Jake McCabe and Derek Forbort are getting more $ per season and they are not like any better.. I'm confident Poolman under the right coaching/environment should do fine for us!
I am so curious to see what the bidding war was like for Poolman!! Did any teams offer at least $2M or JB was in panic mode to just offer more and close the deal ASAP?? Well, let's just hope he'll have a bounce back year to prove doubters wrong!!
Wait what???? How's that fair though?? I swear I have seen his name on a Rangers jersey not too long ago.. and he gets a 2-way deal while this Keeper kid gets 1-way???? Hmmmmmmm....
This guy had one above average season in 19-20... and I'm guessing JB saw something real special in this guy to commit 4 years at $2.5M AAV?? I see that he's played one season with Myers.. so I wonder if Myers gave us some endorsement...
Well.... let's give them some credit.. at least he's not some obscure career minor leaguer or someone 'discovered' from the Swiss league...
Gosh.. I really feel sorry for those Coyotes fans.... their team is like a blackhole now sucking in ANY junk contracts.... do they have that much confidence all those picks accumualted one of which will turn out to be McDavid and McKinnon in the near future?
Exactly... and too bad we are not getting Kulikov who speaks perfect English too... and I don't think either Gusev or Anisimov is a fit... so will be interesting to see if we are getting a Russian player...
Can somebody tell JB to slow it down a bit?? CDC can't handle over a dozen transactions on just Day 1 of free agency lol..... looks like he just wanna sign up all the bodies for Abby today and then take the rest of summer off!
Well... what else did you expect JB to do?? He got no takers in trades... so I don't understand why you think JB did Holtby a favour... he did the team favours by cutting loses early to reclaim more cap space!
Personally, I always prefer keeping 2 extra forwards.. it just offers more flexibility... why can't we keep the extra D-man that can cover both left and right? We got 12 forward spots to rotate with compared to 6 in defense...
Ya man.. I would have no issue giving Schenn one-way deals as he's proven in the NHL and serves as a great reserve D-man to help out... and what is Burroughs supposed to do for us?? Abby depth?
Oh crap... are we really paying this guy $2.5M??? now that's a bit over an overpayment for some guy who's not as good as Hamonic!! OK JB... he's back to his old self again LOL....
Very happy with this Poolman signing!! still young, great size RHD, OK in +/-.... had a very decent season the year before... I'd take him over Schenn, yes please!!
