Love this deal, 2 consecutive 40 point seasons for under a mil.
Chef’s cooking again
Absolutely zero complaints here.
Adds significant depth scoring for near league minimum
Simon and Theodore, sorry but, Allvin is no longer one of your chipmunks.
Sprong jersey in the mail 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🦁🦁🦁🦁
Chef cooked
Great value, low risk contract with high upside.
Don’t love his defensive game but at that price it’s a fucking steal
Amazing signing
What a contract. 43 pts for less than a million is great. Easy to outplay that contract
Babe wake up, new tocchet doghouse player just dropped
Sadly this looks like curtains for Podkolzin then. He quite literally doesn’t have a spot in the lineup anymore. He was battling for the 12th forward spot before we signed Sprong, and we can’t waive him because he certainly will be claimed.
Wonder if he’ll be good with garland blueger in lower risk minutes. Don’t expect him to get a lot of trust under tocchet but more competition for roster spots is a great thing, especially for someone like podkolzin. If he can’t beat sprong for a spot under tocchet then he probably hasn’t earned a spot on the team
Daniel Sprong the kind of guy who would be 3 on 1 with prime Gretzky and Lemieux, look them both off and snipe it.
Hilarious steal.
Detroit signed him for 2 million last July 1st as a UFA…
…he had a good season and then we sign him for less than half of what he signed for just a year ago.
Sweet deal!
22-23 goal scorer per 82 over the last 2-3 seasons
[what to expect from his game.](https://youtu.be/NHE0VW8kQqo?si=b8eTHSlec4-nZuRi)
whoa weird, I was just looking at his stats last night. I’ve heard he conflicting reports that’s he’s good on the PK but also lazy on defense? I mean I guess both could be true.
unreal signing. Im hoping this means we can move garland into the top 6 and run something like. Debrusk petey garland, hog miller boeser, joshua bleuger sprong, heinin suter podz.
Under 1M? Hell yeah!
I wanted this guy all offseason, let’s go!!!
Heinen Miller Boeser
Debrusk Petey Hog
Joshua Blueger Garland
Sherwood Suter Sprong
PDG Podkolzin
I guess you see if Sprong can fit into the team with his defensive issues but this makes Podkolzin‘s future more interesting:
– He could either have a good camp and force Sprong or Sherwood out.
– He could fail to progress again this putting him on waivers
– Management could use him now as a trade chip to upgrade at wing or at RHD.
For sure going to try him in the bumper on PP1 with his release
Low risk experiment
I thought he was good when he played with the Kraken. Hoping that a return to the Salish Sea will be good for his game.
Hoglander Pettersson DeBrusk
Heinen Miller Boeser
Joshua Suter Garland
Sherwood Blueger Sprong
Why so cheap? Guy has been putting up points, no?
Before everyone says this is a slam dunk, Sprong’s had bad concussion problems. Obviously wish him the best but something to know when evaluating his season. He is really talented though and can absolutely snipe
Now it’s time to get Sprong
So many forwards now surely one of them is being shipped out for a top 4 d-man
Get ready to learn backchecking buddy.
So let me get this straight, we got a guy who has the scoring ability of an elite player but literally cannot play defense if his life depended on it? Is that accurate?
Doesn’t seem like the type of player that tocchett would work well with?
