Let's Go Blues

I thought Army just said he was staying in major junior this season...? Or is this for the prototypically retarded "strategy" of burning an entire year of an affordable entry level deal by having a younger prospect play in 4-10 relatively meaningless games at the end of the season when their major ...

Interesting! Hockey-Reference.com and NHL.com both have him as a center, however, in 2005-6 he played 3 games, took 0 face-offs. 2006-7 7 games 0 face-offs. 2007-8 25 games 7 face-offs. 2008-9 44 games 14 face-offs. 2011-12 16 games 5 face-offs.

I don't think this is a bad signing at all. Locking in for three years probably makes him a more attractive trade asset than being an RFA with arbitration rights. Even if he stays its not a bad contract. Berglund is not a bad player; he just should be better than his is given his skill set and size...
