Enough with the arbitrary site re-directs to your "advertisers" Eklund...especially those that have their content blocked by my security team at work. I get you need to make money, but come on. At least re-direct to appropriate content if it needs to happen...

Any way to buy a seasons ticket to stop this and not have that mark of shame reflected on your profile?!?

According to CapGeek, he is not waiver exempt:

Hmm didn't realize that.

Frankly, Donovan seems likely to be one of the guys shipped out as part of a deal if we make one. With Pulock hot on his heels and Brennan signed as a purely offensive defenseman, Donovan is kind of expendable. He had a decent first (part of a) year in the NHL, not great, not terrible.

If you do buy a season ticket, be warned that it's set to auto-renewal and you cannot access it from this site...you have to cancel the renewal through paypal

I'm not going to lie to you - I have no idea who he is.

But just looking at the stats, he seems kinda Franson-like - low overall TOI, but a bit of PP time where he can get a few assists.

There's a ton of young defencemen out there who know how to put up points.

The key is finding a guy who can also play defence.

“I have made a decision to break up our engagement. There are a lot of reasons, but I wouldn’t want to go in detail. I’ll say just that our relationship is over, but I respect Sasha as a person and an athlete and sincerely wish him athletic success in the future."

Probably because you called him Sasha during sex.

if a team likes Cody Franson, they like him. then they look at his salary and see if he's worth it. they don't just look at a guy and say "he has value because he's less overpaid than another player". there is a separation of player and salary when evaluating a player. there has to be.
- DoubleDown



I think that's what I was saying - they look at players relative to the salary. To put it another way, if a GM is looking for PP help on the blue line for the playoffs they will take a look at Franson at that $

He has a bit of a way to go before he hones in his defensive game. There's potential there to be a good offensive defenseman. I think some team out there would like to pick him up. He certainly won't bring back a game-changer but he could be a decent piece in a trade.

"The original Russian spelling of Alexander was Alexsandr, and that spelling is still very popular there, so they took the Sa and added a -sha ending, to make Sasha."
