Actually....Seravelli said the Kraken are leaning towards taking Appleton (which i'm fine with). And this tweet may have cemented that
.
I wish Ron Francis was our GM (he's won multiple cups with 2 different franchises).....Cheveldayoff is a freaking hack.
That Larsson contract is an excellent piece of business, especially considering the very nature of FA usually invites overpayment. Four years at 4 mil per for a rock solid second pairing defensive defenseman is a nice job out of the gate. I'm surprised, considering yesterday everyone was saying he was going to re-up with Edmonton for a similar term and price.
Re: Francis, I know he was a legendary player, but he didn't win those cups as an executive. His time with Carolina was mediocre.
It'd be an absolute boon if the Jets can avoid losing DeMelo.
I'd actually love to see the Devils take a run at Stasny, but I have a feeling he's destined to remain in the Peg.
