CoachAV Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Lets Sign Matt Gilroy, he will be cheap and add depth to our defensive core. even if we have to sign him to a one way contract we can send tanev down, which i wouldnt want to do but ballard just doesnt cut it for me Trade him.

Tigs Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Didn't he just get traded to Ottawa? And is already under contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshinefe Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 His stats seems pretty decent... but it looks like he missed a ton of games the last few seasons? Injury troubles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_trevor16 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Wasnt MG interest in him before? wonder if he is interest in him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoreline74 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'd say sign him for depth. I'm pretty comfortable for now with our pairings of: Hamjuice Edler/Garrison Tanev/Ballard Tanev and Ballard looked pretty good at the end of the season/playoffs. And now that there's no Rome, Ballard will get the minutes he deserves to develop into what he was signed here for. I say give him a chance. I used to be anti-Ballard before I realized how little he actually gets played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linden's_Forgotten_Son Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hasn't completed a full season in his Nhl Career, has been on three teams in four years, two big red flags IMO. I don't think we need a player with the body of Sami Salo and half of the skill. Plus he'd take away minutes from Ballard and Tanev, who both deserve a year to showcase their abilities.

needtogetswole Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks tips. Lets trade ballard and send Tanev down? Gilroy can play both sides haha. Gilroy is worse then Ballard or Tanev. Lets make are team weaker ah ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachAV Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 i was just saying i didnt want to send tanev down so if we were to get rid of ballard he would slot in there. i dont think gilroy would sign a 2way contract but if he would then definately sign him for depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Would be a very solid deth signing for a 7th/6th dman if he could remain healty. Not anything special, but makes the right plays and has a good presence on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 this is ballards year to stay healthy and play like a top 4 d man i wish av would give him some pp time. i thought he had a good playoffs and if he can stay healthy he will have a good season. altho i will agree that gilroy would be a decent 6/7 d man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
