Looking him up….. lol

 

[Burnie97]

They predicted 3 Dman. Also wasn't this someone many wanted.

I'd still like to see some trades but I think Tre has done a decent job.

This isn't the end of the world today.

There's been some really horrific signings on a lot of other teams.

 

[SprDaVE]

Makes sense, it rounds out the D pretty decently well. We'll see for how much but the D is pretty crowded now.

 

[HockeyVirus]

6 foot 7? Woah

 

[trellaine201]

Nothing like volume over quality. Should be good depth on the blueline if nothing else.

Probably the end of Timmins here.

Like this signing. RHD that can replaced Tanev on the top pair if Tanev gets injured.

 

[SprDaVE]

It's a little weird the Stars decided to let him go and sign Lyubushkin for 2 years instead.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Nice he's a big boy at 6'7". Tanev and Hakanpaa both right handed shots. Another move to solidify the D.

 

[Anthrax442]

never heard of him. whats the scoop?

 

[ClarkSittler]

Big guy 6'7 225 lbs

Found this:

"Hakanpää averaged 18:39 in time on ice during the regular season and led the Stars in hits with 196."

 

[SprDaVE]

It's a little weird the Stars decided to let him go and sign Lyubushkin for 2 years instead.

Lyubushking is worth over 3M but Hakanpaa 1.5M?

I will say this is good business from Treliving.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Love this move

 

[SprDaVE]

never heard of him. whats the scoop?

Leafs wanted to sign him a few years ago but he opted for Dallas.

Big RHD that is very physical, plays a lot of PK but doesn't really provide much else. He's pretty solid. He played around 18 minutes for a good Dallas team.

 

[Buds17]

The blueline is at least seven NHLers (starters) deep. Hmmm...

Nice contract here.

Does this mean they try to move Lily ?

 

[Frostitute]

NOW THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!

 

[BayStBullies]

Good signing

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This guy was understatedly good a couple years ago I think. Seems his play has dropped off. Don’t mind the money and term though.

[Leafidelity]

This is a solid signing

 

[HockeyVirus]

Nice contract here.

Tanev is going to miss games, Rielly has been missing games last few seasons, Liljegren is unproven. Good chance we will need 9 dmen again this year so having 7 dmen is a good thing

E

never heard of him. whats the scoop?

Excellent bottom pairing guy who is physically terrifying and can step into the top 4 in a pinch.
