The biggest deadline domino falls.

 

[PAZ]

Wonder if Sprong is the 13F in Seattle or if someone gets bumped out.

 

[SI90]

It’s really happening!!

 

[Regal]

Lame. He definitely has his problems but with the PP struggling and the 3rd line being strong I don’t see why Tocchet feels he needs 12 forwards playing a regular 5v5 shift. I don’t see what guys like Bains have brought that’s more than what Sprong could as a PP specialist

 

[thekernel]

Damn, I liked him. But I can see why he didn't want to keep rotating out of the lineup

 

[maroon 6]

Tocchet really didnt give him a shot

 

[innitfam]

Why bother signing him if you're gonna trade him a month into the season?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

HF Boards crashing in 3 2 1...

 

[Raistlin]

maybe they are really thinking about bringing Lekkerimaki up? ....because Bains is not the guy I'm afraid.

 

[The Great Weal]

I thought you weren't allowed to trade freshly signed unrestricted free agents until January 1?

 

[Breakers]

$200k was a singing bonus. Very manageable for depth considering what he is left owed at this point.

it's probably something like $600k range left.

 

[PullHard]

I don’t think the confirmed signing thread is even a month old is it? Seems quick to me, but he isn’t a player you are going to go the distance with. A nice boost on the 4th line if he’s rotating in and out but not an everydayer. I’m still chuckling at the optimism of the Canucks fans thinking he’d stick with Petey all year and put up ~0.75ppg. It remains to be seen whether Pettersson himself will even do that this year.

You can, you just lose a blackberry

 

[Seatoo]

I thought he was decent but if we are clearing a little cap space and roster slot then sure

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Joshua coming back tomorrow and keeping Bains in the lineup.

 

[Nuckles]

The timing of this is weird. Boeser will probably miss some time due to the head shot, and Sprong provided some much needed offense and speed albeit in a depth role.

It only makes sense if they really want to call up Lekkerimaki, or Tocchet just hates him.

 

[Regal]

I thought you weren't allowed to trade freshly signed unrestricted free agents until January 1?

I think a one year deal just can’t be extended until Jan 1st?

I thought you weren't allowed to trade freshly signed unrestricted free agents until January 1?

Already happened this season when Colorado traded Brannstrom to Vancouver

 

[StickShift]

It’s weird how often teams let Sprong go.

 

[Scomerica]

Wonder if Sprong is the 13F in Seattle or if someone gets bumped out.

Bjorkstrand has been benched along with Kartye recently so they needed something.

Burakovsky has also looked cooked this season.

Kraken season is spiraling at the moment

 

[Bgav]

Joshua coming back tomorrow and keeping Bains in the lineup.

Bains is in the ahl. Rumor is Lekkerimäki is getting called up

It’s weird how often teams let Sprong go.

Sad, they just sprong him along

 

[Nogatco Rd]

lol I remember over the summer when he was a “top 10 value contract in the league”

 

[Turin]

Bro sucks, always has sucked. Such a niche player to try to find a place for him.

 

[canuckslover10]

I'm suprised Colorado didn't give him a shot considering their injuries.
