[Steve Yzerlland]

The best signing of the day.

 

[NickH8]

If he can score 15 that's great. Doubt he takes Raymond or Perron's top 6 spots. If he busts we didn't pay too much.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Bottom six scoring depth, but hopefully this is scoring depth that can actually score goals.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

4.5M for 40 goals between Sprong and Kubalik? Not too bad

 

[Ezekial]

Very happy with this signing, actually something to be happy about for next season.

 

[Henkka]

His goal-scoring per ice-time is very good. Better than Matthews and MacKinnon.

Small role player but, very good MONEYBALL hire.

I wonder if he could ever get a bigger ice-time, how would the scoring follow?

But…is his Goals per 60 as generational as AA’s in 2018???

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Great signing

 

[Bench]

Finally, a deal most of us will enjoy. Younger guy, 20 goals, upside, and cheap.

What's not to like?

 

[WingsToPick4th]

He scored only 6 less goals than debrincat, is bigger and 1/4 of the cost, not bad!

 

[NickH8]

Good hands and shot.

 

[PullHard]

I'm really confused by this one because he does not strike me as an Yzerman type player in the slightest. I also don't expect him to replicate his production from last season in the slightest and have no clue where he fits in lineup-wise. But I support throwing little darts at the board this way in terms of no risk and if it works out even a little bit, it helps.

 

[Christien]

Really like this deal a lot. This is the ultimate "we got Debrincat at home" type player

 

[Peter Tosh]

Dutch GOAT?

 

[Holden Caufield]

He can provide some offensive punch and a cheap no risk deal. I’m here for this signing.
A guy you can throw a few more shifts to when you are losing and need offensive minded players to score your way back into the game. We didn’t have enough of those.

I have a strong feeling Lalonde will not be a fan of Sprong though. Don’t think he’ll see much ice in games we are tied/winning.

 

[Oddbob]

Yeah, no problem with this one.

I'm in the same boat, but the deal being one year makes it palatable.

If he can't replicate his production from the past season, he can go to the pressbox or on waivers and someone that can play a 200' game can take his spot.

Good hands and shot.

He looks realgud.

Kubalik - Larkin - Raymond
Rasmussen - Copp - Perron
Berggren - Kasper - Sprong
Kostin - Veleno - whoever?

 

[Killerjas]

Historic, one of my fellow dutchies joining my team!

Veel geluk Daniel, hoop dat je veel goals maakt! Groetjes uit Nederland

 

[norrisnick]

Dutch GOAT?

Not quite.

Fabbri would be the whoever.

I think Lalonde might swap Fabbri and Sprong, then move Sprong up when we need a goal.

Kubalik - Larkin - Raymond
Rasmussen - Copp - Perron
Berggren - Kasper - Fabbri
Kostin - Veleno - Sprong

That isn't a bad lineup. Lacks the firepower but could replicate Seattle with 4 solid lines if all goes well.

Daniel "Fedorov" Sprong
He wears #91 donchya know

It's often amazing to see how Dutch seems to be the link between German and English (which may very well be true linguistically anyway). Let's hope your compatriot will bring as much fun to the Red Wings as mine does!
