Trebreh Posted Monday at 04:29 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:29 PM I think he’s just for depth, kinda like when we signed Matt Irwin last summer. I don’t think he will play a lot of games for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureQuickness Posted Monday at 04:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:30 PM At 1.2 mill, he can't be that bad. Cole was terrible in the playoffs, so maybe this will skew my optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Wellwood Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:32 PM 7 minutes ago, -AJ- said: omg is that real It's Cole's 4th consecutive 1 year contract, with his 4th different team. The cap hits have been: 2.9 3 3 3.1 Remarkably consistent for a guy who couldn't have gotten a 4x3 contract from 1 team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:32 PM That's fine for some depth, hopefully cheap. Rather make moves then overpay like the majority of signings today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted Monday at 04:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:34 PM 4 minutes ago, Provost said: Big and not physical. I don’t know that he is better than Juulsen. Cheap extra depth but we definitely need someone to play higher in the lineup. Yeah he's pretty much a small upgrade on Juulsen I would say. At least that was the case when he was younger and he in his prime... Now I would think they're neck and neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he was part of their “main” PK’er is like saying Juulsen was part of our main PK’ers. He was in-and-out of the lineup, and was a prime candidate of a buyout. This isn’t the same Forbort that was with the Kings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big stat to look at here is games played in the NHL I'll take a defenceman who can play defence over one who may add more offense but is a liability in his own zone. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of big names off the board already There's nobody left on the board that brings to the table what Z did. I think we have to resign ourselves to the defense being worse than last season. How much worse, depends on who they ultimately decide is worthy of that #4 slot.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
