NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2013 - Melnyk's Budget Edition

uh oh Corvo?

Funnily enough he's one if the best offensive d-men out there. A pp specialist too.


Still...an bunghole through and ghrough

He was awful in Boston.

Why would he come here after how he left?

Please let it be 1 year only.

Can't imagine Uhoh Joe Corvo is coming back...say it ain't so, Joe.

Maclean + no options? I dunno. This doesn't sound like a Murray move.

6 goals, 17 points in 40 games with Carolina

Pace of 12 goals, 35 points

Not half bad.

I will always remember his OT goal against Buffalo

Yeah who saw that one?

It would be a move that makes sense, if it has happened. I had him among a list of 5-6 guys I thought we'd target.

Haha, despite the past with Corvo the signing itself makes so much sense. I mean, that's a decent signing to add depth and a guy that can play in all situations. He also had his best year here when he went to the finals with the team so maybe there was something there, Murray did like him as a player but when the team fell apart so did he.

Total douche though but again, makes sense.

Never thought Corvo would ever come back to Ottawa.

I'll bet Murray liked him. People forget this guy was on the team for the Cup run and was one of the most dynamic D-Men the team had seen up until that time.

Again, a hugely talented offensive guy who's a righty, but man, never thought he'd be back here.

Hopefully it's 1 year for cheap.

Me either. But as a 5-6 D and 2nd PP guy, it makes sense to me. Guy has always had a big shot, too.

That whole team started to crumble in hindsight, Corvo was just one of the many players effected by it. Big shot, can PK, obviously solid on the PP, just a solid depth move.

There's our next captain boys

Also, this time around it will help having some goaltenders that can actually make up for a mistake of gaff from Corvo or anyone else for that matter. Just has to come in and fit in, that's it.

You know who's a bigger bunghole?

Don Brennan ‏@SunDoniB 20m

Senators have signed UFA D-man Joe Corvo. You're hearing it hear first. #nhl #sen

If Brennan wants to waste his time on the #6, 7 D man he should just let him. Pretty sure the majority of his articles this year will be ripping into Alfie who probably deserves a bit of it.
