How do you hire Torts and then go and get this guy. It’s like you don’t even know who you hired
- ClaudeFather

Why are many assuming Tort and him will not get along or what not? Both probably cut from the same cloth in many ways.

Whining about signing a guy who could not find a team because he's such an ass**** is not excessive.

Or virtue signaling.

I have nothing against the kid and hope he works out
- THE BLACK HAND

He's got all of the tools needed to succeed. If he hits his ceiling then it's a fantastic pick! If he ends up as 2C then it's a good pick. Anything below that and I blame the franchise development staff for the failure

When Tony D comes into this losing atmosphere he will be interesting to watch. Guy is easily frustrated and has a short fuse. So we gave up two 2nds a third and a 4th for the difference of what Ghost brought and what Tony brings...brilliant

Not thrilled with the trade, but we can easily get back 2nd and 3rd round picks in 2024. If they were next years draft I would have been far more upset

Isn’t he known as a racist?
- SuperSchennBros


Racist, homophobic behaviour is well documented. Welcome aboard Tony D! Crackling lad. He's mega, ace human all the way.

They are staggered over the next three years. The second is 2024, 3rd in 2023 and 4th this year.

Yeah he has a reputation as a racist but he's not really a racist from what I can tell. He is, however, a huge dumbass.

LTIR for the remainder of the contract, the first legal day of the season, just like Pronger except contract is not an over 35.
- RajaAmpat



Ellis is eligible to be placed on off season LTIR.

- PLindbergh31



His incident in junior was anti-Semitic in nature. Not that that makes it better. It's not. Just a little different I guess?

Either way he's gross and I'm glad he's not a Cane anymore.

Is that the goal, drafting and NHL player? I would like top of lineup players, especially with 1st rounders. How many 1st round picks did Hextall draft?
- bradster


I know, you just want "sharks with fricking laser beams." Too bad we hired a former professional athlete as GM and not someone with your competitive juices and hockey acumen. LOL

I don't have a problem with the player. I have a problem with how our FO handled last year and this year and the price for a right to sign a guy.

Once again the draft picks being over valued. Soon to be 27 year old Dman in his prime.
- hello it's me 2050

I am 100% on board and happy with signing Tony D

He is in his prime and has risen his game . I am excited to have him on our blue line next season.
The ONLY worry I have is torts and Tony D not getting along. Outside of that I love this signing

Nope, he is a good hockey player. Nice guy. That is why. Anything else you want to know?
