Re-signed Alec Richards (a bit of a surprise to me), David Meckler, and Rob Klinkhammer...

Meckler is a winger whom excited alot of people by tearing up the OHL in 1 season with the knights when he was 20 and has since had 3 very average seasons in the AHL and most had simmered on this average across the board prospect.

Gotta look at it as just depth I suppose as well as Richards as having a goalie at the lower levels and backup what if scenario guy. Klink is a fighter but still a project in terms of a skilled hockey player to me...

All hoe-hum moves but worth noting to make sure everyone is up to date...

Who the heck is going to be on the 3/4 blue lines???? Sign some one already SB!

After letting Campoli go, I thought they signed Sammy Lepisto to be on the 3-4th D line.
TGibson (1/28/17); "..."a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 for drama"...What's the worst? "...yelling matches with Thibs, everybody is just going crazy and I'm just sitting there...like, 'Don't call my name please..."

I totally missed that as it came on the day Frolik re-up'd. Thanks! Sami would be a better armani ad-boy then a top 6 blue liner but as a depth need he is a nice addition. Plug him into the campoli spot. Thanks!!! Still need another vet to me (his 150 career games and 20something pts do not make me worry less).

wow on the sharpie news.... not sure how i feel about this to be honest

3 year extension and id be fine with it... this is TOOOO long. He'll be late 35 ugh.

It ties up a ton of cap flexability and I don't care for it...
