Is this like Steve Austin? More to the point, will they have made him faster?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

This is sick, too. Even the bonuses won’t screw us next year.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

They're going to do this to every player, aren't they? Give them credit, the Borg mostly just trolled those salivating northern fans with those contract negotiations.

 

[HisIceness]

Guess whose back, back back
Back again, gin, gin, gin
Willies back, back, back
Tell a friend, friend, friend

 

[Novacane]

Justin Williams is in Tom's box
And Justin Williams is coming back
Oh my goodne- Goodness Gracious
Of all the dramatic things
Of all the dramatic things I've ever seen
Justin Williams standing right in Tom Dundon's box announcing he is back
Justin Williams is a Carolina Hurricane

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Roster-wise we now have two (2) right shot forwards.

Excellent job, Borg. Even if it's just as a bench cheerleader, league minimum is well worth it for Willy.

f***ing a he did

Let's go boys

O My Captain My Captain!!
Welcome back JW!!

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I’m glad he’s back, because if last year was any indication, he’s still a good player. But I gotta wonder who sits now.

I mean, Wallmark or Foegle are the two obvious choices, or they would have been, if they weren’t the major source of our offense for the past two weeks or so.

A guy who scored 23 goals and had 53 points last year will be more than a "bench cheerleader"

Or nobody sits, and Williams is there as an injury replacement in case Haula wants a few days off to refill his oil can. League minimum allows that arrangement.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

At this point, I'm just going to post this dog every time he signs a deal with us.

I agree with you. I do think, however, that he'll need more than a little re-adjustment to game speed.

 

[HisIceness]

The league is better with Willie in it.

I keep seeing this (so I’m not calling you out specifically but you’re the one who said it first in this thread), but it’s more “obvious” to sit Foegele or Wallmark than McGinn?

To me, McGinn is the guy that sits. Foegele's evolved into a valuable player this year who call fill in the top-6 in a pinch. Wallmark is having a sneaky-great season and playing like a 3rd-liner in a 4th-line slot. I see McGinn as essentially offseason trade-fodder for a mid-round pick (but valuable this year in a depth role, no need to trade him at the deadline or anything).

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I’m just glad we know he’s back for sure. This willy or won’t he stuff was getting old.

 

[zman77]

Justin is capable of playing in different roles. He's a Winner!!
He's the type of player when you look across the room, you know he's giving 110% every shift.
That tough-positive attitude is infectious in the dressing room for one and all, especially in the tough games in the POs.

Gotta be Brock. Which sucks for the guy who scored the game 7 OT winner but the guys on the roster knew this was a possibility.
