So we basically traded Greer for Lomberg. I'd rather Greer myself... Can fight. Lomberg fights too I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Frk is a prolific scorer at the AHL, never was able to do it at the NHL. Once put up a 109.2mph slap shot at the AHL all star skills competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manu12 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I liked the Greer pickup last season, played really well until he got injured. Thought he didn't look quite the same after he came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBurn Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I do not like the Lomberg signing. 5'9" on a bottom line. Really would have liked to put that towards Sammy Blais (grit) and Alex Nylander (project/competition). He is also not the type of player that can be used as a trade chip so no market flexibility.

cross16 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Frk gives the Wranglers some punch and some roster flexibility if you get injuries. Makes sense. really talent player too just can’t seem to figure it out in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem to matter in Florida under Quenneville and Maurice and a cup. Conroy and Huska know him very well. So you may be incorrect in your assessment. He'll be your fave guy next year. All heart.

And I think guys like that are needed as we continue the youth movement, or whatever you wanna call it,and probably be more of a bottom team.

Zero chance to be an NHLer without BT giving him half a shot. His attitude is just infectious. He's the happiest guy for everyone else. In return, when he does something positive, the whole team is lit. He'll be a fave, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 1 hour ago, MP5029 said: I would not say this team is better than Mlt…but I tend to agree, this is a bottom 5-10 team, its being built much like Dal, where it’s trending towards a good young team that could sneak in but probably won’t. im not sure if this is Conroy’s way of disguising a rebuild with an effort on some ok players…definitely seems like a transitional team from old to young…being phased in over the next 2-3 years with some emphasis on being semi-competitive if they were really trying the would have had a guy like Roslovic or Wenneberg signed probably the best options for Ctr if you were pushing to be a playoff team and lack in that area which we do. There is come competition for C's. Rossy went to SJS. This is what a team looks like when you sell off major assets in one year, right after we lose two top players. I would say we are more a spoiler than a bottom 5 team. Closer to 10-14, just that's just me, since the league gives you wins you don't expect. Wild cards in nets. Wolfie could steal the show, if the D protects the net better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he gets a lot of time in the NHL, but that's a guy that works hard. Didn't give up just playing in the AHL. Went away for a year, but they must have kept tabs on him.

First, it's obvious that you have existing term so you have the chance to evaluate him before you make any decisions. He does well he will want more money. Does that make sense. He does poorly, his value is lower and you can just flip him or offer him less mid year. Second, leaving him as a pending UFA makes him very tradeable. Only gives you decent value if he has a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
