What a f-ing surprise.

Let's go Blu.... Ah, (Frank) it.

I don't know about the best AHL team, but we'll clearly have the oldest.

Generally speaking, a team trying to 'build from within' doesn't jam the pipeline with with 30 year old 'good' minor league players without an ounce of of a 'prospect' remaining.

Just signing him as the 7th defenseman for call-ups, I think that's all it is: spot duty.

That's it, time to change our Forum name to Lets Go Rivermen.

[ViPeRx007]

Honestly, I'm surprised nobody has jumped on the opportunity to sponsor him.

At least Peoria is getting some vets. Outside of Arsene, Mink, Scatchard and Oystrick, It's gonna be a pretty young team. Alot of rookies.

[fargoblues]

Arsene? Is that like Backne only lower? ???

[BSNoseblunt]

Get his stick away from him Deaner!

[ohio BLUES]

Are the Blues just making up players' names now?

Yes, we signed Francisco Z. Koivu to a one year 3-way contract worth $eleventy billion. His stats are awesome and he'll be a sure star in Alaska for the ECHL. He'll play on a line with Charlie Brennan and John Q. Public.
