I wasn't expecting that; I was thinking he'd try his luck elsewhere given his lack of playing time down the stretch last season.

Somebody has to fill out the roster when we lose out on every free agent or potential aquisition.

Have no fear, Jarmo has a list of Euros to pull out of his hat

He had a good season and I thought was pretty effective in his lone playoff game. Glad to see this. Good 4th liner/depth.

You can never have an excess of players with 10+ letters in their last name.

Clearly the priority before the draft... :p

Meh whatever. Small cap hit and only one year. He’ll probably be the 13th forward again.


Side note - anyone else think Hedger’s an idiot? 2 “checking lines”? That’s not how you win in today’s NHL. You need four balanced lines who can score.

Good soldier for the CBJ, low cost. Can fill the fourth line role when needed, otherwise can be the 13/14 forward on the roster

Milano? Checking line?

My only regret is that we didn't use Hannikainen more.

Hedger is a buffoon and finds new ways to embarrass himself daily.

750k is actually less than I thought he would ask for.

Careful he might block you on here if you slander him

I'm not gonna get into line designation and roles, but that's a pretty random f***ing list.

All over the place when it comes to overall skill, type of players, and where they are or will be on the depth chart.
