So how much older are we? I get the 35+ contracts allow for padding, but good lord this looks like Drury being desperate knowing he may be in for a do or die season.

 

[Do you want ants]

Good signing

How is this a good signing but wheeler an elite level travesty?

 

[Leonardo87]

Some good deals today at the Dollar store. lol

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Meh. Competition at camp. Will just be waived if he doesnt win a spot.

 

[Machinehead]

On the negative side:

-Our crusade to build history's slowest hockey team marches forth.

-We're really loading up on bottom sixers WHICH WASN'T THE f***ING PROBLEM!!!!

On the positive side:

-The players we're grabbing are good. Bonino is a great 4th liner and has won Cups. He's everything they liked about Goodrow at a fraction of the price.

What the hell is happening?

Washed up old and slow player signs with NYR

Solid 4th liner. Just really lacks speed at this point. Might indicate that Goodrow is penciled in for that 3RW spot.

When all you can afford is to shop at either dollar tree or dollar general, you go to both store and find the cheapest options. Good day so far.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

another el cheapo signing. as long as we can bury them in Hartford, idgaf

But you like the Wheeler signing for some reason.

 

[Machinehead]

The thing I like about Bonino is that he can slot up if a center gets hurt and it isn't the end of life as we know it, as opposed to other 4C's where you're hanging on for dear life the 9 minutes they play as it is.

 

[Vitto79]

Nice job . Teams set

 

[DanielBrassard]

Don’t have a problem with this, very slow but still an effective checker regardless.

Ever notice dollar trees and dollar generals parking lots are always high end cars?

I've accepted that the core of our team is slow. I would have liked to add speed but there's a premium on it now.

It's ok to be slow of you play a style that slows down the game. If we had the same coach, I'd be more concerned. Gallant shows for two years that he somehow wanted to play with pace with this group.

 

[SML2]

Kraft mac n cheese. You won't go to bed hungry, but you could have done alot better.

 

[Fitzy]

Yeah as happy as I am so far we are most certainly not getting any faster.

We will see but I can’t see this working. Not in this division. I like this team’s chances against Tampa but getting past the Debbie’s and Canes with these plodders is going to be really rough.

Time starting to remind me of the team from 1998-2004. Old and slow.

Carolina showed that the Devils are easily forced into a rugby match. Hell, they weren't that fast against us either. We lost to them because our offense is completely inept.

 

[GAGLine]

A few couple fast players added to the bottom 6 isn't going to do much for our team speed. We need to play faster. The puck moves faster than any player. Good structure will help with that. Let hope Lavi can instill some in this team.
