This explains why we passed on Jones.

 

[2 Weekes Notice]

Excellent, the groundwork has been laid for our Kristers Gudlevskis-Drew Olson-Reto Suri core. The only question now is HOW MANY consecutive Cups?

 

[Coopers Gum]

This explains why we passed on Jones.

EDIT: I wonder how a trade like this goes...

JK: So, how about a 7th round pick next year?
SFY: How about future considerations?
JK: Done.

Per Erik, again

Regarding Drew Olson, #tblightning plan to sign him to a PTO, invite him to prospect camp then rookie tournament in Sept. and try him at Fwd

Interesting.

But Olson's not a right hand shot...

Never heard of a player switching his handedness this late into his development. Should be an interesting experiment

It also said "try him as a forward" you ding dong.

You're not on your game tonight, amigo.

Considering it's still the afternoon, I guess I'm not.

I like to imagine thats how this trade went down haha.

 

[Maelmoor]

He seems to be a waste of space..

 

[Bolto]

Give him an A

 

[chasespace]

He might be a Lundin type of player? Good defensively and mobile, not flashy but gets it all done. If we're getting him for nothing there's no point in not seeing if we got something.

Will they let me on the ice if I give them that name at Development Camp?

Just tell them 'Raphael'.

Ouch. That's rough.

I'm sure they already have names, but you can try and change them if you want.
