Pepperkorn Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 He is Scandinavian heritage at least .. Dansk, maybe?? Perhaps Swede would know! in Minnasota? no way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 You know guys it IS possible this guy is a Craig Darby like signing.. make the Rats better and if he makes the Devils squad all the better... nothing too much to worry about I think... the Rats did need WAY more help then the Devils after all!

sammyk Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Rats are getting a lot fresh blood though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 He is Scandinavian heritage at least .. Dansk, maybe?? Perhaps Swede would know! in Minnasota? no way! Judging by his name... Norwegian or Danish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 A large dose of Kool-Aid never hurt a player's career. I think you are forgetting Jefferson... and that guy Danton who looked just like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 This guy hasn't played in the minors since 99 though. I don't think he is for Albany. If put on waivers, I imagine he would still be picked up by someone. The Kings just non-tendered him because he's making 1.1 million, and that's ridiculous for a guy who isn't going to score 10 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddDog Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 PK, silly, I knew he was Scandinavian, just wasn't sure WHAT Swede, my Norwegian pal thinks he's Danish when I mentioned the name to her, but who the f knows, they probably all interbreed anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdf Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 The knock on him out of buffalo was that he didn't live up to the hype, had some motivational issues (showed flashes but took too many shifts/nights off) and when it came to contract time, his ego told him he was much better than what was offerred. buffalo shipped him off to l.a., and I guess l.a. realized the same thing, he just wasn't worth the money he was demanding. Hopefully lou didn't pay too much for him. He's young, pretty big, maybe the change of scenery and a very regimented coach will turn him around. At any rate, these two signings are just gears in the machine. Don't expect much out of them and you'll be pleasantly surprised, like when pascal was brought in last year and we all said "Lou, What the F$$@?".
