Pears Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I could see this line up if we sign Doan and trade Luongo+ for Weiss Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Doan - Kesler - Kassian Booth - Weiss - Higgins Desbiens - Lapierre - Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Finally gillis gets us our 2nd line playmaker we need.! So stoked to see him set up kes and booth, not to mention smash somE bodies. If anything he will be a good mentor to kassian. Teach him how to play the game the way a big guy should.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consciouscanadian Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Anybody that fights knows you don't make a fist that way, and I am sure this wasn't his first one. He probably made the fist like that so he can collect an NHL salary instead of being sent down.... Edit: I just saw on the PITB link that someone else thought the same thing.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Pretty useless signing. He didn't do much when he was a Canuck so I'm not sure why we're going back to him now unless scouting saw something we didn't. He's way below guys like Volpatti, Pinizotto and Weise on the depth chart so shouldn't have to play an NHL game next season. I seriously hope this isn't to replace Bitz.

Gonz Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 they don't resign Rypien (RIP) but they sign Desbien a year later? He must be the missing piece for their 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck'nAnimal Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I hope Desbiens has a career year and proves you nay-sayers wrong. HONK HONK1!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You're at 9998 for posts. You should wait until we sign Bitz for your 10,000th. Seriously~!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think it's a good signing. Put pressure on guys competing for the 4th and a decent AHLer. That's one side the other is his career last year came off track and now he's back in familiar territory. This is probably as he knows almost his last chance to get time in the show. He knows that nucks will at least give him a fair shot. What the nucks are getting come training camp is one very motivated player. It's a zero risk with some potential payback for the nucks if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's what he's asking. The only way he's leaving the desert is if a team meets his quote of 4 years and $30-million. He might not end up getting that much, but he's also perfectly fine staying in the desert for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Last year alone: He fought Boll. Bissonnette. Clowe. Name someone besides Kassian who could do that? And we got room for contracts. We're not pushing 50 this year. Excellent depth signing. He's also very good at the AHL level (although he is coming off a bad year). Someone to protect our young guys and potentially help the club offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinkil Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Do we have to break this signing down to the point where we say it's bad because he didn't make a proper fist in one fight? Sh!t CDC..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'd rather give a prospect a sniff and try and get them improving instead of temporary no skill players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
