Coconuts Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Crabcakes said: If he makes the top 6 then that would be great. It just occurred to me that maybe Allvin is thinking that either Garland or Joshua (or both) moves up and Sprong might replace their scoring on the 3rd line. Joshua Miller Boeser DeBrusk Pettersson Garland Heinen Blueger Sprong Hoglander Suter Sherwood Podkolzin It means breaking up everybody's favorite 3rd line but are they really married to that? They shouldn't be, we've brought in enough solid additions this offseason that we can afford to bump Garland up imo Sprong would be insulated just fine on the third line given our forward options, fourth line too We can easily bump any of Heinen, Garland, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Sprong, Suter, and Joshua up at any given time We have four legit top six guys in Boeser, Miller, DeBrusk, and Pettersson as well as another guy who puts up top six production in Garland, lot of complimentary guys to work with Edited July 20 by Coconuts 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTueyCanucksFan Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I have to say that I am happy with the signing. At $975k it is hard to find anything to complain about cap-wise. If he can reach or surpass his point totals from the last two seasons, this becomes a bargain contract. If he can't, the contract can easily be moved or buried as is necessary. The huge bonus is that it still leaves us with some flexibility especially if we can find a take for Poolman's contact. All in all a great move by Allvin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki will be getting a long look at training camp as well… I think the Sprong signing only makes sense if they're trading Garland. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah every team needs that spare scorer that you can put in on any line. Hes essentially this years Josh Leivo. I don’t think this has any bearing on trades.

I get that, I'd just prefer not to stack one line, we have four legit top six guys and a guy who can put up that sort of production in Garland I'd prefer to stick two of them on each top six line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkitLikeiTocchet Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Pius Suter 2.0. Amazing signing!! Suter - Miller - Boeser Hoglander - Petey - Debrusk Joshua - Blueger - Garland Sprong - Heinen - Sherwood This is actually crazy, all 4 lines have bite and skill Edited July 20 by WalkitLikeiTocchet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Rip The Mesh said: Yeah. That clip does a great job breaking down what I’ve heard about him. Sure seems a strange fit with Tocchet. Maybe we’ll see him on the 4th line instead - if it’s guys like Suter and Podkolzin or especially Hoglander are down there, they might actually be very effective as a sneaky scoring line. OTOH if he does play with Petey, we could shelter that line. Miller and Garland lines are fabulous - and we’re on pace for our 4th line to be a lower end 3rd line.

Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 1 hour ago, HKSR said: WOW... what a steal. I've been pushing for this guy as an "under the radar" pickup since January! For $975k? This is gonna be a huge value contract this year. Same, have been going on about this guy fort some time myself. Under a million for a 20 goal and 40 point player who produces his points on ES in the bottom six. If his speed and hands had an opportunity in the top six more so than say a Suter you should get a higher production rate. Love this deal! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of the best points per minute player in the league. Hoglander was one of the best goals per minute guy in the league. Could squeeze a lot of goals out of those two on the fourth line. 3 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Interesting factoid: In the past, Sprong has played with Soucy, Heinen, Sherwood and Irwin. He also played with DeSmith, Cole and Gudbranson. Vancouver is his sixth NHL team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KesLord Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 1 hour ago, Crabcakes said: I really don't see Sprong going from the bargain bin directly into our top 6. This isn't San Jose. Could 32 other GM's be wrong? He's signed purely for bottom 6 scoring depth because he accepted a lowball offer by Allvin. This is probably his last chance to be an NHL regular. At least he'll be motivated. 32 GMs are wrong ALL the time. Remember when Martin St. Louis went undrafted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
