Confirmed with Link: Moss re-signed (1 yr, $800k)

[Jormungandr]

I wish there was some way Maloney and Tippett can read this thread.

Everybody needs to chill a little. My guess is that Samuelsson isn't quite ready to play so Moss was signed as a 3rd line place holder. Somewhere mid-season I would hope that Samuelsson gets called up and Moss gets called upstairs.

I heard this news on 620AM just when I entered my car on my way home from work.



Seriously, Maloney couldn't resign our leading goal scorer when he was willing to take a discount and we resign the ******* piece of driftwood Dave Moss. "But, but, he has a good CF%!" - at least that's what the FFH guys would say.

****. ****. ****.

This, this, this!

Personally I blame Switzerland.

$800,000 too much.....Domi or Samuelsson $894,167. Maybe this was a total cost saving move.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Is there any chance they waive him after training camp?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

None, he's a Dave Tippett type player.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Remember when Tippett talks about the things he looks for in a player, apparently those things don't include "goal scoring" or "playmaker"

this is just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about Szwarz? He is fast and hustles, something Moss can't or won't do.

Have to quote Harry Lime here:



"In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

McMillan and Szwarz could have easily filled in for Moss's defensive minutes while providing a hell of a lot more speed/energy. You know, the things that Maloney said he wanted to go after this offseason.

People are getting way too upset about this.

After the effort he gave us last year, we're not gettin' upset enough.

Considering that lack of overall effort/heart was a big problem with this team last season (especially down the stretch) and Moss certainly wore those shoes along with his center (whom we bought out), we absolutely have every right to be livid. Moss certainly also isn't going to improve our goal scoring either.

I don't disagree that he didn't give enough effort, but its only a 1 yr, 800K bottom six signing. Maloney still has a couple months until the start of the regular season. With his impressive track record as our GM, I believe we should be patient and see what else he has up his sleeves.

Tippett brought up idea of bringing back Moss yesterday to Maloney. After Swiss reports, Maloney reached out to Moss camp.

800K or not, that certainly would've been better spent resigning our leading goal scorer over the past 3 seasons, who by all accounts was willing to take a pretty good discount.

It's a waste of money and roster spot.

Wow, that is exactly how I would have imagined the idea of bringing back this useless POS would begin. DT wanted to bring Moss back and GMDM fell for it. What in the world are they thinking?

DT just cannot handle having youth in his line-up. It is just mind blowing.

Exactly! I wasn't upset when we let Vrbata walk because I thought it was the start of the changing of the guard, but now signing Moss makes me almost ill. We have enough bottom six as it is.

Yup, and ditching Schlemko, Klinkhammer, and Chipchura on top of Moss, could have given us more than enough soare scratch to do it.

 

[Desert Ice 11]

LoL who ruined it yesterday by saying we dodged a bullet when the news came out about Switzerland?

Exactly - take a valium people, or whatever you gotta do, but relax just a little bit.
