Find someone who loves you like the Pittsburgh Penguins do bringing back guys who used to play for them.

 

[Andy99]

Why? The live FA site keeps crashing for me but I mean these cheap signings are why you have WBS players…we need to start forcing Sullivan to play young guys and stop with all the fourth line vet signings

 

[Jacob]

Not this bozo.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

WBS fodder?

 

[SomeDude]

WBS fodder?

Should be, but he and Sully are about to become best friends.

Meet your new whipping boy.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Our WBS guys are never going to play.

 

[Zbynek]

So no Johan Larsson? Would have preferred him

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Not a fan of this signing for this idiot, and it has zero to do with his on-ice play.

[Rave7215]

What is this team's fascination with signing bad/fringe veteran fourth liners instead of playing younger players in their system? Archibald sucks

 

[Darren McCord]

DOC and Zohorna are both one way deals this year. I hope he is just 13th - 14th forward depth.

Edmonton fans seem happy hes gone.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Boy our farm system must suck to a degree we aren't even aware of huh?

Watched him in the Oil's playoff run since he had the ex-Pen factor. *wet fart sounds*

 

[Icarium]

Could have been, we could have brought ZAR back.

 

[ncm7772]

This is sofa king.

 

[K Fleur]

I remember this guy being vaguely interesting 5 years ago.

Now not so much.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

So are we gonna be a forward short for Canada games

Good chance that so do most of our younger players.

 

[Terrapin]

Bwahahaha. Bring back Corey Connors and Riley Sheahan while we're at it

 

[Sorry]

Juh?

 

[Terrapin]

This team, specifically Sullivan, simply cannot get past his man love of undersized, soft, scrub players with no offensive skill whatsoever. When you're putting guys who are 5'9", 170lbs on your fourth line, you're simply coaching a different sport than what's being played.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I really have no words for wtf they are doing here.

Not a fan of Archibald (off ice), but I don't think you can describe the game he plays as soft. He's already the most physical bottom six player we have. Which is more of an indictment of the rest of our forward group, granted, but he's not "soft".

 

[dogthateats]

Potential higher risk of getting sick in the Penguins’ locker room? What could go wrong? These are healthy athletes, right? You don’t see guys who get 6 year contracts at the age of 35 bc they are so physically fit get freak health conditions like the strokes, the mumps, or MRSA

He's soft. Ok. He may not play soft, but due to his size, he is. Could have spent 700 more and got Deslauiers who's a legit 4th liner. But no, let's keep dicking with clowns like this, cause we've been so successful with them
