I don't know about this.

Better than Sill and Adams. Great name and Samuelsson was never going to get of the Baby Pens with the way our backend is stacked.

 

[cassius]

Moar grinders! Rejoice

 

[mpp9]

At least we're talking to Arizona. Get Boedker next, JR.

 

[M0NTY26]

At least his last names cool...

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Ugh. Start with the fifth line, and work your way up?

 

[shureshot66]

Depressingly, that's more value than the Pens usually get out of a second-round pick.

What more can you expect for Samuelsson?

 

[Crafton]

Klinkhammer has a cool name. He also led the Coyotes in adjusted Corsi.

I'd by lying if i said i knew much about him, but his possession stats are really good, i'm all for getting some players with good possession stats.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Alright, so he's getting injured next game?

 

[Zero Pucks]

We gave up pretty much nothing.

 

[Sideline]

Moar grinders! Rejoice

He's an NHLer which is something we could use right now.

Why start trading your excess D with Samuelsson? You trade your ninth or 10th best defenseman, this is what you get.

 

[billybudd]

Sweet name. 6'3.

Anybody know anything else about this guy? If Hanzal's not on the ice in a Coyotes game, I change the channel.

 

[deakka]

Samuelsson were never gonna cracking the pens and was on waivers a few months ago. So even if klinkhammer are just a stop gap until we get bodies back, no loss for the pens.

Not saying the won or anything. Just that Samuelsson weren't gonna account for anything

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Samuelssons, unite!

 

[Waffle Fries]

I've always liked Klinkhammer

 

[Shrimper]

This is what I am hoping. More scoring presence in our depth rather than risking everything on one player. We can still get a top six.

We needed an NHL caliber 4th liner with some size. I think that was pretty common on the wishlist around here. I would have preferred moving a better D for one of LA's 4th liners, but whatever.

 

[ProgOg]

Good Corsi/size/name? I like.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Big body and not a total waste on offense... should push Adams and Sill out once everyone's healthy and we make the necessary trades.
