I know I would.

No room.

No room?

We have 9 signed forwards, then AA and Tatar as RFas. If Vegas takes a forward, we have 3-4 forward spots open, if Vegas doen't take a forward we still have 2-3 spots open. Lots of room. It's not like he's coming in and commanding 3 million, he'll get under a mil.

Unless he wants to be stuck in GR, sign elsewhere mate.

Would be nice to add a RIGHT HANDNESS to our corpses of only lefties.

Zeta, Left
Nielsen, Left
Nyquist, Left
Akader, Left
Tatar, Left
Larkin, Left
Mantha, Left
AA, Left
Helm, Left
Sheahan, Left
Bertuzzi, Left
Nosek, Left

All the god damn guys are Lefties, Except LUKE GLENDENING. I wonder if he would be the future 1st PP playmaker.

Time to go after righties (like Necas) heavily at the draft. Handnesses are not all in all, but you have to have some kind of mix of them. Goalies weak spots still are on the blocker side, and this hurts us especially on the power-play one-timers.

 

[Debrincat93]

saying there's no room is silly. there's plenty of room and he can do a lot of good for his career to develop in a program that has won now with 2 different coaches, has a strong foundation in GR to work with and, regardless of how people view this organization, it is still top notch. It would be a good get for both sides IMO.

 

[Mister Ed]

I think there is room and if not, playing for a couple of weeks with the reigning Calder Cup Champs would be a pretty good place to learn.

It is rumoured to be down to Philly, Detroit and Edmonton.

Why would he want to get stuck in GR longer than he should, get bashed by Blabhill and be told by Holland that he should like it?

Holland and Blabhill must go before we have a chance at these guys.

No room.

There's tons of room to add him, Just as much as Edmonton or Philly whom have less room then us.

 

[Marky9er]

Edmonton is his hometown? I think that would be his first choice. I'd like to sign him and trade some roster player like Nyquist. But I am not KH trying to squeeze in a 8 seed birth.

 

[Syckle78]

I pity the Foo coming into this mess of an organization.

Not after July 1st. Holland wants to make the playoffs.

Yeah, but the problem with playing for Edmonton is that you have to live in Edmonton.

 

[FireBird71]

Speed and a righty...I'll take it

 

[Marky9er]

Yeah, but the problem with playing for Edmonton is that you have to live in Edmonton.

Yeah I know but the same can be said about Detroit and there's no McDavid.

Lol if Holland doesn't address our horrendous D, The only place this team is heading for is the bottom 5 of the standings not the playoffs.

 

[Ezekial]

Not seeing where there isn't room for him, of our "ready" protects we have Svech as a top 9 option, two likely 4th liners, and Frk is a wild card plus we should have roster spots open. Need that elc, hope we get him.

 

[PelagicJoe]

I pity the Foo coming into this mess of an organization.

Lol. That says it all.

 

[golffuul]

LOL...I read that and just about spit all of my drink out. Easily the funniest comment to come out of Holland's mouth in some time.

Hey Guys? What's Foo with you.

 

[Henkka]

9 minutes of Spencer Foo.

Looks very creative guy. Expected a sniper.

As someone in another thread posted, Spencer Whoo?

From what I read, it sounds like Philly and then Edmonton are the two front runners, with Vegas and Detroit afterwards. My guess is Philly.

One thing I always hate about any guys highlight videos, is that it never gives you any indication what they really play like. All you see is goals, assists, etc. Would be nice if they put in some, away from the puck moments, mixed in, so you can get a sense of what kind of player they really are.

Would be THE most hyped player of this time of year like Jimmy Vesey last year, if there would not be this Expansion Draft going on...

...and it's good. I always hate those hype trains for College Free Agents. Now the guy gets the attention he deserves (kind of no attention) and start his career from the shadows. Not too much pressure.
