Solid signing. Always liked his game when he was with the Jets. Played a solid defensively sound game and very effective in his own zone. Can chip in offensively as well. He has the potential to be a Tanev like player and still rather young

1pt in 39 gp, don't hold your breath on that offensive help...

Would CDC have preferred Ceci at the 4x$3.25 EDM gave him?

really?

1st pairing RHD : Harmonic

2nd pairing RHD  Myers

3rd pairing RHD  Poolman or Rathbone.

 

depends on how good Rathbone is. If Rathbone is ready to go he will play on the third pairing and Poolman being the 7 D-Man

Wait... what? Doesn't Rathbone play on the left side?

 

Hughes Hamonic

OEL Poolman

Rathbone/OJ Myers

Oh terrible signing, way too much.                                    Then in  thesame damn post            they admit "don't know much about him".

 

Can't comment on him                                                       Then in the same damn post            but reminds me of other bad deals.

 

Sad.

I didn't know much about Tim Schaller either but it seemed high then....

Sedins obviously approved this so I’m good!

All the same, I have to see how it plays out. 

Honestly I ain’t going to whine about this until I see him play. Could turn out to be a bargain. Or we cry cause he makes 2.5 lol not a big deal imo 

[Nicklas Bo Hunter]

he is much better than Ceci

 

[Sharpshooter]

Solid depth signing

[Petey Castiglione]

Benning giving everyone something this offseason.  Now we have something to complain about!

 

 

[Dixon Ward]

I am happy that JB didn't go overboard and didn't even use up the Schmidt money to sign 2 solid NHL RHD.  Both will make us better than we were 2 hours ago.  I will reserve judgement on Poolman, don't know enough about him, but he's a Canuck now so Go Poolman Go!

Oleksiak's deal raised the tide a bit I think. 

Yeah he’s signed at half the price. Is Okeksiak worth almost $5 million?  He’s barely a top 4 Dman. 

[billabong]

It’s in line with the other D signing elsewhere 

 

that 4th year might suck but hopefully he comes in just eats pucks and gets the puck out 

[EternalCanuckFan]

My recollection is that Poolman is more in the mold of Tanev than he is a Savard/Hamonic.  Will be interesting see the D pairs heading into the season.

[ShawnAntoski]

Was he regularly paired with Frobert or as the forum calls him Fartboy; so no more turd pairing for the Jets ?

 

Good value and cap for a player at his stage of the career & age.

Based on how many pages this has hit. I predict Poolman will be the guy that is dumped on all year.

 

Prove 'em wrong kid!

And there goes GMJB's streak......

[WHL rocks]

Don't mind the 2.5 mill for 6D.

 

But term is too long by 1 year.

 

 

[Outsiders]

Poolman is better than he showed last year. Right shot D are at a premium. If this is Benning's worst contract of this off season lets take it and run. You can move Poolman if he doesn't work out. After seeing what guys like Ceci (3.5mill), Forbert (POS that jumped Hoglander 3mill) got Benning did fine here. Not great, but fine
