Can someone explain to me the benefit of signing him so soon?
There is a tiny amount of benefit with contract sliding. Something like the signing bonuses don't slide?Can someone explain to me the benefit of signing him so soon?
Rakell probably is a really good third liner without Getzlaf lolThe way he plays was always pro style. Just too big, too aggressive for junior. Skating and size is NHL ready. I've no clue how skilled he really is. But I think the very worst case would be a 4th line forechecker/PK guy. Realisticly he will be a middle 6 player who drives hard to the net. But in the end of the day, noone knows how players progress. Rakell was suited as a 3rd liner back then.
This must be the thread-pocalypse, because there are so damn many zombie threads walking around right now.
It helps when certain posters go and bump the threads of any scrub who has been traded to send them a one sentence thank you.
Exactly. Not every player needs his own thread. And once one exists, it doesn’t need to be bumped every time the guy gets in the lineup or scores a goal.Or start threads of any scrub that don’t need to be started.
Yeah this is rather annoying.
To continue on the off topic, would it makes sense to edit the trade thread to a player discussion thread after the discussion involving the trade cools down a bit? It's just annoying to have a discussion on one player in two or more threads, when some of the discussions are already scattered in the roster or trade rumors thread.
Just my 0.02 euros.
I agree with this. Just like this thread should eventually become the player discussion thread for Max Jones. No need to create a separate thread for that.To continue on the off topic, would it makes sense to edit the trade thread to a player discussion thread after the discussion involving the trade cools down a bit?

Just curious what you guys have thought of him so far, I know hes been getting his chances.. But the boy has some size and skill. Reminds me of young Rick Nash... That's the kind of player I see him out to be. Thoughts?
