i believe he likes to stand in front of the goalie coach and fight anyone that comes near him.

Why?
I’d say this makes him more likely to be traded. Now there’s cost certainty. This is a very terse announcement:
No quotes from the GM at all. I think he gone, likely by the end of the week if not before.

Seems odd that Holland had not a word to say about the player in the official release.
“I signed his sorry ass, now offer up your 2nd picks bitches”
As a bit of a contrast, a bit rosier welcome for a new coach:

If JP ever finds the ability to finish at the NHL level I think he would make a great 2nd line winger. As others have pointed out his finishing is maybe better when he’s controlling the puck off the rush, and that’s just not going to happen playing with McDrais.
As he is right now I think he easily slots in on a Staal type shutdown 3rd line, he’s a forechecking machine who uses his big frame in an unconventional manner. Does that make him a bust? I don’t necessarily think so. Disappointment based on his draft position? Maybe.

I would love to see how JP does with us but I don't see any way that happens with the current cap.

Yup. I started thinking about it recently when Warsofsky's name was coming up. Some of them seem to have settled into solid careers, but not really anything that makes me miss them. And it seemed like Ulf and Vellucci were both thought to be on a pretty good path to more than where they are. I'm sure Vellucci will finally get a chance at some point as he seems to get some interviews. Might need the guy in front of him to get fired at some point.

I admittedly didn't watch as much of Puljujarvi this past season, but his skating and balance still seem off to me when I do see him. Kinda somewhere in between Kotkaniemi and Necas (not a great example but best I can come up with now). He's a much better skater than Kotkaniemi and not as good as Necas, but he seems to get knocked off balance easily. When not skating at speed but down low, his balance seems better, but Kotkaniemi seems stronger on his skates in those situations.
Maybe he improved last season, but he still seems a bit awkward.

Jesus, no. Especially for $1M more.

Wolves signed 3 meh players. I would expect some AHL SPCs because of the expected amount of prospects getting ATOs after their seasons are over
It is an elaborate 4 year plan to lure Logan Cooley to NCAA UFA and continue Carolina's dynasty

I mean, Farrance was nothing special but really? stunned that he had to do an AHL contract, not even a 2-way contract. I literally remember him playing against us with Nashville and being non-shit level with BU and in the AHL before that.

Wow, that guy had a not insignificant NHL career and I’ve never heard of him in my life. Granted, that was before the stage of my fandom when I would’ve known who we signed to a PTO, but still.

Hold up here, you're telling me that in 2006, a 32 year old had Cale for a first name? Geez I'm 34 and the only Cale I know is, 25?

I am admittedly not his biggest fan but I think he could be Nino light. I'm just not sure of his hockey sense and compete level compared to a guy like Nino. That could potentially come as he gets more experience though.

No lie, I can maybe rattle off the names of 12 to 15 NASCAR drivers from then and now. Aside from an old computer game from 1997-ish I just never gave a shit about NASCAR. Hell I've never been to their hall of fame and I used to occasionally walk by it.

That was the same year we had Jason Woolley in camp, also on a pto. He didn’t get signed, either.

Yeah, wouldn't expect a team get offended for a player filing for arbitration, though the organization got a patched history with Jesse. Intentional absense of perceived commitment is a plausible explamation here.

Hello other person that remembers this obscure shit

Geez and I thought I was the king of obscure knowledge. I do kinda remember Jeff O'Neill getting a PTO in 2007? Also I remember reading one time that Chad Larose beat out David Clarkson for the last spot in 2005.
But, yeah I've never heard of Wolley or Hulse.
