[Lord Flashheart]

Mighty is faster than Flash, who would've thunk it...

 

[Ducks DVM]

Can't complain at that price.

Unless your name is Etem, anyway...

 

[Sojourn]

Happy with the price. That's as low risk as you can ask for.

Gotta get lucky sometime

 

[DarthYenik]

For that price, what's there to lose?

 

[rocsfeather]

Clap Bombs for DAYSSSS

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

For that price, what's there to lose?

A million bucks. Half a Penner.

****, better send an ambulance to 123 Etem Rulez Lane, Long Beach to check on Ducksgo

 

[DarthYenik]

A million bucks. Half a Penner.

Obviously, but that's nothing in the grand scheme.

Ducksgo might lose it over this one. Heatley makes 9 wingers who are eligible for waivers, very good chance Etem starts the year in Norfolk.

 

[TheJoeMan]

I think this is going to work out real well. Very similar to the Penner signing but I feel like Heatley is dying for a ring. I think he could turn into the best bang for the buck this year. Worst case he actually does suck and watches from the press box. No lose situation if you ask me. What's nice is we won't have to deal with trying to shoehorn in with Getzlaf and Perry like we did with Penner and won't have to feel guilty about scratching him like we did with Teemu. Really like this move.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Also, wonder what number Getzlaf's going to wear.

 

[rocsfeather]

Getzlaf wasn't even an All Star in 2014

 

[Paul4587]

****ing all star.

Good signing for the PP alone. Now we just need a respectable LH point shot

 

[Exit Dose]

For that price, what's there to lose?

Yep. I'm not a big fan of his, but that's not exactly causing us massive problems.

 

[Paul4587]

Getzlaf
Perry
Kesler
Cogliano
Silfverberg
Beleskey
Maroon
Palmieri
DSP
Jackman
Thompson
Heatley

Gives us 12 forwards who have to clear waivers.

Rakell/Karlsson/Kerdiles take up the 4th centre spot so that leaves 1 spot open for Etem still. It's not a given he starts in the AHL.

Edit: Unless we don't move a defenseman or Vatanen goes down that is.

 

[DaDucks*]

Oh..the line juggling next season

Good signing, helping out the pp will help to offset the youth we have trying to sneak into the lineup, and split our discussion board

 

[Unholy]

No risk at all. Played with a boring team in the Wild. Lets see what he can do with Getzlaf/Perry/Kesler.

 

[Mr Rogers]

No issues at all. I was actually hoping we could get him on the cheap.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Can't complain at that price.

Unless your name is Etem, anyway...

Well he'll just have to et'em'up to get on the roster.

What does us being boring have to do with anything? If you're slotting him into your 1st or 2nd line I feel sorry for you. He's still a good PP specialist but not much else. It's a great low risk signing and I like Heater, great guy in the locker room but I would just caution you to keep your expectations low. Congrats on signing him though, I wish him nothing but the best.
