Solid 4th line center, good deal...
Solid is pushing it. Lets say average.
One guy I wanted for our fourth line is Nic Dowd but capitals got him

I mean, he's on a contract that can be fully buried and his role here was primarily defensive, at which he was effective (as shown above).
The money and term is fine, but if you are already talking about burying him then why sign him in the first place?
It's also April 25th, they couldn't have waited a little bit into the offseason to make this move?
Would having Poehling in the AHL be a bad thing? I'm not a fan of Julien and I'd much rather have Bouchard handle our prospects.This.
Wouldn't even be surprised if Julien played him in front of either Kotkaniemi/Poehling, wouldn't even be surprised if one or both were sent to the AHL because of that.
You need some 13-14th forward I prefer a guy that is a fit with the organization then a other bottom player
Everyone remembers but Chaput isn't even with the organization anymore, so what's your point?

I'd be surprised if Weal wasn't back. Not sure what else MB would spend money on.What if it means Weal isn't coming back? Thompson or Weal?

The money and term is fine for Thompson, but I just don't know if they needed to bring him back. We'll see how it plays out.
I sure as hell hope that's not the opening day roster. I'm just so tired of treading water.
He was pretty bad last year. Marginally effective defensively but a complete black hole offensively which isn't really acceptable - especially given Thompson was actually playing 3C minutes and situations last season even if he was nominally the "4C" on the lineup chart.
Yes I really hope we sign some good UFAs (we have room for 1 to 4 of them). And, we'll see where Suzuki is at.
Weal made 1.75 mil last season...would you give him this amount or more?I prefer Weal as the 4th line centre, but I don't really mind this signing either. Would rather Thompson in the lineup than being forced to play guys like we did this year (Chaput and such).
This.
