Confirmed with Link: Sens sign Justin Falk. 1 year, 2 way

[Sensators]

Unbelievable savings for leaving out the u. Melnyk will be pleased - saves on stitching too.

 

[saskriders]

This is one step away from signing Erik Karlsson. No, not that Erik Karlsson - THAT Erik Karlsson.

Melnyk will be able to talk about how good our defence will be with Falk and Karlsson all while having a cap floor defence.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

So we replace a plug with a plug on D?

 

[dumbdick]

Melnyk will probably have to open up a lemonade stand on the concourse and sell his car to pay for this. Then I bet he'll take out a loan if anyone will lend him anymore money! Wait....What thread is this again? Who cares? Did I mention stone isnt going to re-sign?! Rabble rabble rabble!

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Says a lot about the state of the fanbase when people will criticize a depth signing like this. The old "plan the parade" takes were less predictable.

Says a lot about the franchise that these jokes are so easy to make.

 

[armani]

Falk off.

 

[God Says No]

blech

 

[Samboni]

Hopefully the guy shows up with something to prove. Money jokes aside, he’s coming in pretty cheap and for one year, so low risk for a stop gap.

What does this say about Andreas Englund? Assuming he's not injured, sounds like he's not in the long term plans for the sens

I would assume that you are correct.

 

[dumbdick]

What do you think the plan is for him? Purely injury stop gap? Maybe a shot across the bow to the current d corps?

or the short term plans apparently , unless its in Belleville.

I find he's too slow.. not really good at any one aspect; likely has a great attitude and works hard.

Kind of a bust, even though he was a 2nd rounder in a weak draft, but the scouting staff hyped him as an overlooked first rounder. Shame...

he kinda looked like he might have some potential early on with his roles while still in Sweden, but that hasn't materialized .. not really a new NHL Dman.. I think he just isn't mobile enough to be a defensive shut down guy either... He may surprise us at some point.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Burdoerfer is getting called up as well. Have we actually heard what the plan is for Falk?

 

[ProductofCanada]

Melnyk cant afford the extra "U" on the jersey for the real Justin Faulk so he decided to go with the next best thing

 

[Ouroboros]

He's reporting to Ottawa and could play tomorrow.

No, I think they think they got the right guy.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Really? Cool.

 

[Yak]

Get the Falk Out of Here PD & EM, Couldn't even sign a decent hack for Belleville.

 

[NyQuil]

Lol, Mrs_NyQuil verbally told me the news and I was like WTF?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Really? Cool.

It is?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Even google mocking us

 

[Tuna99]

I guess this means Andreas England isn’t developing as we thought. What about Seilooff?

 

[DJB]

My guess is Boro is out with another "personal matter"

Edit : broken hand apparently
