Hahaha

Low risk signing.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

I like it. Nice cheap depth piece. He's always been a pain in the ass against the Bolts.

 

[Antiramie]

For the cap space we have left, especially considering we need to sign Moser, I'd definitely take Tank if JBB can fit him in. He was just never on my radar cause I figured he'd be too expensive.

Him and Roslovic are the only guys out there that seem possible at this point.

So is that our 2nd line RW?

That’s cheap how did he get less than Sheary ?

 

[Sky04]

Best case we get a 25g 50 point guy for 900k, worst case we get Sheary 2.0 on the right. Still don't like Cirelli at 2C though.

Still has the buyout money.

We still have a lot of money i don’t get it ? Moser is not getting more then 3 million at most probably

At least it’s a 1 year deal the bad thing is Sheary has two years left

He had his $5.875 Million season left on his contract with the Flyers bought out...

Nice. Low-risk bet but I’m not expecting much. We can bury his contract if needed.

 

[These Are The Days]

Excellent signing. I don't want him to score goals, I want him to be an absolute pain in the ass to play against. I can (potentially) make 3 of our 4 forward lines make sense now

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

His numbers were down last year at quick glance, how do we feel?

 

[Felonious Python]

So is that our 2nd line RW?

We're short of right-handed forwards, so he might be in the bottom six.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I'm kinda scared. Didn't score in his final 23 games last season (Feb 8th - March 16th). Had another stretch where he didn't score for 25 games straight between Nov 15th and Jan 12th.

 

[ccman68]

he’s pretty washed but sure why not

 

[DFC]

Anything under a million doesn't even count. There's no player we can sign for less than a million that's a mistake.

If we can get double digit goals from him, and that's a solid bet, then this is a nice signing by JBB. And if he's terrible, we throw another body into the slot and lose exactly nothing.

 

[Zwui21]

Atkinson at 900k is okay. Old tho, so meh.
I have to guess (and f***ING HOPE) he's Sheary's replacement.
No way JBB goes into the season with cap space. And no way JJ Moser cost us all our remaining cap.
So, a couple moves must still be in the works

 

[gn2007]

He was on the flyers where torts does whatever he feels is right. Who knows what will happen, low risk and 900k is very manageable.

 

[DFC]

We're short of right-handed forwards, so he might be in the bottom six.

Hard to imagine him being in the top-6 without a miraculous return to form.

Wouldn't be shocking to see him win a spot on the PP though. Maybe Killorn's old role.

I literally have to resist the urge to spout off about Cirelli at 2C

Bring back TJ.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm not sold that we get Sheary off the roster, but I think JBB is gonna try to get Moser as cheaply as possible so we can go looking for one more impact player. Wouldn't be shocked if it's a RHD though. Or maybe we trade Perbix for a vet RHD who's on the decline, but still serviceable.
