He probably be best fit in Anaheim then he won't see playoffs. He's a good regular season player but in the playoffs he just looks bad.

I posted yesterday that Anaheim may bring him back. Fills a spot/need for a rebuilding team.
I’m not clamoring for it, it just makes sense. 2 years at most

Fire Greg Cronin!
They probably won’t sign him - they want players with good work ethic and Sprong might not be the fit

Sprong was really good for stretches in Detroit.. doesn't say much but during the long losing streaks he was one of the few playing hard every shift and driving the play. Black hole on defense but will score a team 20 goals and get benched for 20 games in his sleep.
He's one of the most "efficient" per minute scorers around but it should be pretty telling that he can score that well and still manages to struggle to get more than 4th line minutes everywhere he goes and every team he's been on is willing to let him walk by the time he approaches his 100th game or so, even though he's never been on a big contract.
He will find a landing spot though, for sure.

I would love to see him in Tampa. They just lost some fire power with Stamkos and Jeannot and Duclair.
Tampa likes to push the pace and that’s how Sprong likes to play. Maybe give him a shot with Cirelli and Hagel…those 2 will do most of the D work.

He doesn't fraternize with the enemy...

Nothing against Sprong, he's an entertaining player. But I wish he'd just go to the KHL already. I'm very interested to see what kind of absurd numbers he'd put up over there.
I liked Sprong's time with the Caps. He seemed to shoot first always and had speed. I haven't watched him much other than in Seattle after the Caps time. Sometimes it's great to have selfish players who will just shoot the puck than over passing.

He's a major defensive liability which is why he almost strictly plays on teams 4th lines. He's probably asking for too much

Canes have a lot of excellent defensive players in our bottom-6 but not a lot of finishing. Sprong would be a great fit there if the price goes down a bit.

He’ll find a spot. He’s very one dimensional. Exactly like Walman, he too was a healthy scratch down the stretch for Detroit, because you just can’t trust him.

Ducks will be ok for the floor now after trading for Fabbri’s $4 mil. salary today and Dumoulin’s $3.15 mil. salary yesterday.

If he is willing to accept league min I would like him on the Avs, would be hilarious to see Bednar pulling his hair out as he just completely ignores defensive responsibilities
