GDT: Free Agency: Dr Strangedubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nerd

[Trade]

Are the Pens not allowed to get guys over 6 foot?

Or under 30

 

[Ugene Magic]

You are very close to ignore list

Yeah, that's okay.... Dubas betting on Acciari to be some bottom savior is right up there with others who've patrolled there.

These bargain deals end up not being a bargain. Just sayin'.

 

[Pens x]

I like the Acciari signing. Finally, someone that won’t turn into a turtle when the other team is physical.

 

[eXile3]

My thought process on this is Dubas panicked because he knew he had 1 minor signing and has a press conference coming up in 40 minutes so he went to a player that he had in Toronto and overpaid for a 4th liner that just like Nieto is undersized

Dudes 210 pounds according to NHL.com.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Acciari also a RH center and respectable in the dot.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Acciari's used to the Sully usage. We can make a fairly honest projection.

 

[deakka]

He won't be a 4C, he is the 3C and our new shut down center. At least this shows that Sullivan and Doober do actually communicate, and we got a guy who has at least done the job Sullivan will ask of him. All the forwards we've brought in are good defensive players.

So we gonna have another year with sub-par production from our 3rd line? If hes our 3c we are in deep trouble

 

[Peat]

Seems like market value? Maybe even a bargain.

10-15 goal gritty 3c for 2mil is great value imo

He rarely gets 15 goals though. He does that then great, but he doesn't more often than he does.

I actually think that waiting is the best approach. Alot of misfits will sign for cheap.

Dubas is gonna build this team thru trades anyway and it takes time.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can't believe this place isn't bitching about Sprong. I thought for sure that was gonna be a topic of heated discussion.

Also, who gives a f*** if a guy is 30 or 31? This team's got, at most optimistic, two years left. Does it matter if the no name 4th line guy posting 15-20pts is 31 or 27?

 

[MrBrightside]

Yeah, that's okay.... Dubas betting on Acciari to be some bottom savior is right up there with others who've patrolled there.

random bottom 6 signing = “savior”

Ok.

 

[Shrimper]

First day of Free Agency and all the Pens get is 2 4th liners.

Well they're not going to be going for the big names

 

[Hotep Numminen]

acciari is a fast fella

 

[Pens x]

So we gonna have another year with sub-par production from our 3rd line? If hes our 3c we are in deep trouble

Agreed that he is not a 3C. A really solid 4C.

 

[Andy99]

Acciari also a RH center and respectable in the dot.

Sullivan’s wet dream…he can put Carter and Acciari out there together, on the PK, in OT…

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Acciari, Smith, and Neito all good pick ups.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

I find it hilarious how many people seemingly hate this team, it's players, coaches and GM continue to post on here

 

[Andy P]

Dudes 210 pounds according to NHL.com.

I said undersized... not skinny. Sully wanted big physical players assuming for the wingspan.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

woah

 

[Pancakes]

Acciari also a RH center and respectable in the dot.

And can kill penalties.

Both Acciari and Smith should hopefully improve the pk

 

[deakka]

Is it too much to ask to take a chance on someone under 30? Still some younger players put there.

 

[Malkinstheman]

woah

Dumo replacement

 

[farscape1]

Well they're not going to be going for the big names

Dont need big names as we have our top 6.

The “if they do _______” I’m done! You know they’ll be in here posting the next day.

Whos left that we actually have a shot at?
