Confirmed with Link: Signing: Frazer McLaren

[Led Zappa]

I'll probably be annoyed if he plays an NHL game to play with Mike Brown. Otherwise, pretty whatever signing.

These guys go out and bang. Injuries are expected. I don't expect to see either playing much, much less at the same time. I'll be shocked if that happens.

I don't really approve of the deal but I can't imagine any scenario where he's gonna be used in the AHL or NHL. I mean, he was literally in and out of the Marlies line up. That's how close he is to not having a playing career.

A+ off-season grade

You have received an extra phone for contract negotiations

I don't care about the deal. It's not going to move the needle of the Sharks season at all.

Oh great. A perfect scapegoat.

For what?

Ah the prodigal son returns.

The Barracuda needed an enforcer

The Barracuda needed an enforcer

Didn't they have Haley for that? Or was he never utilized as an enforcer?

 

[hohosaregood]

For what?

To make the sheeple not realize it's all Thornton's fault.

 

[Bleedred]

Why couldn't we have just re-signed John Scott?

I almost wish he was signed as well.

If not just because you might be one of my favorite hfboards personalities of all time. More John Scott means more awesome posts from you.

I'm not a fan of John Scott the player, though The Great John Scott is a legit Hfboards HOF poster!

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Ahl signing. Sharks weren't going to get Scott on an Ahl deal.

Haley is a pretty solid AHLer.

I'm all for it if he makes it on the Sharks and keeps #4. That'll put my jersey back in fashion.

McLaren was wearing #68 and that's Karlsson's. #4 is Dillon.

Thanks for that tidbit! I appreciate the inside scoop on minutiae such as this. Jersey numbers, and season-to-season changes are always way too exciting for me.

One can only speculate what digits Karlsson will be wearing once things kick off. That is, unless someone already has seen him in town and knows more.

 

[LadyStanley]

Karlsson is wearing #68 this season.

McLaren will be wearing different #.

Karlsson is wearing #68 this season.

McLaren will be wearing different #.

If I recall correctly, was Dillion's preferred number not #4? Maybe we can get a trade started within the Sharks. As long as Marleau and Pavelski's numbers don't change, and McLaren gets his #4 back, all of my jerseys will be current!

...except for the black tops on the shoulders for McLaren and Pavelski, but who's counting that (except for the front office person who is in charge of growing revenue from such sales).

Yeah but from what I remember from last year there were players who had just as big of a role being an enforcer compared to him, mind you that the team was among those with the fewest fights and fewest penalties and all that. They referred to the team as "good boys" last year.
