I think we're going to need to have Mods be the only people that can start threads.

This should be a VERY GOOD signing (depending on the money obviously)...and I absolutely cannot stand Ohlund.

I'd say wait until we see the dollar amount, this is Tampa Bay afterall. Lawton may not really know fair vaue for a defenseman, given he's only familiar with signing forwards. Since it's Tampa management, maybe there was no tampering, maybe it was just a ridiculous starting offer.

Everyon is saying it's great, wait on the dollars and years to come out, first. If it's any sweeter than Oduya's deal, I don't think it's all that great.

In this case, I don't think Vancouver would mind. WE knew he was gone 3 months ago.

Perfect move on tb half. A swedish vet that can help Hedman. Great move. It will leave a huge hole on the Vancouver blue line

That would be awful for a player that's declined as much as Ohlund.

He's on the decline but he's still more than just a 3rd pairing.
He can still put up 25 minutes solidly. 30 minutes if needed.
