f***, I wanted him back in Anaheim

Well it looks like Veleno will be slotted for GR, Same with Berggren after this signing. With Smith added that's pretty much our 13 forwards that Yzerman said we're going with.

I liked him in Anaheim. He hustles every shift, plays physical and was even better offensively than I expected when we first signed him. He'll fail to bury a lot of chances, but other than that a solid 4th liner and a good penalty killer. It remains to be seen how he bounces back after long term injury, but for near league minimum it's a good signing by Yzerman.

I had no idea he was still in the NHL.

 

[Henkka]

Seems to be one of the best PK guys.

That may be what ends up happening after training camp, but I wouldn't set anything in stone right now.

IMO, there's 4(3 + the 13th F)spots up for grabs, with Gagner having the inside edge on one, but I don't think its a guarantee right now.

I'm glad to see that Rowney will still have a job in the NHL next season.

 

[PullHard]

Woodward is going to look good during the parade next summer!

 

[FissionFire]

Solid depth move. Detroit badly needed centers. They are razor thin and even 1 injury would be stretching things.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Good for Rowney, glad to see him still land an NHL deal coming off the season ending knee injury.

Almost everyone thought the contract was odd when the Ducks signed him but I think the consensus would be that he was worth it. Especially for the year that the Deslauriers - Grant - Rowney line was utterly abused in terms of usage.

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

He was solid for the Pens in the playoffs that one year. He contributed. Played hard. Helped win a cup.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Good luck in Detroit just not in any games against the Ducks

 

[Peat]

Nice to see Rugged Carter Rowney's still got a job, solid depth contributor on his day.
