nice tidy bit of business from Alvin

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Didn’t even have points this go around so no one should be shocked

Yep, a lot of people may have complaints about roster building mistakes, but he's not afraid to fix his mistakes.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Really great shot.

Really bad habits in the D zone.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

end of the line for him?

 

[TMLegend]

Doubt he clears. Someone who needs scoring depth will take a shot, even if he's god awful defensively

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Go sign in Europe and make a living over there

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

To my fellow Lightning fans.... don't even f***ing think about it

I mean, Kaliyev has some similar issues and strengths and he made it part way through the list. *shrug*

 

[BKarchitect]

Are we finally going to stop acting like this guy is anything more than a fringe NHLer and that his goals/minute rate doesn’t even come close to making up for everything he is terrible at?

 

[Breakers]

There was a great collection of vid's that somebody put together of Sprong on Van

he literally just hung out at center ice
the opposing team had offensive zone possession, and he wouldnt enter the defensive zone
and he was just posted up waiting for his team to retrieve the puck and give him a stretch pass

 

[VanillaCoke]

Wouldn't mind him in Vancouver

 

[HockeyVirus]

Really great shot.

Really bad habits in the D zone.

So Nick Robertson.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

So Nick Robertson.

Basically difference is one is 23 and one is 27.

This guy has been waived more than all the Kardashians combined

None of them have played in the NHL...

Good and exciting offensivly, bad defensivly. Sounds like the perfect tank player.
Next year is the year of McKenna, who should be a bomb by that time. Those nimble and smart hands are something to look for.
Anaheim, Ottawa, Maybe Philly shoulf.msybe get a claim.

 

[DumbManHockey]

Off to Europe. He's done here

 

[leeroggy]

None of them have played in the NHL...

Some probably played WITH the NHL

 

[Terry Yake]

has this guy ever played on a single team for more than 2 seasons?

 

[Forsbergaura21]

I can see a team like Tampa giving him a shot…if he can’t produce on their PP then ye he is done in nhl.

 

[TGWL]

Maybe Rangers will just claim the waivers. Can't be singled out as bad defensively if the entire structure and team doesn't play defense...

 

[Bounces R Way]

With the amount of times this guys been bounced around it reads like more than 'poor defensively'. Would bet on him being an unlikeable jackass too.
