What year is it?

 

[ZzZz]

There's no way that he can be a worse skater than MDZ... right?

Skating doesn't matter much if the better skater looks like some one playing NHL 19 with a battery pack that keeps falling out of their controller

honestly some of the games of vegas he looked half decent

It's a little strange, but they need a veteran presence on that blueline in Anaheim AND San Diego and those types of players won't 2-way. I likMDZe this move a lot more than the Del Zotto signing. Del Zotto is a cancer. Even if Sbisa is not very good and is more of a 7/8/9, Sbisa actually has leadership qualities and can steer those young kids in a better direction.

MDZ has actually played really well so far to start the season

I'm not talking about his level of play. I'm talking about how he influences younger players and the example he sets.

Well the Ducks had him around last year while the GM was on the bench, and brought him back despite having a very young roster. I'm not suggesting there weren't such issues in the past but it's possible he's done some growing up over the years.

That was the Nate Schmidt effect. Schmidt props up every partner he has. After his injury Sbisa spent most of his time with Miller/Merrill/Hunt on the 3rd pair and was a total trainwreck.

He was actually looking good for the Vegas knights during their playoff run right up until the last 3 games against the Caps?

 

[illpucks]

He was really bad on Vancouver.

I think there's too many Luca Sbisa's in the NHL, still. 500-1000 career game players, who really never been,were NHL level players to begin with,but rather out of necessity, these players keep playing and staying in the NHL, even if there are, were much better players, younger player who could (of been) play(ing) in the NHL instead.

No ill will towards Luca Sbisa but there are tons of better players what Luca Sbisa.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Wait, people do know he's expected to play in SD and not Anaheim right? Some of you posters are out to lunch and uninformed.

If there are many of those types of players in the NHL, they actually are NHL level players. Only low NHL level, but still NHL level players, as there aren't players out there, who actually do better. Sbisa and his company aren't exciting players, as they are relatively weak players. But there will always be a worst tier of players in the NHL and some posters like you will call them not NHL level players.

No chance a player of this magnitude makes in through waivers.

 

[Deen]

Claimed by Winnipeg.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sorry Ducks. Better trade for Hagg now.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Luca Sbisa, Anaheim Ducks.
October 22, 2019 to October 23, 2019. I wonder if they can at least get a refund on his flight reservation.

Nailed it.

Bob Murray: watch this... I’m gonna make the dumbest move this month.
