Good to hear!

Good guy, good signing.

Top-end AHL defender with a great attitude who can fill in admirably here when needed. Couldn't ask for a better partner for one of our young guys in Utica.

 

[biturbo19]

Love it. Seems like a great farmhand who can play a few games in the NHL if things get dire.

Good to hear!

Good . Hope he gets more of a shot next uear

 

[iceburg]

Excellent signing. Loved his energy during his call-up.

 

[alternate]

Good to hear. Thought he might try for greener pastures, great to have him back.

 

[tantalum]

Good signing though despite the try he is out of his depth in the NHL. But you need superb veteran AHL players to bring along young guys and Biega seems to be one of those guys.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Love it. I hope he gets a long look to make the NHL next yr

 

[Guardian452]

Good depth signing. Who else will Canucks add for Utica? I'm guessing O'Reilly and DeFazio. Not sure if Saguinetti will return or if he wants another shot at cracking an NHL lineup.

 

[MS]

This is the best news of the offseason so far.

 

[UticaHockey]

I could see Biega being named Captain of the Comets if O'Reilly isn't brought back but I'm still hoping that Cal is back again next season.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Bennings best move since Vrbata

 

[dwarf]

Glad he is back. We really need more defensive dmen.

 

[25Bieksa3]

Really happy we got Biega signed! Super solid guy.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

happy to have him back!

Agreed completely. Biega seems like a no-brainer if O'Reilly's not back. Although I share your sentiments; O'Reilly is a good pro to have around the kids, I'd like to see him back as well.

Way to go Alex:

 

[Barney Gumble]

Solid signing.

Great for Utica this past season.

 

[VanJack]

Solid signing.

Great for Utica this past season.

At the rate the 'Nucks are shedding d-men, he might make it next year on the big club as a depth player....not sure if this would be good news or bad news.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

I don't know, I really liked him when he was called up. I don't know if he's a career AHLer just yet. Obviously better than Sbisa in every way, except bank account balance.

He is best suited to play in Utica. Help the young guys out and could be the first call up. Glad they signed him.

 

[tc 23]

Good to have him back in Utica next year! Hope they can get something done for Sanguinetti too.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

That's alot of $$ for the AHL.
