Confirmed with Link: Heinen is Back!

[dogthateats]

Dahntahn Heinen lol

f*** Heinenen. PABST. BLUE. RIBBON.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I love Kapanen. Favourite Pens player ever!

If/when he bounces back, your admittance into the Kap fanclub will be questionable at best.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Like it a lot in isolation, in terms of the roster make-up I feel a little nonplussed.

He fits on all lines basically, outside of maybe Sid's.

You need guys outperforming their contracts to win the Cup. This is that.

I don't care if a prospect gets blocked by someone better. We're trying to win this year.

And for all the people feeling we're missing physicality... that's not why we lose in the playoffs.

That's ok, I'll take my chances

I mean, I don't particularly like it, but that's clearly what the front office thinks.

Or maybe that's just what they want us to think

 

[Lara Emily]

Yes, we do and we are now $1.4M over that cap. We need to make a trade which I don't mind as the forward group and defense still needs tweaking.

Cause of too many D

Forward depth with zero before this

They're hockey execs, not the Politburo. They can barely add.

 

[jmelm]

Does this mean we're also signing ERod to a 1 year x $1M deal?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Bring back a 2-way guy who can get you 35+ points, play both wings and costs 1 mil.

Then people still whine.

 

[Night Shift]

I bet he goes back to Buffalo

 

[Pengu]

If we could get Heinen for that WHY KEEP KAPANEN at 3.2????

 

[jmelm]

I bet he goes back to Buffalo

I don't think BUF wants him back. I can see them adding some veteran cap dumps like a Hornqvist or Bailey (if the sweeteners are significant enough).

They have been a team that I think could take a chance on any one of McGinn, Kapanen or Blueger for their bottom 6.

If we could get Heinen for that WHY KEEP KAPANEN at 3.2????

This man speaks the truth!!

Then again, also forces you to ask the question: why keep Kapanen at all?

 

[Victor Z]

Could be worse, coulda been ERod instead.

But we're still not truly safe until he actually signs somewhere else.

How exactly is that? The only forwards we lost are Erod and Bjorqvist. Unless I'm missing something.

Added Poehling, Archibald and Caggigulla(sp?).

So we gained 1.

 

[vodeni]

Is this the only ever signing with a unified praise from Our Board? $1m for just about the only guy who knows how to elevate the puck, not too shabby

 

[Gumbercules]

Having a guy like this in your pocket that can plug in just about anywhere and be successful is a good thing. As we all know, the team will be ravished by injuries by mid-October, so I like having the cheap depth.

Boyle

Boyle

I've actually seen Molinari throw out that they're considering bringing Boyle back as well.

Oh snap!

And Poehling is a center so again I'm just failing to see where we "lost depth" at forward.

Poehling best position is LW in the NHL.

 

[Night Shift]

Poehling best position is LW in the NHL.

He's still listed as a Center but I'm sure he can do both.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

Great signing, I like this guy a hell of a lot more than our other tweeners Kap and Zuck. He scored 1 less goal than the two of them combined last year, and now costs about 10% as much.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Very strange. I bet you he gets a new contract in January, they probably have a verbal agreement.
