i think he's our 3rd line center.

Not sure I get this move other than he his 6’5” and RH. Not good on FOs, and not even sure he is an upgrade to Sunny. I assume this means Faksa is gone. There needs to be more than this coming at forward for the current roster.

[WilliamWestcliffe]

Gross. Not a good start to the day. Not a fan of either moves so far.

[somni]

If he can duplicate the 23/24 season, yay! But not likely.

He's a center. They're in demand.

[sdaltons]

Not the guy I would have chosen but not a bad get. Huge and righty seems to be the new focus lol.

[thegibby.]

Is Armstrong still in charge or is this the autopen?

[WilliamWestcliffe]

Apparently Berglund was busy.

God I hope these aren’t Steens picks and a sign of what’s to come.

[SameOldBlues]

This one gets a puke and pass from moi. Im just not a fan of the over the hill crowd when we should be an up and coming youthful team. Yet last I looked our roster ranks in the middlish or older when it comes to average age.

Oh well, not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things as long as noone blocks Devo’s upcoming welcome to the NHL party.

I fear you may be right but will keep the hope alive that this isn't it.

Hopefully there is not more coming. Id like for us to be done. We can really screw this up.
We have the prospects. Lets see what they can do. Stay away from free agency, etc.
We need roster space--Roster flexibility.

Alexandrov was qualified. If he signs---he can play in the NHL right now. He deserves a shot.
Bjustad is a good signing.

[Frank Barone]

He is a short term placeholder for Dvorsky. Gotta think big picture here.

[sdaltons]

If this is for Faksa, I'd have preferred keeping Radek. Mostly because I liked the WTF line.

He is likely looking for 2-3 million on a multi-year deal.

That's out of our range.

I think he is the 4C. Based on what other Cs are making I’m going to guess Faksa became too expensive. There has to be another forward coming in, or Dvorsky is a bigger part of the immediate future than expected.
