Took a moment to register what was happening with the thread title.

Good news. Did not expect this to happen this soon given they hold his rights for another 3 years.

 

[Gstank]

Not the Petey we were expecting to sign but the Petey that we wanted to sign. Good for him

Yeah, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the Tweet. Still good news, of course, but I tried to be as clear as possible with the thread title.

Wow Allvin found an infinite ELC loophole in the CBA, nice work

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

If he stays in Europe next season does the contract toll? If so, it's worth doing.

Acquire Marcus Pettersson and bring Lane Pederson back cowards

[ziploc]

If we cant be the best team, at least we can be the most confusing team.

Is there a precedent for two players with the same name playing for the same team?

Greg Adams is the only one, I believe.

[M2Beezy]

The offseason priority was to sign Elias Pettersson so good start Alvin

Greg Adams and Greg Adams, literally for this team.

Greg Adams and Greg Adams, literally for this team.

How did the announcers handle this?

 

[Peter Griffin]

I was too young during the dual Greg Adams' time, what did they do with their names on the back of their jerseys? Just stick with Adams?

Greg C. Adams for one of them, I believe.

The shittier Adams (who was also the 'new' Adams despite being older) became 'Greg C. Adams'. IIRC the jerseys said GREG ADAMS and GREG C ADAMS.

It was only for 12 games and I can't find any uniform photos online, though.

Edit : both guys played in this stupid awful game so someone wanting to watch for a bit could figure it out. And then get angry about Otto kicking it in.

Gonna be a while. There really hasn't been a whole lot of highlights on D Petey. Enquiring minds need to know, dang it. So he's staying on the other side of the planet for the time being. Call me a dummy but I seriously would have suggested him coming over to the organization here. Then I remembered who the GM is...

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Allvin said he was confident a deal would get done.

 

[Jyrki21]

Shoulda just bumped the EP40 ELC thread from 2018.

Getting top 4 minutes in the SHL is whats best for his development. If he came over to Abby he would probably be 2nd/3rd pairing which is not what you want for a youn promising prospect

Yes, his contract can slide for one season as long as he plays anywhere outside of the NHL.

 

[VintageBure]

Thought this was EP40 at first ngl...

But still happy to see how this prospect is developing. He's got a lot of raw tools and is known to play with a physical Edge, has foot speed.

Hughes - Burroughs
OEL - Hroenik
Hirose- McWard
Wolanin - Briesbois
Pettersson

Send Myers to the moon.... Is there potential here?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Welcome EP2.
