[MaxDummy]

Well he kinda had to sign him to not lose face.

 

[Whitesnake]

We are surely not wasting 1 contract for this guy are we? ECHL contract?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I don't get it. They signed a 4th liner to a 1 year deal who was part of the system.

[MOD]

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

One year deal for a depth forward who won't play every game.. what's the big deal? Much rather him back than Flynn

 

[The Great Weal]

I don't get it. They signed a 4th liner to a 1 year deal who was part of the system.

[MOD]

He doesn't belong in the NHL

 

[Whitesnake]

I don't get it. They signed a 4th liner to a 1 year deal who was part of the system.

[MOD]

Who was part of the system? What do you mean?

Because this is HF Boards and everything MB does is pathetic...so it seems.

 

[Darz]

If its under $900,000 I'm fine with it.

edit: $675,000....all good

 

[habaholic]

He doesn't belong in the NHL

the same way Pateryn is so much better than Benn right?

If it's a 900K or less deal, then I really, but really couldn't care less. He could be on this lineup. Or not. As long as there's no caphit attached if he isn't.

Seriously? And....do you know that Flynn isn't coming back?

Hey try this...how about NEITHER? And aim for better?

 

[habaholic]

$675 000

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

He doesn't belong in the NHL

He can easily be sent to the AHL, it's a one year deal and given it's one way it is probably dirt cheap.

 

[BLNY]

I don't have a problem with this. 675k for your 13th forward. Put him in against the heavier teams. I'd rather have him be the regular scratch than Hudon, etc.

 

[void]

Oh...

 

[Whitesnake]

If its under $900,000 I'm fine with it.

Why? So we have room for total useless player IF it's under 1 million.

Is that number right?

 

[neil2005]

he's also now available to be exposed in the expansion draft. Maybe a cheap 4th line option for the Knights?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

He doesn't belong in the NHL

He's like a 13th forward.

Who was part of the system? What do you mean?

Martinsen is RFA. They signed him to a 1 year deal.

Why does this make the organization pathetic?

Let me guess, because I'm not pointlessly negative about signing an RFA to a 1 year deal at some cheap amount I must be a MB defender.

At what point do people realize *****ing about these types of signings is pointless? It's not even July 1st, the draft or anything. Hockey is still being played.

 

[Whitesnake]

the same way Pateryn is so much better than Benn right?

So....he was a great player for the time he was here?

 

[Paul Dipietro]

Big, can hit and can skate. Can do a lot worse for a 13th forward

 

[Runner77]

he's also now available to be exposed in the expansion draft. Maybe a cheap 4th line option for the Knights?

MB is not their GM. Won't happen.

 

[David Suzuki]

This thread is proof in the pudding that people on here just will literally turn everything in to their own personal soap box. Good grief.

No issue with this. 650 K for a 13th forward.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Seriously? And....do you know that Flynn isn't coming back?

Hey try this...how about NEITHER? And aim for better?

Did I say Flynn isn't coming back? I said I'd rather Martinsen than Flynn, rather have a more physical guy than another soft guy like Flynn.

He'll likely be a 13th or 14th forward who won't play every game, love how every summer people get so emotional over depth signings in June.
