We have 13 forwards signed with like 3 prospects all on the brink of winning spots too. He signed with the team that will arguably be the hardest to win a roster spot from.

Apparently he makes the Bruins top 6 instantly because suddenly Eriksson sucks at hockey, somehow a solution with Smith and Krug won't be found and playing Hockey East is the same as the NHL.

Boston logic...

oooooh, try again. That fell flat.

Why are Rangers fans always the most sensitive people, ever?

Said the same thing when they thought Boston was an option, yikes, remove tampons please.

Eriksson's bounce back ability, or lack there of, is going to be huge for the Bruins this season.

If he does bounce back, Boston's top six will be fine, but if he doesn't, Iginla's loss is going to be felt in the lineup.

What's the over/under on you cracking a funnier joke than this?

Wasn't a joke, it was a question.

I think he has an similiar/equal chance as Kristo, Miller, and Fast in terms of making it out of camp. Competition is there, but im sure Miller has the inside edge and Hayes going down to the AHL for more development.

You didn't feel better. In fact you came on here crying like a four year old that everybody was a meanie for not moving mountains to accommodate your second family, the Saint Loo-Ee's.

Honestly I think you have brought this up every day since it happened. I think you need more Isles news. Did I thank you for sending San Jose a draft pick so we can sign Dan Boyle? Sorry if I forgot to.

Hashtags aside, it really is awesome rooting for a team that players actually want to play for.

Does that make life easier for you to handle? If it does I'm all for it.

Yeah, but do you want to.

not really, we are engaging in sports talk here. Hockey specifically. Try and keep up.

It absolutely BLOWS MY MIND that fans of the Rangers are actually excited that they are getting a kid who:

- Has had previous issues with the law in the past

- A kid who didn't want to sign a contract because the Hawks said they weren't going to hand him a spot in the opening day lineup

No one is curious why a supposed "elite" prospect wouldn't want to play on a consistent Stanley Cup contending team, with the best talent in the league? Most kids would be fawning at the opportunity to play with the Hawks. Oh wait.. we know why he isn't. He'd actually have to EARN a spot.

A kid who was brought up with things being given to him, who thinks things should be handed to him. Yup. That's the type of player I want on my team!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out kid...

ah I mean in general lol.... Always the first ones to whine and be sensitive about stuff. Just is what it is.

I think its a great signing, low rish with very high potential reward.

You did, but I appreciate the courtesy again.

How could I not bring such a selfless act of heroism like standing up for Mar-Tan Saint Loo-Ee up constantly? I was so proud of your bravery in the face of message board danger.

Be careful. He may organize another "war" against Islander fans.
