Looks like this is for Syracuse
Not the first time Bolts have brought back high character players they love, like Luke Witkowski, to help out down in Syracuse.

I went to a Calder Cup Final game in Syracuse a long time ago. They played against the Griffins, the Red Wings farm team. A defenseman mishandled a puck passed to him on the point, no pressure or anything. Some guy screamed out, “WHO IS THAT GUY, HE SUCKS!”
Guess who it was. At the time, he was the 2nd best option out of college, next to Dekeyser, so I was a little high on him hopefully panning out. He never did.

I blame everybody making Sustr jokes about the Busch Gardens giraffe for this number 1 bull$#!+
It's like you summoned him and had the right reagents to succeed. Curses!

Does a small gust of wind still knock him off the puck? For being so big he sure was weak af along the boards and in battles. Noodle arms over here.

I've heard the photography is overwhelmingly beautiful in Syracuse this time of year Andrej
As much as we all like to bust on Sustr- he did have some moments on D. He actually is not bad on the PK as his wide reach allows him to disrupt passing lanes. On the PK, you are not skating a lot especially with the puck so his other below avg skills are hidden. That said, he only works as a 7th Dman in those PK situations and limited to playing vs other teams checking lines. He is unplayable in most other situations!

Save for Jameis Winston I have never seen any player in any sport ever get as many chances to make right. I'm convinced the coaching staff saw "BiG boii" and derped for 300 games and hoped he'd turn into Chara or something

"Hey we can use another Hedman, go ahead and sign him up." Except he never became another Hedman, not even close to becoming a Hedman. We kept giving him games hoping he would turn it around, he never did. Only time he should ever see the NHL ice, is if we get a massive injury bug or during preseason only. We tried that experiment before, and it failed massively.

I don't know if I would even go for that. He can have a shot next year if he dominates Syracuse for a full season. I'm sorry but after that experiment my trust is short coming. He couldn't crack the Ducks and didn't do well with their AHL club either and barely held his job in China apparently. Prove you're capable for a full season and get back to me. I'm not about to watch this guy shit his pants when someone like the mighty Evan Rodrigues comes right at him such as we saw in his last season with us.
I'm pretty sure he once said he doesn't focus on negatives and would not even watch the Keith goal from the SCF that held up as the game winner
Edit: I don't hate the guy either but it was what it was with this guy like 8 years ago and nothing changed

Likely nobody thought he’d “become another Hedman”. Sustr was never drafted for a reason.
