R3aL Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Well everyone worrying about losing a big nasty blue line doesn’t have to worry anymore but worries about how fast / mobile our back end is outside of Hughes and hronek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:14 PM Will wait to see how he fits in the coaches system. Likely a better option than Julssen, but I'm not certain it's a big upgrade for the extra money. May also limit a last-minute forward addition. In any event, despite losing big Z, we have a darn big defensive lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2M for this guy is a bit of an overpayment. Leafs got Hakanpaa for 1.5Mx2 who's also a big RD defenseman. Is Desharnais 500k better? 32 years old vs 28 year old in Desharnais who only has 2 years of NHL under his belt, much higher upside. not to mention the extra 3” and I’ve heard 3” is a HUGE difference… Edited Monday at 09:16 PM by dippitybop 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted Monday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:16 PM Just now, -AJ- said: Yeah, we did what we could. I feel like Desharnais is more of a $1M player, but maybe I'm underrating him. Maybe him being a RD increases his value. He has only played 1 full year and was a part of a Finals run during that year. He is a late bloomer. He talked with Foote and both felt he had another gear. If he does take another step he could become a 4/5 D. Our Joshua find on D potentially. 2 year gamble. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the needs between each team? It’s not always same for same for each team. It’s a need. Sometimes one team need’s are bottom 4 and other team’s need a potential top 4. Either way. It’s about fit, function and availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got thrown the same shit last season for being level headed into FA and we had our best season in over a decade. Still not concerned despite the whining and shit throwing today. This is a well balanced lineup and man are Heinen and DeBrusk ever a pain in the dick to play against. Ask Höglander about Forborts battles too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted Monday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:18 PM I know this is probably not happening, but imagine still signing Zadorov so we've have Myers, Zadorov, and this guy? "How big do you want your defensemen?" "Yes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, this is July 1st. Pay the premium or get left scrambling for even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted Monday at 09:21 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:21 PM Oh good! We need size and I hated him in Edmonton because he was a guy I felt was on the watch/ready to "intervene". Now he's on our side so woo. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another solid signing. Given the price of rhd today it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
