Doesn't matter what we get for Eichel now

[DarthEbriate]

Execute Order 44. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

[Norcal]

Guess he wants to be here

[I-90 W]

Well at least he knows Cozens has his back 👊 

[Curt]

This is fine.  I hope all of the FA signings are not like this.

Guys like Caggiula are smart to take the first deal offered.

The Athletic did a calculation where they figured about 50 UFAs are going to be out of a job when the wheel stops spinning.

Didnt make much of an impression on me, but he bumps Eakin out of the 4C spot for the time being and that can’t be a bad thing.

Am I mis-remembering again, I thought he played LW for us??

I like Caggiula, another cast off ready for our castoff crew party.  Now we need Kahun, Donato, Suter and Rafferty.

As a refresher:

Caggiula led the University of North Dakota to the NCAA championship in 2016 and was named the most outstanding player at the Frozen Four after scoring four goals with one assist in two games. Two of those goals came in the third period of North Dakota's 5-1 victory against Quinnipiac in the title game.

That was the exclamation point on a season when Caggiula had 25 goals (fifth most nationally) and 51 points (eighth) in 39 games. So it was no surprise that several NHL teams pursued Caggiula once he had finished his senior year and was able to field contract offers.

He wasn't very good last season, so ya I guess this is ok given expectations. Hopefully 13th F but not sure about that

I think so too. I think our base to finish was often:

Skinner Reinhart Olofsson

Asplund Mitts Thompson

Bjork Cozens R2

Caggiula Sheahan Reider

But he is listed as a centre.

To be fair, almost no one was very good. I don’t really remember much of his game, but he put a few points up every season. Somewhere around 20 is how it averages out.

[Thorner]

Hasn't played more than 55 games in 4 years. Is there some injuries in there or is it mostly scratches?

Tank is on 

[PerreaultForever]

Oh yay, we have our 1C.

[Claude Balls]

Pfft.....the first of the 10 guys KA will sign for $750,000 like he did last off season. Guess the Risto trade is gonna be the highlight of the off season.

Well, Adams did say he didn't want to bring in guys that would take ice time from the kids.  This signing is right in line as the only guy likely to lose ice time because of this signing might be Eakin.

[Doohicksie]

I feel nothing

Stanley Cup sealed!
