Another D? Ok then

 

[Machinehead]

Harford move? The Rangers need a D like the Yankees need a 200 strikeout guy.

 

[Heaton]

Sproul was once highly touted and showed some good offensive abilities at times last season. Many were very excited to have Sproul for a long period of time. Not sure he'll be anything more than a 7th defenseman, but in the right situation he could be semi-productive.

 

[Ail]

Nice, that's a good trade just in the fact they need D more than F. Good luck in Detroit, Pumper.

 

[Fitzy]

I don't think he's expected to contribute in the NHL. These kinds of moves happen every year. Shuffling parts in the AHL. Maybe Detroit, who are up against the cap, want an NHL capable forward at league minimum salary.

 

[Bob Richards]

I'll miss you Puempel and your surname which was low-key difficult to remember how to spell every so often.

 

[East Coast Bias]

RHD. Welcome to the 1st pair, buddy.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I thought Hartford needed a first line forward more than they needed a top pairing D. But if it's a chance for the org to get a guy they kinda like for a guy they soured on, I get it. I liked Puempel last year but he was invisible in camp

 

[Made Dan]

Gonna miss the Puemp man. At least he'll be back in the league.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Sproul has been a kid that I've wanted forever and always thought would be the next Mike Green. He'll be a really good addition to Hartford

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

alright alright alright

 

[Hire Sather]

We need an extra forward not an extra D.

Odd. I like Sproul though.

 

[Matz03]

Hartford needed an0ther righty D. Peumpel was a free asset and he would've helped Hartford but they had Gropp, Fontaine, Cantenacci sitting so I guess it opened up a slot?

 

[Boruto]

Not much harm either way. Serviceable forwards that can be signed for $1M to $1.25M are plentiful every season if you know how to pick them. Hartford could always use more defense.

 

[nyr2k2]

So maybe they do end up sending Crawley back to London? Too many D in the AHL at the moment?

 

[hi]

 

[nyr2k2]

Hartford now has on defense:

Graves
Bereglazov
Sproul
Noonan
Gilmour
Pionk
Pedrie
Crawley

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Interesting.

Noonan can go back down to the swamp, they've had some trouble hanging on to leads so this looks to be solidifying the D

Graves-Pionk
Bereglazov-Sproul
Crawley-Pedrie/Gilmour

I think this is quite good

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tell me why I should care?

 

[Fitzy]

Tell me why I should care?

No. Do your own mental calculations.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Tell me why I should care?

Sproul's grandfather is Russian

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Two guys who were supposed to be good but aren't.

Riveting tale, Gorts.
