I'll take it.

 

[dats81]

Expected this. Good depth player.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

brings very little to nothing to the table. good for the Phantoms tho.

 

[Curufinwe]

brings very little to nothing to the table.

True, but he's still better than Rinaldo.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Fine with it.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

True, but he's still better than Rinaldo.

not going to debate that. but that isn't saying much

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i must be rembering wrong, but didnt the Flyers release VV. last year near the mid/end of the season ???

He brings nothing to the table here. What I saw made me puke. Stay in the AHL where you belong.

 

[chupanibre]

Eh. I have no opinion on this whatsoever. Don't really want to see him in the Flyers roster though.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hopefully he stays in the AHL for the whole season this time.

Defensive play. Something useful unlike Rinaldo brings. But as it has been said most bring more usefulness than Rinaldo. I would also have a lot of other guys over VV.


Good signing for the Phantoms though. He's a good AHL player. They are trying to rework that team with some good AHL guys.

 

[Curufinwe]

Having your AHL team make the playoffs is valuable. This year Ghost only got to play two AHL games because they didn't make it.

 

[Stizzle]

What AHL veteran defensemen are still available? Syvret? I'd be surprised if they don't sign one.

 

[Empty Net Goal]

Vandy and Adam Hall, who they need to resign, both are great on the PK.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't think they will bring Hall back.

 

[CutOnDime97]

I don't think they will bring Hall back.

Yeah with this signing, Bellmare, and Jones, I think Hall is gone.

 

[RJ8812*]

Hall, much like every other 4th liner we've had the past 20 years, is a dime-a-dozen player. Doubt he comes back

Duh. All 4th liners in the league are dime a dozen. If they weren't they wouldn't be 4th liners.

 

[Random Forest]

Duh. All 4th liners in the league are dime a dozen. If they weren't they wouldn't be 4th liners.

You can do much better than Adam Hall as far as fourth liners go.

 

[Striiker]

It was painful watching Hall since it seemed like every time the team had a breakaway it was him... and he could never finish one.

 

[flyershockey]

You can do much better than Adam Hall as far as fourth liners go.

Yup. The best Flyers team in the last ten years ran a fourth line of Lappy-Betts-Powe. They were all better all around players than Hall.
