Surprised by this. Wish him all the best.

 

[DJJones]

Not surprised. Guy has a lot of characteristics people are looking for.

Could be interesting if he can get some time on a third line

 

[HighLifeMan]

He has the tools to be an effective bottom sixer, and showed that briefly under Sutter.

The past two years he has been stapled to Rooney who is arguably the worst player in the league, so I can see why SJ might think he find a niche at this level.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Bob Stauffer is happy that Duehr stays in the Pacific and he still gets to say his name multiple times each season.

 

[Boomstick]

Good luck. Always wished he chose #40 so he could be WD-40.
Liked him on the Flames, he was efficient, hope he does well in SJ.

 

[M2Beezy]

I called this

 

[Quinning]

One of my favorite names. His name is a familiar conundrum.

For those interested, this cost San Jose $56,250, paid to Calgary and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 22
Total compensation: $664,875

xGF - 42.55%
SCF - 38.59%

Happy trails Walker. Should have been Rooney.

Great wheels, hits stuff, decent wrister. Seems like a good dude. Not a ton there but of his 84 games he was useful in probably half of them. Huska and him didn't click very well I think.

TBF, San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league, so I'm sure he will be also be flanked by bad players in San Jose's bottom 6.

Good for him. He is one of those guys that has to be playing at 110% to be effective and that is hard

 

[Pinkfloyd]

TBF, San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league, so I'm sure he will be also be flanked by bad players in San Jose's bottom 6.

With Sturm going on IR, if he plays, he'll go on the 4th line and it'll be Goodrow-Dellandrea-Duehr so yeah...bad players but we need some bodies to finish the season after we rent out a few forwards at the trade deadline.

Hasn't had much of a chance since then. Lomberg - Rooney linemates have been getting destroyed by everyone recently.

 

[cwede]

when roster limits are lifted in 5 weeks, Grier flips him to contender as cheap depth F

Not likely. The Sharks need the depth forwards themselves.
