Probably better than addressing it via trade, which is what I was starting to wonder about. Not that Quincey is exciting, but the contract's fine.

Wonder where the rest of our cap space is going...

 

[Mnsportsfan22]

I'll go out on a whim here and say pognorik won't like this

 

[Engebretson]

Another LHD?

We planning on putting Brodin on his off-hand again?

Not at all. The **** we need another LHD for? Brodin gonna play right side?

 

[Bazeek]

Another LHD?

Oh is he? That's perplexing... especially if he was signed with the intention of playing him with Olofsson.

Quincey has played both sides

 

[Mnsportsfan22]

Maybe?
Suter dumba
Olofsson spurge
Quincey brodin
Idk just throwing things out here... I guess we just want depth for olofsson to?

Nah, if Quincey can play on the right it's almost certainly:

Suter - Spurgeon
Brodin - Dumba
Olofsson - Quincey

Agreed didn't know he played both sides

 

[TwiztedHeat]

What is the point of Quincey over Folin except to spend more money? Didn't want Leopold last year and now he signs Quincey this year? Makes no sense.

Quincey plays on his off side a lot of the time already. Brodin will be in the second pair left side, Quincey the 3rd pair right side.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Quincey moved to the right to play with Dekeyser if I remember correctly. That pair wasn't very good however.

No sense at all.

 

[W75]

Wanted an older and more expensive one just for fun or panicked when Folin and Postma slipped through fingers?

Wanted someone more experienced to play with Olofsson on the bottom pairing. I think it's pretty straightforward.

 

[BagHead]

Dang, I didn't know signing cheap 6th and 7th or 8th defensemen could result in so much rage. Be cool, guys, these are cheap depth signings. What were people expecting?

 

[Corvidae]

Bleh why, he's terrible.

 

[Jugitsu]

I've watched enough Jets' games past year to safely say that I'm extremely glad the Wild didn't go after Postma.

Losing Folin either isn't the end of the world. He clearly didn't want to stay in Minnesota, if what Russo say is true about the Wild not being able to get Folin to stay with the same price as Kings did.

Stupid moves continue.

 

[57special]

That's what we need. More veteran leadership. And more LHD.

 

[Al Lagoon]

Over 500 games of NHL experience, good size, reasonable bottom pair 7th guy deal.

Again, I really don't see why anyone would be upset with this.

Suter, Spurgeon, Brodin, Dumba, Olofsson, Reilly, Murphy, Quincey, and likely Prosser.

Good depth, and no big money outside the top 4.

Olofsson, Reilly, Murphy, and Quincey combined make about what Marco was making.

Depth is good. Short term is good. I have no complaints.

I don't see the problem either. All they need is a guy to play next to Olofsson and be fairly consistent on a cheap, short-term contract.
