Disgusting.

 

[Saidin]

Eh

 

[Trinity]

Decent possession numbers in limited time. Two-way contract so he'll be Moose depth.

 

[Zippity]

Bush league..why don’t they just call up some Moose?

 

[Trinity]

Here's his scouting report: Owns pretty good size for the National Hockey League game, plus the physicality to match. Also produces decent offensive numbers at lower levels. Needs to avoid taking too many penalties at the highest level. Is somewhat limited in terms of natural ability, so his minutes have to be reduced.

 

[Daximus]

Moose signing, probably slots in behind Stanley and Schilling.

 

[Weezeric]

Good veteran for the moose on their very young blueline

 

[Zippity]

Moose signing, probably slots in behind Stanley and Schilling.

Who is the highest paid moose player? How much?

I'll be excited to see Stanley up with the Jets this season!

Unless Vesalainen returns to the Moose which is unlikely, I think it will be Stanley at $863,000

With the Beuleau signing I think Stanley will have to beat him out for a spot. But he is 100% getting games this year when injuries strike and if he does well enough may even earn himself a spot.

I meant with injuries, we will surely see him with the Jets.

 

[MardyBum]

Hopefully just some Moose depth.

 

[Rheged]

Remember when they signed Strait a couple years ago and people got upset but then he played the whole season in the AHL? That's this.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Stanley is on his ELC. His minor league salary is $70,000. He'd be among the lowest.

 

[Robinson2187]

Finally! A Mark Stuart replacement!

 

[jetsforever]

Exciting!

 

[WPGChief]

He sucked in the AHL too.

 

[Rheged]

He sucked in the AHL too.

I bet he was reeeeeeal good in the room though!

Who is the highest paid moose player? How much?

Moose players' AHL salaries who are on NHL contracts but not on ELCs:

Shaw - $350K
Bitetto - $350K
Griffith - $300K
Lipon - $275K
Schilling - $250K

 

[lomiller1]

Every team needs depth players in case of injury and I’d rather have depth D-men that PM isn’t tempted to use over younger like Niku.

 

[surixon]

Pure depth signing. He's likely 10th or 11th on the depth chart. They likely don't want to put too much pressure on some of the d prospects on the Moose next year. I don't blame them given Green essentially missed last year, Kovacevik and Gawnke are pro rookies and Stanley still has some developing to do.

 

[RustyCat]

Depth signing, will play for Moose. I remember reading that he was very well liked by teammates. I think that is the same guy, anyhow

 

[Daximus]

Stanley is on his ELC. His minor league salary is $70,000. He'd be among the lowest.

Right right thought he meant pro salary. The highest minors salaries are Bitetto and Shaw who both earn $350k.

Edit: someone beat me to it up above.
