Congrats on getting Balcers back for free.

Sharks aren't a contender at the moment so no problem giving him a chance

He looked good with the Sens at 21 y/o and produced decently well, 14 pts in 36 GP with only ~12 mins per game (32 pts per 82 games pace)

He did that with mainly Paajarvi, Tierney, Boedker (totally declined), Ryan (broken down and personal problems)

Canadian teams being picked apart of young cheap players.

EK9 replacement?

 

[one2gamble]

Nem will be so happy

 

[Reggae Shark]

This is great. Happy to get Rudy back. Nice work Douglas!

But wouldn't Nick Merkley have been a better decision to claim? Potential top 6er vs potential bottom 6er.

Nice!!

 

[Kcoyote3]

We just sent him to a development camp for two years.

Best move of the off-season. Considering the way the Sharks target players they had on their draft list a decade later, of course Balcers was on their list.

Why would that be? Balcers is only one month older and he’s posted better results at the AHL level plus played at the NHL.

It’s official we won the Karlsson trade

No one claimed Merkley so that probably says something we dont know

Congrats Sharks fans. He was my favourite “non-flashy” prospect on the Sens. He made the NHL 2 seasons ago and had about a 0,5ppg pace but sadly got injured last year and couldn’t find his groove in the NHL. He was dominant in the AHL though and was our best offensive contributor after Batherson.

I hope he proves himself and makes your squad! Take care of one of the best names in the NHL.

Merkley is exempt from waivers (for this and the next two seasons or 160 NHL games played).

Hey, he was our favorite first.

Nick Merkley LS, not Ryan. Former teammate of Chartier.

 

[Icelevel]

Good luck to your Rudy. Liked him here (realistic potential - 3rd line) and not happy to see him go back, but probably a better situation for him there.
Have a great season guys.

That’s awfully nice of you to give him a chance.



Still not the 3rd line center, but nice nonetheless.

 

[Kegsey]

Awesome.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Called it. Great. Senators couch didn't gave to him any chance to succeed.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I always liked Balcers. Awesome to get him back. I think he'll pay dividends for us.

 

[Nighthock]

Hell yeah
