Kendrick 4,741 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just now, Advantage said: No that is true. But they are a lineup that desperately needs goals and a scary talent up front...Alexander Radulov can provide that. Oh no way anyone can deny his goal scoring ability, its the personality he has to adjust and maybe he will. Word from the KHL is that he hasn't really changed it since the last NHL experience. Lots of questions, we'll see. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advantage 2,901 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Also @Kendrick been actually reading a lot from some if the main KHL reporters and some fans of the team he was on, that he has been all about the team for the last few years..pretty well since settling down family wise.

It sounded like he was the same piece of shit who was in Nashville, but like I said we'll see. Of course fans will be juiced any time a free agent signs, so well see what the reaction is half way through the season.

Knight 1,294 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's a one-year deal. That's about as low a risk as you can take. Great signing from MON in my humble opinion.

Radulov had amazing skill in Nashville as well, what happened there? This guy is a cancer and he is a Alex Semin with a bit more skill, 5x the salary and a worse personality. You clearly did not watch the sportsnet insider thing on Radulov lol. Please embarrass yourself more.

Higgins 3,618 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Did anyone suffer through watching a good chunk of NJ Devils games last season? 2.1m/year for David Schlemko in San Jose seems like an overpayment but he will be playing 3rd pairing with Brendon Dillon so I ain't too mad Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its an overpayment as 2.1 M in this market is relatively low. I think he got paid on the grounds that he is an established NHL player, but not one that will improve or weaken your lineup. I'm not the biggest fan of him and he won't provide you with any offence. Most of his points in his career are assists, which isn't bad but he doesn't generate a lot of opportunities in the other end. Defensively he isn't the best but he won't be a total liability. I thought SJ could have got someone like Demers back. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he has to have better foot speed than Polak who he is replacing Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the fastest players in the league and Sharks clearly got speed dominated by the Pens a few weeks ago so it is a good fit for Boedker He turned down a 5 year 5.5 million dollar extension from Arizona before being traded at the deadline so he definitely took a pay cut to come here. Probably one of the best deals of the day along with Campbell to Chicago in terms of dollar value.

Gooningitup 1,290 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Colbourne had to be the worst cap hit for player value.

boubabi 4,725 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Boedker took a pay cut because he sucked in colorado and is another carl hagelin, at most Edited July 2, 2016 by boubabi Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will help the 2nd PP and definately an upgrade as DeBoer likes to run all 4 lines. Likely fits in on the second line with Couture and Donskoi. Im sure a lot of teams would love Boedker at 4 mill Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31670-2016-2017-nhl-discussion/page/7/#findComment-354870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
