Is Pesonen still floating around somewhere? Or is he in Albany waiting for an injury still?

Two seasons ago, Santorelli was 20g 21a in Florida. Then 9g and 1a in 60 games last year.

He was definitely playing a little bit ahead of himself, then regressed. That said, he was given a lesser role on the team (after Tallon signed every 3rd liner he could find) and that definitely had affect on his numbers.

Man I've had it with the main board. Yesterday, and still today they're slagging us about Zajac. Now people are saying we have the WORST goalie tandem in the league! What a bunch of crap we don't even have the worst goalie tandem in the division!

Flyers have Bryz, and Leighton or Boucher? LOL! And the Isles plan on dressing, and playing that trash can Dipietro as Nabby's backup? That guy has no business even playing in a local mens league anymore!

I gotta say, watching the scrimmage (and I know it's just a scrimmage), Butler and Matteau both really look like they belong. Butler looks a little lost in the O zone sometimes but that's to be expected. No doubt the staff will clear that up quickly.

EDIT: Wait, I've confused myself. Butler is 9, right? Who's 15?

Harri Pesonen

There was 2 15s for Red, Pesonen and Zalewski.

Even if he can't play hockey I ****ing love the guy as a person

^ This.

Hopefully he avoids going to any SHOCK-JOCK's radio station from now on, though.

Sure sounds like #Stars deal with Jamie Benn getting finalized. Latest Dal offer I heard was 33M. Look for cap hit around 5.5M for 5/6 yrs

Whatever he can following a Bad Kovy-Flub of the puck at the Blue-line.


Moose is the LAST person you should blame in that vid.

 

[hlaverty06]

I didn't watch the scrimmage how did Pesonen do?

 

[Bleedred]

That might be too much to have him on our cap hit. Maybe not though. At least we know what Zajac will be getting so that helps out. Maybe not though.

It quite obvious to me that this is a sign and trade with the Devils

I would think Benn camp wants the least amount of years possible.

Well theres that

and the main board posters saying "he will be making less then zajac?" RFA Vs UFA...

 

[glenwo2]

^ The main board doesn't give up, does it?

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice
Josefson (foot), Barch (groin) are "resting", Devils say.

Why do I have visions of Lou having to buy a new pair of shoes all of a sudden?

 

[Rekker]

I couldn't see us landing Benn anyway..

 

[Bleedred]

Lou is pretty much saying 10 games into the season is when a move could be made when he did this interview with Francesca. He has said 10 games before in another interview. That might be when we see a defenseman traded.

 

[aboriginal]

I didn't watch the scrimmage how did Pesonen do?

i thought he looked good.

 

[hlaverty06]

i thought he looked good.

And in no way shape or form are you being biased?

haha no he looked good defensively and scored on moose. id say it was a good day. cue ice cube song.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

I assume we'll be seeing Pesonen once the injured bodies start to pile up.

 

[Bleedred]

The Islanders haven't won a home opener since 94/95 I think.

The Devils are great at breaking those kinds of milestones.

I am guessing Lou is waiting for a big D to go down early. It is going to be interesting who gets bench. I never though it would be Larsson or Volchenko but I don't see how Salvador, Tallinder, Fayne, Greene, or Zidlicky sit when healthy.

Maybe we go with seven defensemen. Would make some sense given our lack of forward depth.
