Around the NHL: Post-Draft and Free Agent Frenzy

[Jim Bob]

Wonder if the Sabre's were in on him ?

Would you of traded Kulich or Ostlund for McGroaty for ie?

I wonder if that would have beat Yager who went one pick after Benson. Yager was 2nd in scoring for Canada at the WJCs and slightly outscored Savoie in the playoffs for Moose Jaw.

 

[Jacob582]

I could see Adams offering Ostlund, Kulich, Rosen or Savoie and Winnipeg choosing Yager instead.

 

[Chainshot]

And the Jets know Yager knows and has played in Winnipeg. Something to consider was his time on the Ice.

 

[SundherDome]

Im sure the will Mcgroaty sign thread would have been epic if we traded for him

I'm pretty sure there were reports that we checked in and it was noted he wouldn't sign here

 

[Dingo44]

McGroarty is really good. Nothing against Yager but I'd take Rutger.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

McGroarty is really good. Nothing against Hager but I'd take Rutger.

Yager is more explosive offensively but McGroarty complete game is much better

 

[Beerz]

McGroarty is really good. Nothing against Hager but I'd take Rutger.

I take Hager over David Lee Roth tho

I take Hager over David Lee Roth tho

More bangers with Roth

Guys who force their way out of an unfancied small market they feel they are too good for will always earn a spot on my Permanent Shit List. Hope he busts harder than Griffin Reinhart.

That's blasphemy. Van Halen, Van Halen II, Fair Warning, Women and Children First, 1984, and even Diver Down are masterpieces.

Eddie is the greatest guitar player of all time but with DLR it was magical. With Hagar it was a little better than Bon Jovi. Other than Source of Infection - that song rocks.

I wouldn't be surprised if neither of these players amounts to much, but McGroarty's fail case as a bottom six grinder makes me think he's more likely to be a legit contributor.

I just wanted to reply that as a first rounder Yager probably wont fail that likely but the I saw the former Wings 6th overall Zadina wasn't even qualified by the Sharks.

Roth was a better showman. Hager the better singer.

 

[Dingo44]

Roth was a better showman. Hager the better singer.

Van Halen has better songs and better energy than Van Hagar. Hagar has better range but Dave has better attitude and fit Eddie's playing better.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Roth was a better showman. Hager the better singer.

Hagar's voice never did justice to Eddie's guitar. He's just not larger than life.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Van Halen has better songs and better energy than Van Hagar. Hagar has better range but Dave has better attitude and fit Eddie's playing better.

Nailed it. I always imagine David Lee Roth doing a much, much better version of Finish What Ya Started. Sammy just misses on a great song. Now, if you want to talk about the first Montrose album and Bad Motor Scooter I stand defenseless on Sammy's greatness on that song.

 

[Fjordy]

Good for Askarov

Exactly. I actually like Sammy Hagar - just not with Van Halen in place of David Lee Roth.

San Jose is really bringing it in their rebuild.

The piece the Sharks needed.

 

[sabremike]

Maybe we should've hired this Mike Grier fellow to be our GM instead of Kevyn From Accounting.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

So basically SJ traded Hertl for Askarov.

 

[Zman5778]

I have no idea who Edstrom or Chroma are.
