Trizzak Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I am whelmed with him coming back, but I'm sure Julien was calling Bergevin 4 times a day asking him if Nate had signed yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the contract wasn't done sooner because Bergevin had to convince Nate that it wasn't THAT weird to finalize the deal by holding hands with Julien and skipping through a spring meadow while singing 'Happy Together'...

PMAC Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Cheap depth Insurance. If one of the young guys excels in camp, he will be gone faster than you can spell “ Tomas Plekanec” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I like this deal. He was a pretty good fit on the fourth line and he provides some cheap insurance for the penalty kill and at the faceoff dot. If he can take a bit of the faceoff pressure off Danault as he did down the stretch, that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 At least Julien doesn't think Thompson is a powerplay specialist, like he apparently does for Weal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in junior and in the AHL, Weal was a major power play threat. He actually was decent on the man advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think you noted that we only saw the 'good Weal' at end of year (10pts in 16gms) and likely wont continue at that pace. But, like Weise 1st tour with Habs, hopefully Weal finally found a situation to do well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineral Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 @dlbalr - FYI, Nate is still listed as a UFA on the Free Agent Lists and not includes in the Recent Transaction section on the main homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low risk, and won't use up future cap space (which may be less plentiful than it is today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
