David Legwand

[King EK65]

Nice deal, I like it.

 

[McManked]

Steal.

Great deal.

MacArthuresque signing.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

No complaints.

 

[Super Cake]

-9 in 21 games with Detroit. Sounds like a capable Spezza replacement.

Some Wings fans are saying he was not used properly on their team.

+/- is probably the most relevant statistic in all of sports.

 

[Ishdul]

Legwand's a good player and that's a cheap price for him. Like it.

 

[DJB]

Defeats the purpose of the tank though.

 

[BondraTime]

Irrelevant?

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

+/- is probably the most relevant statistic in all of sports.

Pulling +/- on David Legwand who has been extremely solid defensively forever is hilarious.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Underwhelming addition (still good player though, I just wanted more of an impact player) but the contract is very, very reasonnable

 

[Super Cake]

Defeats the purpose of the tank though.

Murray does not want to tank whether you like it or not. Intentionally tanking is the worst thing a team can do imo.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Woot.Probably the best free agent signing we have had for a while. Great contract, duration is just right, price is terrific.

Won't be quite as good as MacArthur but will be right up there as a 40-50 point 2nd/3rd line C tweener.

 

[DJB]

Like him for trade bait though at the deadline.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

He fits the "hard working, responsible" type that Murray is using nowadays, so that's good. He'll fit right in with the pesky.

I like adding a veteran given it will allow us to ease some of the young guys into more responsible roles. I remember when this guy was drafted, never lived up to his billing but a decent player who knows his role. Was extremely fast back in the day, not so sure about now.

It might be an underwhelming addition, but it does add another veteran to the team. Which is important when your whole team is practically full of youngsters.

Its a good deal imo.

 

[Bazel5]

This is an great deal considering the $$ and term. Detroit gave up a 3rd, Jarnkrok and Eaves for him only months back (in a desperate situation though)

 

[Marty Straka]

I like it! Definitely didn't think he would sign for less then 4mil.

 

[BankStreetParade]

So now that Legwand is signed do we see those deals go down?

 

[EastCoastSensFan]

good there is no point in tanking anyway.......... the odds are being lowered again for the 30th place team this year and then in 2016 the top 3 draft spots are all be auctioned off.

also legwand is not going to be a difference maker as far as tanking or not........ if this team was bottom 5 before this... it still is.

 

[nater97]

I like this. Much better than sending assets to Philly for Vinny. Legwand is the better player, and likely cheaper, and we save assets.

Welcome to Ottawa!

 

[Deku]

Very nice deal. Welcome to the team David

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Defeats the purpose of the tank though.

**** tanking

That's for loser franchises like Edmonton

 

[Tkachuk27]

I like it 51 points last season brings leadership and grit



Only question I have is this Murray's plan B cause the trade didn't work out

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Responsible low risk signing by murray. Dont know much about legwand other then looking at his stats. Kinda wish he was more of a goal scorer but meh.
