For those interested, this cost Seattle $13,125, paid to Vegas and not counted against the cap.

 

[CupInSIX]

Oh that's just petty.

 

[orby]

Didn't know he was still in the league tbh. He's apparently played in a total of 4 NHL games since the start of 2019.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

So the Kraken are just trying to be awful then?

 

[M2Beezy]

Could be a solid #8 for a bottom 5 team like Seattle

"Working at Sears sucks, Crash."

The first player to play for both the Kraken and Golden Knights. Giordano and Lauzon replacement.

They’ll be asking about this one at trivia night for decades.

I mean. We don't really have to try to be honest.

10 years younger than old man Gio and for free. Come on, the posters should be thrilled about this and call it a win for the Kraken, no?

How is this guy still lurking around the NHL? He's proven multiple times that he's not NHL caliber. Though i guess maybe that doesn't matter to Seattle right now.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Meh signing.

 

[The Marquis]

Minimum contract, lost season, warm body, played juniors in Portland. I guess those are the positives.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Poo was basically poo his whole time in Van. Funny how many chances he’s getting due to his draft pedigree, if he was a fourth rounder he’d be nowhere near an NHL roster 5 years ago

*searching through trash memory*

Ah, the Poo.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Yes

*searching through trash memory*

Ah, the Poo.

yes, the Poo, the stinky part of the infamous Gud-Poo defensive pairing that was probably the worst ever assembled over Benning’s illustrious reign

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I remember back in 2012 when people said he'd be an outstanding offensive defenseman.

You think it's wrong to expect the #8 pick of the draft to be good?

No, but I'm just underscoring the difference between fans' views of him in 2012 and now.

 

[ijuka]

Well, he was 8th overall pick, so perhaps they're hoping for a redemption story. 28 isn't that old.

He could be a late boomer. Who knows? I hope he gets to play well, though. The pick that chose him was traded in exchange of Jordan Staal.

Would be nice, but I think we'd all be shocked.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

Pouliot is the only regular Canucks defenceman of the Benning era that I disliked more than Gudbranson.

Don't want to hear that Gudbranson name. He was just as awful.

 

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

Still find it hard to believe the Penguins passed on Filip Forsberg for this guy.
