[RainingRats]

he's played well down there, time to see if he can help out at the NHL level

Not having high hopes for a guy that came in a trade where Logan Shaw was involved.

I think he's at almost a PPG pace in the AHL for us. We may have won that trade

Yeah 1 v 1 we probably won it but i still belive Sgarbossa is a career AHL'er. Good but not good enough!


And you have guys like Shane Harper who have scored 30 in that league so it does not tell you the whole story.

right, I'm not expecting much but he could have no points

^Another guy who came to the AHL as an undrafted overage junior at 20 and dominated his first year with 44 pts in 57 games. This is usually a good indicator of whether a kid has any chance at playing in the NHL as a top 9 player. You are still a longshot to make it, but way ahead of the curve when compared to someone like McCann who has been mediocre.

Hopefully they put Nick up to C the top line. Malgin needs to go to the wing with Sgarbossa on the 3rd.

 

[ShootIt]

Stinks McCann couldn't get it going down there, so far.

I've watched Springfield and like Sgarbossa a lot...to me, he's like Springfield's version of Barkov, definitely their best player and deserving of a call-up regardless. The way he skates, moves around the ice, carries the puck, all reminds me of Barkov and he's very smart, sees the ice well and plays at both ends.

Not saying he's going to come in and light up the NHL, just saying I like what I've seen from him, that he's better than Shaw by a longshot, and could surprise some people.

 

[Arthuros]

Fair warning, Sgarbossa was nothing special for the Ducks while we had him either.

 

[StrangeVision]

I hope he does well so we get Captain Sgarbossa memes.

We tend to overhype the signings of this new Panthers regime. Hopefully I am wrong, but not expecting much either.

Yes!

Fans of the team hoping a young prospect fails...

Go Panthers!

 

[Mogo]

Griffith-Sgarbossa-Jagr new 1rst line. Oh boy! Watch out for the Panthers there about to set the league on fire

Fans of the team hoping a young prospect fails...

Go Panthers!

Lol prospect.

This is a Bill Thomas dumpster dive.

Guaranteed you've never seen him play.

Actually, that's irrelevant. You don't need to watch someone play, all you need is a Hero chart.

Ahh calculators?

 

[RainingRats]

He played really well tonight. Obvious upgrade over Shaw

Anyone else becoming a Sgarbossa fan? I think he can be a very serviceable bottom 6 forward for us down the road.

Looks like he has some untapped offensive potential.

Hands down better than Logan Shaw.

I'm really impressed with his composure with the puck. Definite upgrade over Shaw
