So are we trying to resign ALL of the players we got rid of???
Really I hope he can bring something to the table and for how cheap its going to cost us, its better than not having him.

No risk in this deal. At the very least he brings some veteran leadership to the team. He may be slow but he can still park himself in front of opposing goaltenders. I always liked Knuble.

Well that was not too reassuring.

Yeah, they're not very optimistic over there at times. I'm not expecting him to be a super star but I think he will help us.

heh, while not reassuring, it's also 97% irrelevant.. if you're relying on mike knuble to be your puck carrier, you're gunna have a bad time

...and my .02? I'd rather the puck be on his old stick than either Shitty or Sestito's.

Im not so sure about that i like what sestito brought to the game last night and im not sure how much K has left i personally hope if we sign him he puts up 20 g this season

 

[jerseyjigroe]

Since L. Schenn wears 22 now Knuble will wear #9.

 

[jerseyjigroe]

Reports are that it's 1 yr, $750k

 

[lasgop8]

Mike Knuble will wear the number 9

# 9 to be worn by Knuble.

I hear ya man, but somebody needs to fill ********'s empty non goal scoring skates. May as well be another cement footed hack.

My concern is that he is old and slow, not that he isnt a puck carrier. He may help on the PP but I am not real optomistic on this one.
