Hold on, you’re allowed to sign actual NHL players to fill out your lineup instead of relying on loser prospects that your delusional scouts put their faith in? That’s news to Doug Wilson.

 

[OrrNumber4]

The kind of player DW would have paid a 3rd-rounder for (then again, we have Kunin...).

This reads like a copypasta.

Hold on, you’re allowed to sign actual HFBoards posters to fill out your forum instead of relying on loser prospects that your delusional lurkers put their faith in? That’s news to Hodge.

Bonino and Cogiliano not being NHL-caliber players is news to me. Only two years of DW doing that sticks out to me, the 2014-2015 tank year and the 219-2020 season, which had a cap crunch and other bigger issues. Wilson also did not have the advantage of a bunch of depth players not being qualified due to multiple seasons of the cap being flat.

He literally had Leonard, Gambrell, Donato, Dahlen, Barabanov, and Gregor in the top nine for extended stretches of the last two seasons.

Barabanov, Gregor (the 2nd time), and Balcers worked.

Donato was DW putting faith in an established NHLer, and Donato regressed.

The thrust of your argument is correct, but the examples you use...it comes off as reaching.

Okay Donato wasn’t a good example but the rest (not to mention Yurtaikin and Bergmann from the season before that) were all totally unproven prospects slotted into key roles. An insane way to run a team that’s not overtly tanking.

Yea long stride but how fast does he skate?

(Answer: he's really slow, like Megna slow).

 

[DG93]

Wrong one, Mike lol

 

[TheBeard]

Another hard working solid defensive forward. Lets the offensive players play their game without worrying about making mistakes. I like it.

Jeeze your life must be absolutely miserable.

His height is enough said to understand this.

 

[The Nemesis]

We sacrificed Rudy for this?

Hodge? Reaching? You don't say...

 

[landshark]

Donskoi was a similar type signing, no?

 

[Gecklund]

Donskoi was a similar type signing, no?

Not quite. Donskoi had some success overseas. I’m totally fine with this as he’s a good buy low option that might still have some upside.

He was an RFA who was not qualified by Detroit, and then not qualified by Winnipeg (who finished 8 points from a wild card spot). Sheng is suggesting the fact it's a 2-way deal and the logjam of bottom six forwards that this is an AHL signing.

Not an "actual NHLer".

 

[weastern bias]

Awesome that we're finally signing real NHL players like Svechnikov who hit a new career high of 19 points in 72 games last year, his 5th season in the league

We can't waste a roster spot on a washout like Dahlen who put up 22 points in 61 games as a rookie, that would be stupid

Spot on . Does anybody have the strength to tell MG he got the wrong Svech brother. Evgenii sucks.

No he didn't. Andrei is only 6'2", 185.

LOL, my bad!

 

[Nighthock]

Can we sign the OTHER Sebastian Aho too while we're at it?

 

[The Nemesis]

Can we sign the OTHER Sebastian Aho too while we're at it?

Probably not. He's facing DUI charges at the moment so it would be bad press.

Could see about facilitating a trade with Vancouver for the other Elias Pettersson though.

Dear Lady Stanley,

If Sharks fail to win the cup by 2026, I suggest you change your name to NoStanleyForLady.
I will change it to StanleyCup2035 (assuming Hasso won’t be owner by then)
