sakiqc Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oh,that's great. Prefer that signing to the the Gilbert one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 $1.75 M, more than I thought he'd get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 $1.75 M, more than I thought he'd get. i thought $1.5M was his max. I guess added a bit for the quebec taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 i thought $1.5M was his max. I guess added a bit for the quebec taxes. Same here. With them saving a bit on the Gorges-Gilbert swap, it's a bit easier to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Price (no relation) Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Weaver for 1.75 is a great signing. He's reliable and fills the hole Josh Gorges left behind...maybe not quite as well, but he can do the job. Nobody else currently on the roster can.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I guess the idea is we replace Gorges by committee. Anyway, happy to have Weaver back. He's kind of a Gorges who can't skate or make an outlet pass (which Gorges was surprisingly good at). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So that leaves 1 spot for either Beaulieu or Tinordi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So that leaves 1 spot for either Beaulieu or Tinordi. I'm hoping that both will bump Gilbert and Weaver on the depth chart and hope that MT will give them a real shot to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm hoping that both will bump Gilbert and Weaver on the depth chart and hope that MT will give them a real shot to do so. I doubt it. Im sure RD will be Subban Gilbert Weaver to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Gilbert, Sekac, Weaver, Beaulieu, and Tinordi are all going to be jockeying for the last three spots on the blueline. One thing's for sure - it won't be boring. That Sekac was brought in to be an NHLer, as dlbalr notes, seems to speak to two things: Zoot Suit is much less confident in the Holy Trinity of Pateryn, Tinordi, and Beaulieu than many of the folks on this site; and that he recognizes that our bottom-3 needs work especially with Gorges traded for nothing but a pick. Therrien will have an interesting job to do in moulding this new D-corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Wait for it. One of the kids will be traded with Plex. Just a guess, but it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalhabs Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Am I missing something here? Eliteprospects.com has Sekac as a C/LW and here people seems to say he is a D. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=41014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalhabs Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sekac is RW LOL So if everyone is right in here Sekac is D,LW,C,RW. Can he play G too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sekac is RW Ha ha, looks like I really flubbed that one! I take it all back. If that's the case Sekac instantly becomes a great move for a franchise in substantial need of talent at W in the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case Sekac instantly becomes a great move for a franchise in substantial need of talent at W in the organization. The way people are inferring... seems he is a lock for a roster spot. 6'1 200 lbs. Looks like a mature Scherbak, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sekac is a LW, can also play a bit of C. Defence...not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sekac is a LW, can also play a bit of C. Defence...not so much. Well, that's even better! Makes Bourque more expendable than he already was.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It also sets us up better for an eventual move by Galchenyuk to C. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Same here. With them saving a bit on the Gorges-Gilbert swap, it's a bit easier to swallow. It's cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
