UHM which Moore is this? Is this the good skating one from the Rags?

 

[Missionhockey]

I remember in his draft year a lot of us were hoping we'd pick him. Well, six years later we got our man.

UHM which Moore is this? Is this the good skating one from the Rags?

Yes, the good skater

 

[Zippy316]

I can't really complain.

Still young and cheap.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Don't really know to much about him, to be honest, but welcome and congratulations to him.

 

[Devils Trap]

We have 5 NHL Dmen - Greene/Gelinas/Merrill-Larsson/Severson

We needed 1 more

 

[blink]

Not sure how I feel about this.

Moore has travelled around the league to a few teams already

UHM which Moore is this? Is this the good skating one from the Rags?

Yeah the one they threw away in the Yandle deal. I actually don't mind this.

 

[ScottyK]

The term interests me...lot of term for a question mark still
... I assume we're close to moving a D soon

Sorry, Gelina is not NHL ready Maybe this guy can take his place

 

[Missionhockey]

Don't really know to much about him, to be honest, but welcome and congratulations to him.

Good skater, former 1st round pick, left handed shooting defenseman. Haven't watched him too closely but he was included in the Rick Nash trade from Columbus and I was a little surprised the Rangers gave up on him.

Think this will be one of the better signings of the day. #TSN

 

[Devilsfan992]

Yes, the good skater

I remember being impressed by him. Only 24 years old though. Kind of against the reason why we wanted another defenseman.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Love this pickup. He's gonna be great for us.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

not too bad. maybe this means one of the DMen are traded now?

 

[Chessarmy]

Love the deal, always been a fan of Moore - he's 24, can skate, can shoot, and plays solid in his own end.

Would have liked more of a veteran presence on the blueline, but Moore plays like one anyway. I'll take it.

 

[Billdo]

I actually really like this. Smooth skater, defensively proficient, and can move the puck and contribute offensively. This is really solid but spells the end probably for one of Gelinas or Merrill, I would think.

 

[Just Win]

He is only 24 and a good skater. Plus we needed another lefty on defense. Solid move.

 

[devilsblood]

So if the idea is d-men develop slowly im all in on a 24 yr old 6'3" 200 lb former 1st rnd pick at that price.

A lefty though. Squeeze on Merrill or Gelinas?

Maybe Vojtech Mozik? Would be a little odd though since he probably needs to be in the AHL.

Greene-Larsson
Moore-Severson
Gelinas-Merrill

Thanks for the information. It's good to have another left-shooting defenseman and good skating is definitely something this team needs more of, so this sounds like it could be a nice signing by Shero.

 

[Missionhockey]

Greene-Larsson
Moore-Severson
Gelinas-Merrill

I really doubt Moore plays ahead of Merrill.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

decent pickup. makes you wonder if another move is in motion
