Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign F Daniel Sprong to 1-Year Deal ($975K)

[Baby Pettersson]

Every goal he scores earns himself another bald patch on his scalp.

 

[Wisp]

why give Jeff Skinner $3m when you can get Sprong for almost league minimum.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Sprong has meme potential tbh

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

 

[Yultron]

Wooow ok this is just pretty awesome TBH, Patrick Allvin is awake .

Pretty sure this means Podkolzin is now officially the 13th forward or maybe a trade is brewing ,

But now our top 12 is elite

 

[wonton15]

This is Pius Suter 2.0

Allvin is a damn genius. This low cap hit doesn’t necessarily mean we need to move out a Hog/Pod either.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Great signing.

 

[Tact]

@Vector can you do goals in and out again? lol I think we’re +17 now

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

My guess right now -

Heinen - Miller - Boeser
Sprong - Pettersson - DeBrusk
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Sherwood - Suter - Hoglander
PDG

That’s a pretty slick four line setup.

Now that defence….

That’s a pretty slick four line setup.

Forwards are set and seems like this was the plan. Now it sets up a Hoglander/Podkolzin/Lekkerimaki?+ trade to bolster the LHD with a bit of cap flexibility. You see why they didn’t commit to Zadorov now.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I guess a girl with an itty bitty waist finally walked in.

Allvin was just waiting for the round thing in his face.

She must have obliged.

 

[TruGr1t]

I can’t believe he came that cheap, obviously has warts as a player but damn that’s one Hell of a money ball contract for that even strength offensive production.

Obviously Sprong is banking on himself and saw opportunity here to play with Miller or Pettersson.

At this rate they don’t even have to move anyone, just waive Aman, I think.

 

[Vector]

@Vector can you do goals in and out again? lol I think we’re +17 now

Correct! 48 goals out and 65 coming in.

 

[Peen]

I saw a video circulating a few months ago going over why he doesn’t play more and he looked like prime whiney JT, current Ovie, Zegras, etc, in his own end. Just zero commitment and focus on defending.

You would think the improvement needs to be significant and also quick for Tocchet to utilize him. Like would Tocchet use him instead of PDG, Podkolzin, Aman types in a fourth line role if he’s controller disconnecting? Strongly doubt it

 

[DFAC]

Sprong free > Mercer in a trade

Also, I think he’s a better player

Love ya LB but you’re just wrong here

 

[God]

Great signing. Hopefully we get a few of these every season... best way to get bargain deals. And it's a fairly easy contract to get rid of if it doesn't work.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Kyle Wellwood vibes

[SoggyBobcat]

Incredibly low risk/moderate reward.

Actually almost zero risk, as his cap hit can be fully buried in the minors.

 

[Bgav]

Love it

 

[EpochLink]

Forward depth on this team is great going into the season.
Tidy up the defense and we got ourselves a tank.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I know he has defensive issues but how does a guy with back to back 40s pts season didn’t even get 1m

LET ALLVIN COOK

 

[valkynax]

Not a HUGE fan of the player but at that price it's worth a shot.
