Didn't like him with Ottawa as he seemed to be rather slow. But he adds some size and physicality and likes to fight.

Any more Browns available across the league while the Red Brown makes the next generation of browns in Edmonton?

VD replacement. No.6-7 D.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Don't know a ton about this guy, but it seems like he's Vinnie's replacement?

 

[oobga]

Wonder why 3 years. Seems like a below replacement level player.

At least can bury fully if needed.

 

[Shizuka]

I guess this means Desharnais won't be back? Don't really like this one, guy is not a good defender.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well that is what it is, I doubt he plays more that 40 games with the team.

Right thread, hopefully he plays well.

 

[grego]

Worst case he goes to AHL.

I don't know anything about the guy as I don't really remember seeing him play.

3rd year doesn't cost us much and gives him guaranteed money. adding the 3rd likely got the AAV down to 1M

[LTIR]

But he is a rugged Dman with Knobloch/McDavid connection from junior days :/

 

[CycloneSweep]

Sigh, I’m not allowed to mention a bad player is bad cause that’s an over reaction apparently.

This one ain't great. It's not like, either way, he'll be counted on much.

1M seems fair though, no? 6/7D on Arizona. Weak stats any way you look at them.

 

[On The Prowl]

He seems pretty tough, maybe he is purely an enforcer signing?

 

[russ99]

Dude maxed out on 10 points in 50 plus games with the worst team in the league, are you expecting good offensive shot +/- numbers?

 

[Ruok]

Who cares because it can be buried, but really curious about the 3 year term. How did that happen?

 

[Sensators]

Hello! I am a sens fan but wanted to see what the reaction to this was. Josh was probably the worst player I've seen but now we have hamonic to give him a good run for his money. I'm astounded he is still in the league. Maybe he changed in Arizona I don't know.

I like your other signings today a lot and will be probably be following you guys once more after the sens are eliminated in November. All the best and hopefully McDavid can get one soon !

 

[nabob]

Below average player that was on a really bad team. Can be buried if needed.

 

[SwedishFire]

the worst player in the league? Wow.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

6th-7th defenseman that can hit and fight. I wonder if he'd be able to play on the wing like how MacDermid does?

 

[TheNumber4]

This guy sounds like crap. Bad reviews from Sens and Yotes fans. Like Matt Benning Bad. We are going to miss Vinny.

Maybe the Oilers see something that other fanbases haven't. Smartest Guy in the Room type move, let's hope it pays off.

 

[Old Boys Club]

As a 7th, don't care. Saves them from wasting another 4th rounder on a Mike Green, Troy Stecher, or Kulikov at the deadline. As anything more than a spot-filler, I hate it.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Can be buried in the minors if needs be. Maybe we still see Vinny back at $1.5 million AAV or so if we trade Ceci? Probably not. Too bad we couldn't finally get Parayko.

 

[Oilhawks]

People spend faaaaar too much time fixated on what is one of the least interesting positions in hockey (no offense), the 6/7D

If he sucks, they can play Kemp, Hoefenmeyer or whoever in his place.

Too much time and effort hand-wringing over a nothingburger position, contract etc
