Chad LaRose Signed for One Year

And the Forums Rejoice!

and so do I.

Nice! Great news. With the D and signings to-date, I am now a content Caniac going into this season, even if a bit of $ still has to be freed. Love all of these 1-year contracts… these guys (and these heart-and-soul players in particular) have every incentive to go absolutely crazy on the ice this year.

Fair compensation here for LaRose- based on other Centers with similar points production last year. Here’s another Caniac pleased to hear of this signing. So we have a roster that can get into camp with possibly one D man yet to be traded out to save the $$ under the team imposed salary cap.
So what other threads can we spin here?? Trading Kaberle=Idunno?? Any thoughts or new info from round the league?
Did anyone get to the Rec Zone today to see conditioning camp? If so can you spill?

Welcome back Rosie!

Well at least we know who will run the music in the room now….Glad that Rosey came to his senses and signed a reasonable deal before arbitration….

Thank God! I cant wait for October!

WOOOOOO! You gotta love what this guy brings in energy on the cie and locker room presence. Glad to see you suiting up for the storm once more!

About time.

Here’s one for thought.

Larose, Sutter and Boychuck.

That would be the fastest, hardest working, highest energy line on the planet.

Boychuck is one slap shy of too fast to hit, Rosie plays his can off and isn’t afraid of swapping paint. If Sutter can fill the middle, he won’t be too far behing Boychuck on runs down and looks to know when to get back.

Ain’t no grinder line, but should scare helloutta every goalie in the league because that line may give up some runs, but they’d autograph some goalies with rubber.

Won’t happen, but I’d but Lavi dinner if chucked that group together even for one shift.

If you haven’t scene film on Boychuck picture Rosie’s effort, but twice as fast. Sutter looks good, too. He had crap team last year. Well, no, he was almost a one man team, he had little skilled help.

Anyway, yay Rosie. Be interesting how the 4th line plays out. I think he gets the most starts, swapping off with Brookbank when we need a bruiser. Sutter, I think get’s the same with maybe Jensen. The right Bayda, Nolan I hope get’s a good shot and maybe roll a big minute guy in like Williams for a shift here and there to really mess with the other benchs head.

I dunno, I hope we have a highly motivated team. This team always can play above the paygrade they are in. They just don’t always and when they are down, they are down.

BTW, I know Boychuck is a center, he shoots left so I stuck him on the right. I just really like that kid, he was a good pick.

Finally. We get The Chuck Norris of Hockey for at least one more season.
