Frank Corrado thinks the negative stuff about Sprong is overblown.

Sprong is our new Kuzzy type project. :P

Sprong is basically Kuzmenko 2.0. I expect as much. Tocchet will have his frustrations with the player

Sprong said he had a chat with Tocc first b4 he signed her though. Sounds like the coaching staff are willing to give him a chance and kinda sold him on coming here. Tocc has a history with him in Pitts as well, so he knows what he's getting.

If Sprong can have a Kuzzy type year with us, it'll be found money. :D

I see the draw to sign the Sprongs and Kuzmenko's but these types of players evaporate when the battle levels rise.

Comparing Kuz and Sprong is ludicrous.

Daniel represents 20% of the investment cost with similarily achievable ROI.

Similar though to the contract Kuz was brought in on.

Both 1 year deals just under $1M, after which: UFA.

Let's just hope that... NO MATTER WHAT... they don't offer Sprong $5.5M x 2.

Hopefully they've learned their lesson.

If signing Kuzmenko to a short term contract sans trade protection and move him for an asset is mgmts most egregious error to date, they’re doin’ alright.

I'd bet my net worth Sprong at 5.5x2 in Vancouver doesn't happen next year.

Well Kuz + 1st + 4th + Brzustewicz + Jurmo... for rental Lindholm.

He had to add to the deal to dump Kuzmenko.

Would've been better off not signing Kuz to that $5.5M x 2.

Butt hind sight is 20/20.

I'm sure they won't repeat that mistake with Sprong, even if he explodes in Van.

They don’t need to, Sprong’s nothing but a placeholder for Lekkerimaki
