Bye Colton

 

[Ekblad]

whoooooo!!!

 

[Canadian Canuck]

**** I wanted Marchessault. Going to be a steal

 

[ShootIt]

Coolio

I like it.

 

[izzy]

Not bad guys to bring in.

 

[Gunnar Staal]

Damn i wanted the Pens to grab Marchessault. Probably a better chance for him to get NHL time in FLA though.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Updated the titles with their AAVs

 

[Ouroboros]

Fantastic bargain on Sceviour.

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

Damn, really wanted the Bolts to re-sign JAM, knew it wouldn't happen, but we're going to miss him.

 

[WhatWhat]

Florida got an absolute depth stud in Sceviour. Good luck in Florida Colton

 

[Jacko95]

Good luck JAM, sad to see him go, but he deserves a better chance and he knew he will get it somewhere else. Could turn out a huge steal if he makes it as a top6.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Sceviour is a great bargain.

 

[Teemu]

Marchessault's a bargain.

 

[Gritty]

I wanted both of these guys! Great job, Florida

 

[EXTRAS]

Florida has like 40 forwards.

Who takes jams spot in Tampa? Gourde?

 

[Unspecified]

I wish Dallas would of hung onto Sceviour. He is a very underrated player.

 

[Panthers Rock]

Sceviour had 11g and 12a last year?? Wow, that is a good deal for a player who can do that, granted on a very talented Stars team, but still, good deal.

Likely one of the Swiss kids. Vermin or Richard. Both are better prepared for the bottom-6, especially Richard deserves his chance and could turn out a great bottom 6er as he has skill and can get a little nasty.

He played in the bottom 6.

Agreed. As of now the 13F is Condra and Vermin (24) / Richard (23) are the next ones up on the development ladder and they deserve their shot this season. Hope Yzerman doesn't sign anyone for a third line / fourth line role and the organizations gives the kids a shot at the bottom 3 forward positions.

It's not like Marchessault really had a spot when we were healthy anyway, which was a shame.

Good signing by Florida. If this guy gets a legit opportunity, I don't think anyone in TB will be surprised if he responds by putting up 40, maybe even 50 points.

Very underrated shot. Great release. And seriously feisty despite being built like a garden gnome.

Wish him all the best.

Absolutly agree with you. Same thing as with Namestnikov, neither got a big enough chance to take other guys places, while both likely were good enough to do so.
Anyways best of luck March, hope you get the chance you have fought so hard for in your career.

 

[Panthers Rock]

He played in the bottom 6.

Yes I understand that, which is why I'm impressed, those are good numbers for a bottom 6 player in 71 games, most especially for the contract price. We had bottom 6 players last year who couldn't sniff those numbers (Bolland, Grimaldi, Thornton though not his role)

 

[Ajacied]

He played in the bottom 6.

To be honest, he saw a lot of time on the top line as well as some powerplay minutes. Also was a strong presence on the PK.

Wasn't much of a fan of him, but he filled his role well enough. I think 950k is pretty cheap too..
