GG Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap. That looks like the reception area. They didn't want to let him into the offices prior to signing the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That looks like the reception area. They didn't want to let him into the offices prior to signing the contract. Because he has his skates on... They would cut up the rug or leave marks. ;-) ;-) This Hudson guy is all work! :-) They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap. And if you notice... This looks like it was signed in Minn. He's @ the University of Minnesota. No? 111 players played in the NHL that went to University of Minnesota, ie: "Golden Gophers." Is he 111 or 112... Seems like they have an easily chargeable counter... They must pump out the NHL players there. Wasn't Vanek a Gopher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 @BuffaloSabres Eichel on Fasching signing: He's a real good player. Know him pretty well as a person & a player. Sent him a text last night; he's excited. Coach Bylsma says the plan is to get Hudson Fasching practicing with the team later this week and go from there.

bbb Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What happened to that kid we signed a few years ago after his college season was over, in a similar way. He was from San Diego, which was getting a lot of publicity, and played pretty good, I thought. But, I have no idea who he is or what happened to him.

shrader Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 How many Raleigh based folks going tonight? I'm there. I don't know where I'm sitting yet though because my brother bought them. He said something like 13 rows up. What happened to that kid we signed a few years ago after his college season was over, in a similar way.
