Surprised Daniel Sprong wasn’t qualified.

Scored 21 goals for the Kraken in only 66 games. Had a shooting percentage in the 14s which is highish but still useful.

I don't get it at all. Only played 11:25 per game, and averaged 2.5 shots a game. Even with a little regression on shooting percentage, he's still extremely useful as a depth guy.

Maybe the expectation is that he was going to demand a big raise and they were better off finding a cheap replacement? We'll see where he ends up - he's definitely someone I'd have interest in if I was in Holland's shoes. He was only $1.5MM last year so at that he is great value for the money.

Does he have arbitration rights? Just thinking this through, maybe Seattle was worried they'd be forced in to a contract they couldn't afford.

You mean like Yams? He was signed to avoid an arbitration ruling that probably would have been higher than what they signed him for. Yet, you don't seem to account for that in Yamamoto's case , instead just being critical of Holland for signing him at the $3M+ value . Given your comments above, would you rather the Oilers have traded him just when he seemed to be hitting his stride, so to speak?

I don't think I was praising this from Seattle, was I?

It's interesting to see a bunch of teams walking from players who have arb rights this year - we haven't seen a lot of that in the past, and it steps up UFA status for these guys, but suggests that the teams believe the arbitration numbers have been too high. It's interesting that they're not even making that case though to the arbitrator.

I'm amused to see how many people are irritated about the Yamamoto thing, especially given that I've been relatively muted in my criticism of the specific trade - saying very specifically that it could be a lot worse. As it is, it's a weird trade where neither GM did well in the end! And arguably, Yzerman does worse if Kostin either doesn't sign or signs at an inflated number. So there you go, if not losing as much as the other guy is a win, then Holland just won a trade!

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
