Johan Hedberg signs w/NJ #Devils. 1 yr. contract effective $1.5M including bonuses, no trade http://bit.ly/bIp6P7

I'd take that to back up Marty.

That's fine if anybody (including WGR) doesn't know who he is, but don't bash the signing if you have no idea.

Again, I'm not even close to celebrating the signing, but it's decent. It should at least shut some people up for 10 minutes or so.

He certainly is no worse than Lydman or Tallinder.

the guy had 11 goals last year...tallinder and lydman had 8 combined...savior? no. disaster? probably not.

I'm not bashing the signing...I'm just saying that it's a meh signing. No name player and not a big tough defenseman like we need. He's 6'1, 200 lbs.

Well apparently not with the reactions we are getting.

How's that?

That's the problem, don't focus on the name. Who cares what the name is. This isn't fantasy hockey.

Everyone *****ed all day that they did nothing, then they do something, and it's even worse. I love Buffalo.

He gives the PP an immediate boost. We didn't sign him to be a big tough defenseman.

It's a good signing for what it is. I highly doubt they are done.

When you compare his stats and size, he looks identical to Lydman.

Ouch! That's why the name seems kinda familiar. What a hit!

Re: NHL FA Thread

When you compare his stats, he looks like another Lydman.

Younger and probably cheaper too.

Re: NHL FA Thread

The signing is a good one, they needed a couple dmen, pair him with Myers and he will look a lot better.

3 years younger, but a little smaller size. Still not impressed, but it's better than nothing.
