Sarcasm?

Sarcasm?

 

[Chuck Downie]

This model says he'll play a lot of games at least

 

[flyersnorth]

I'm guessing this might be a clue that the Atkinson and Tippett injuries might drag on even longer?

Christ

Don't be a coward, Tri. Tag Him.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Except he's a LW, that's not a position of need. And he wasn't available, he's the 4LW for Carolina.
Sedlak probably means they want to keep Laczynski at RW, where they're thin with Atkinson and Tippett both out.
Provides an option to J Cates at 4C.

The usual suspects are saying silly things, this is an injury signing, they have three starting forwards who are injured.

He was available. He was waived.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Compare these guys to who Florida picks up. Mahura and Forsling were waiver claims. Balcers was a waiver claim by San Jose.

Possible, but Laczynski is going back to the Phantoms first.

Good forwards are definitely a position of need on a team icing Deslauriers and MacEwen and with the league's 2nd worst Corsi.

Martinook went on waivers on October 7th.

I'll put eyes on him before I make judgement but if he takes delo out of the lineup I like the move.
My favorite players are guys willing to punch you in the face not face punchers trying to play hockey

Too much skill, not enough heavy.

 

[Curufinwe]

That's what makes it so annoying that they passed on him - he is pretty heavy.

He also makes $1.8M and is 30 years old. And is injury prone.
148g 12-26 48 the last three seasons.

Basically a less physical, slightly more skilled version of Deslauriers at the same price.
Since he's a LW, what would be the point?

 

[Curufinwe]

Slightly.... hahahaha

Deslauriers and Martinook can both play either wing, by the way.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The point might be that you don't need to sign 4th line scrubs to four year deals with a modified NTC on the first day of FA.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

What would be the over/under on the amount of times Deslauriers is mentioned on this board per day?

Gotta be close to triple digits.

Has anyone argued it's a good signing? So you're talking to yourself?
You'd hate Martinook for the same reasons.

When did I say that anyone argued that it was?

I also never said that I wanted Martinook so you’re talking to yourself there yourself. He’s also not a goon that this organization fetishizes nor is he signed as long.

Martinook is signed for half as long and is twice as good.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I hope Sedlak’s nickname is “Moe.”

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I hope Sedlak’s nickname is “Moe.”

So it is written, so it shall be.

 

[tictactoe]

So it begins...

 

[Kelmitchell2]

They should have claimed Martinook instead. He's an actual good 4th liner.

Problem is chuckles can't take on that salary, that's to much for an actual 4th liner lol

 

[deadhead]

Martinook is signed for half as long and is twice as good.

I'd say marginally better is more accurate.
If he was twice as good, he'd never been waived in the first place, b/c someone would have claimed him!

Waivers are a terrible gauge of player value. For a wide variety of reasons, players can go unclaimed regardless of their quality. Unsure how you don't get that yet.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The Flyers. We take other teams useless garbage veterans willingly

 

[dats81]

We haven't seen him play yet. I'm gladly giving anyone the benefit of the doubt he can play, who manages to be on Colorados roster two weeks into the season.
