Decent 4th liner I guess

 

[Sens72]

Not a good sign: Predators fans on twitter seem very happy he’s gone

 

[JungleBeat]

Dorian values character? Yikes.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Cheap contract for 3 years for sure

 

[Marty Straka]

Wasn’t this guy charged with domestic violence? What a random trade.

Wasn’t this guy charged with domestic violence? What a random trade.

That turned out to be a non issue.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Why are we trading assets for 4th liners and 6/7 D when there are a ton available at a cost of zero assets via free agency?

Dorion truly loves wasting assets.

Hale the Villains favourite word in the English language

 

[Micklebot]

Meh. 4th liner on a decent contract.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Are we planning on scoring any goals?

 

[OperationHotMother]

Isn't he the one with the domestic violence suspension?
I'm sure a lot of our favourite players aren't saints, but I'd rather that we had stayed away

[BondraTime]

Not sure why we needed another body for the 3rd/4th line, have a lot of kids to fill those roles

 

[Ser Grogu]

Eww. Why?

Clearly a non issue since Nashville re signed him for 3 years

 

[Micklebot]

Guys... Last year we suffered through signing Sabourin and watching him suit up for 35 games. This means we don't have to worry about something like that again.

I'm not a fan, but it could be worse.

Predators: Austin Watson girlfriend on arrest, mental health, addiction


"I think a lot of people were expecting us to part ways and not know what to do."
Guardino said in October 2018 that Watson did not commit domestic violenceagainst her.
"Austin Watson has never and would never hit or abuse me," Guardino said then. "My behavior and state of intoxication led to the police being involved that day."

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He's making 1.5 mil for the next three years.

Can we seriously not find a better way to allocate the little resources we have?

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Played two years under DJ in the OHL

 

[Joider]

I guess it takes away a spot for the kids so they have to earn it. But I'd prefer an actual top-6 calibre player to do that

 

[Deku]

DJ has coached him before in Windsor lol

Ex DJ player

 

[foggyvisor]

Found our Duclair replacement.
