Salacious Crumb Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 We are the 29th least desirable destination out of 30. Whatcha gonna do - even Gretzky had slumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we just use our own guys and forget about crap left over scraps from other teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Even if he signed here I didnt expect more than Linden Vey 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I honestly thought he was a good option but am equally convinced we can stay 'in-house' and give our own guys opportunity. I think this sends the right message to our prospects anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yakapov and gange then and those two are the poster boys for poorly executed rebuilds so they fit perfectly into the "plan" id like to see yakapov with van at only 23 he's still has a chance. And he fits the age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 45 minutes ago, Ossi Vaananen said: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Weal apparently waited until after visiting Vancouver (Wednesday) before deciding to re-sign with Philly. That suggests that his choice was probably between Vancouver and Philly and that he did not really like what he heard when he visited Vancouver. Or at least he did not like it enough. He would have been a good guy to sign. Others have noted the similarity of his track record to Linden Vey. It is similar, but better, and Vey was close to being a valuable player -- but he is the kind of guy who has to be top 6 or else he is not very valuable, and he was not quite good enough for the top 6. Weal has a better shot at being a legitimate top 6 and he is also more valuable in the bottom 6. So I am disappointed in not signing him. I liked him because he was young enough (just turned 25) to be part of a rebuild (i.e. still good 3 or 4 years down the road). I am not that enthusiastic about signing guys over 27 and certainly not over 30 as they are not likely to contribute to the rebuild unless they can be traded for picks or prospects at the deadline.
