Tough SOB and a good room guy but he really can't play anymore.

Seems like a pointless signing, there's already a logjam in the bottom 6

For 700k, let the guy compete at camp and see if he has anything left. If not, he can help the Moose at the very least...

Yup. And if one of the young guys cant beat him out.. Well AHL for them. 

Thorburn was a tough as nails guy who was great in the room

kulikov, mason and Hendricks... those are some hit or miss signings...

Thorburn was a great guy to have around and I wish he was still in Wpg!

I don't know, don't the Moose have much of a goaltender problem as we do?

One of these things is not like the other....

Like 'em or not, Kulikov & Mason were among the best FAs available at their position. 

Hendricks is a summertime-sign-a-vet for league minimum type deal which most teams do.   This year's success / failure won't be determined by this guy.

You mean as a season ticket holder right?

56.9% puts him top 10 in league with at least 100 fo's but that age. Better skate like Doug Smail at 36.

56.9% Hendricks 232  faceoffs
55.6% Little 1097
51.3% Perreault 189
50.8%  Lowry   1295
49.5% Copp 192
46.0% Petan 315
43.5% Scheifele 1461

Maybe we hired him just to teach Scheif

It's certainly not a risky move based on the money or the term. Worst case, he gets waived and ends up elsewhere or on the Moose.

No harm, no foul.

No need to blow a gasket over a depth veteran who will be either in the pressbox or in the AHL. 

okay anyone have any idea about what this wednesday is all about because the Jets have been teasing it like crazy and I don't even know what the heck is going on, are they teasing a major announcement or something

I'd be shocked if it was anything substantial - as normally those things are hard to keep under wraps.  Plus you  wouldn't typically wait 1 week and tease with silly hashtags and promo videos.

I'd suspect it's something re: jerseys, new sponsorship.  Something business related like that.

It won't be an extension for Trouba, for example or anything player related IMO.   But hey what do I know! 

now I don't think they would do such a tease for a player signing (someone actually joked that the announcement was signing Jagr, Ha!)

Addidas Jersey reveal date.

Sort of a shame he didn't see the writing on the wall and retire a few weeks ago with Arizona. But great career.
