Gawdzukes Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 1 minute ago, wai_lai416 said: only thing good about it is it's only for 1 year... he was healthy scratched often in the regular season and most of the playoffs.. 1.9mil?? prolly should have been 1mil for a guy that's not even good enough to stick in the regular lineup all season I think the guys on the Sportsnet panel were saying he was coming off injury and had a down year. I've liked his game whenever I watched the Penguins. He's been over 50% on draws the last 4 years and takes about 500 draws a year. @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME says he was performing at a $3-$5 million dollar rating the previous 3 years prior to last. Sid knows his stuff. It's only for one year though like you said and he's so much better than Dries ... adds a bit of pedigree as he is used to playing for a winner. I think that helps as our bottom 6 has so little in terms of experience or pedigree. He's a guy we can build a real 3rd line off of. From good ol google Blueger is also an elite penalty killer. Over the last three NHL seasons he's one of 56 forwards who have logged 300 or more penalty kill minutes. Blueger's goals-against-per-60-minutes at 4v5 ranks fourth in the NHL over that time. I think he's exactly what the doctor ordered despite whatever the funny charts say. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolexSub Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Don't know much about this player but let's hope he is what he says he is going to be...speedy..energy...shut down defensively...and has the occasionally offensive touch!! If he is all that then this is a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd LOVE Sundqvist, but we probably don't have the cap for him, unless maybe we move off Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they can outright win the spot in training camp. Ya know, how it should be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm with you. Definitely hope he is good enough too. I don't think we need points from our third line as much as we need a match up line. Petey and Miller et al can handle the scoring. Ideally you want a more high profile guy but of course our spending is limited. I don't think we have any more money and Aman is centering the fourth line. I think he's got to be the 3c doesn't he? I guess if we move Myers to SJ as suggested we could maybe add another guy. I don't know I think I like the signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Blueger looks to basically be the Chris Tanev of centre. Very excited to see how he shapes our PK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious perhaps he pushes Dries to Abby and maybe we can add a righty C like Bjugstad or maybe Compher for 3c if we move some money out via Myers/Beauv/ Garland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
