Confirmed Signing with Link: [DAL] Stars sign Jiri Hudler (1 yr, $2M)

[Dogewow]

Solid signing for the Stars.

That Oduya / Johns mixes hurts Chicago so so bad

**** Chicago in their mouth. Like they need pity for having a weak roster.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Kevin Klein, Brandon Halvorsen for Nish, Honka, 5th

Nuke could never play in the NHL ever again and I'd still turn that down.

Klein's hardly an improvement on what we already have, and neither is Halverson, who'd be no more than a backup to Desrosiers in Texas. Or maybe even further down, in Idaho, depending on how Dallas's goalie prospects shake out.

 

[clunk]

Yesss. Thank god. More room for young players on the Canucks. So glad.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Dallas is looking dangerous, oh man.

 

[serp]

If it happens i would guess Hudler plays with Spezza most of the time . All our other lines are usually very dependent on speed and IRC Hudler is not a fast player.

Still not 100% concinved it happens until i see a Stars writer source . If it happens ok i guess . Not really a need but would be so cheap and low risk that it doesn't really matter.

 

[kp61c]

nuke is gone then. i wonder where, i really doubt dynamo has money to sign him

 

[Lunatik]

Good signing for Dallas

 

[Henkka]

Hudler got 46 points on CGY & FLA. I see him getting 50, he could play on any 4 lines but will probably end up playing w/ Spezza

He also had league-high goals against / 60. Good luck for your "strong" goaltending.

Hudler had little to do with the goals scored against the Flames. The problems were goaltending and Hartley's system which overused the breakout pass and resulted in tons of quality scoring chances against, especially with Hudler, Gaudreau and Monahan were on the ice.

Sounds like a same plan at Dallas to use a system which will lead to bad goaltending.

The difference being that Calgary was bad at it, while Dallas is good at it.

Still doesn't make it Hudler's fault.

As soon as this team adds bishop....You have to put Dallas at favourite to win the cup

 

[hockeykicker]

Seems like Dallas is trying to become the capitals of 2008-10. All that offense

 

[BHD]

Does Hudler play net?

Weak roster? ya keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better.

 

[TrillMike]

Didn't see this coming.

Not necessarily. The offense-only system would need to be tweaked to allow Bishop to succeed and at that point the roster outside of Seguin, Benn, Spezza, Bishop and Klingberg looks less than stellar.

Dallas is a team that I think is repeatedly overrated. A good playoff team, but never a Cup favorite.

I don't see how they do it, unless they intend to trade one of Niemi/Lehtonen elsewhere. I can't see why Tampa would take one of them back. They don't need to trade Bishop, but they do need his cap space next year. Both Niemi and Lehtonen have 2 years left on their contracts, while Bishop only has 1.

stop being so dramatic -- johns is not a 3/4 defenseman

 

[Benstheman]

All about offense.

Subpar defense and horrible goaltending.

Hope for them this signing means Bishop or MAF for Niemi and Nuke. If not, they won't win anytime soon.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What dman could Nichushkin get the Stars

 

[oconnor9sean]

He played top 4 minutes on a top team, and was not bad. He will be a staple in the defense for quite a while. Thanks for him, btw.

 

[Bhrangerfan0809]

So...when can we expect this to be confirmed?
