Soderberg at Right Wing Spooner At Center??

[DominicT]

All I got is that Derek Sanderson is going to the Panthers and JS Giguere is going to the Blue Jackets. I think I got it?

EDIT: Matt Bartkowski to the Panthers as well!

Not even close LOL

There's a Bartkowsk in the puzzle but no Bartkowski and if there's a Panthers in there, it was totally a fluke

Well there is Panthed and Panthes (I'm pronouncing that spelling with a Boston accent), so I tried to take a hint.

The only other clues I get are Dover, Apples, and Dan, which with the help of Google, means you are going to the Dover Apple Harvest and 5k Race in Dover, NH with Dan, to discuss the Blue Jackets.

Dan's puzzles? I think that's the one thing I beat him on is puzzles. I think mine are classic

Like this one

Looks to me like the Bruins are trading for Carlson

IMO positioning is the coach's call. I'd rather play GM.

Is this a serious thing that we can figure out.

Because damn if I haven't spent the last twenty minutes trying to do so.

I will say this:

Agents obviously have a vested interest in what players sign for as it is their livelihood and they make an enormous amount of money from these deals. For example, Krejci's agent stands to make $1.5 million off of Krejci's new deal.

99% of the time players act on the agents advise and recommendations and rarely get involved in the negotiations until the very end.

Soderberg is an anomaly. He's of the breed that tells his agent "I want X and I want to play in Y. Just get it done" Y is Boston. X won't be an exorbitant amount.

That's what I love and also what frustrates the hell out of me about Dan's posts. My brain hurts by the time I'm through but he just lays it all out there for you. You know there is good hockey insight in every one of his posts...its just sometimes like trying to put together a puzzle.

my wife told me when she watched Pulp Fiction that if I was a movie this was it (not a complete compliment). I've had friends tell me without knowing that they could see me writing that movie.

What makes people think this? Do you have a link or something?

Well, I guess you could ask Darren Dreger. After all, he was the first to break the news that Soderberg was even coming over

 

[JOKER 192]

Just look back at his past. He has been a very loyal soldier taking less money to honour contracts back home. I hope he carries on that way.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to seeing how he does with a full season at centre.

[Nordiques1979]

Does he played at center this playoff or last year playoff? So if Julien put Soderberg at center can he put Spooner on the wing?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

When Dom posts something, that post IS the link. He is very clear when it's something that's happening, or its his own opinion.

In either case, he's someone worth paying attention to.

He negotiates like Carl

I don't get the joke

In that case heaven is black and gold and hell is blu blanc et rouge

I'm sure there will be some that are going to be surprised to find that out Andrew. If you remember the threads when Dreger announced he was coming over and Kirk then broke the news that he had signed a three year deal, I was keeping things up to date here with news I was getting (all of which I am sure you can testify actually ended up happening) but there were several Swedish posters that kept arguing it.

Carl definitely did things his way, and I have no doubt he will continue to do so.

This fits Carl to a t, not just because its Ol' Blue Eyes but.....

I thought you were like a week ahead of Dreger weren't you?

 

[DominicT]

I thought you were like a week ahead of Dreger weren't you?

Something like that. I remember there were like 50 people from here who tweeted @Dreger telling him I had that news a week ago. I had a good laugh about it though. Didn't really care.

Although I did put the tweet out there in Swedish. I guess Dreger didn't want to use Google translate LOL. But Pierre LeBrun noticed it

What a week that was. Carl flies in, next day isn't allowed to go outside due to Police shutdown.

So when is this going to happen?

And am I crazy in believing that this could be some extremely long contract?

I wouldn't mind 8 years x 2M with a full NMC

 

[Sangoku Galchenyuk]

Guys I'm curious, I don't know much a bout Soderberg but I just picked him in my fantasy draft. He doesnt cost much so thats a plus. But now I would like to know, will he still play on Bergy's line next year? And most of all how many points do you expect from him?

I don't at all remember him playing on Bergeron's line at all, and if he did, it can't have been more for 1-2 games (though someone with a better memory than I will recall if he did.) He was centering the third line from late January on last season, and that's where he'll slot on the depth chart behind Krejci and Bergeron.

As far as projections....no one's even sure who his linemates will be yet, so it's impossible to say. If I had to fetch a guess, I could see in the 45-50 pt range (18/30).
