THE TELETYPE:
According to Sportsnet.ca's NHL Signing Tracker, Anaheim has signed defenseman Danny Syvret. The site provides no details for the contract, and no official announcement has been made by the club or a news outlet that is not citing Sportsnet. UPDATE: The Philadelphia Daily News reports the contract is a two-way deal for one year and that his salary will be 600K at the NHL level, and 105K at the AHL level. The paper also notes that Syvret fielded offers from Montreal, Pittsburgh, Nashville and San Jose, making it likely that he will be given a chance to make the NHL squad, and perhaps chose the Ducks because they are thinner on the blueline than the other teams.
After an impressive junior career culminating in an 81st overall selection in the 2005 Draft by the Edmonton Oilers, Syvret has had trouble cracking an NHL lineup. He played 21 of his 49 total NHL games (logged over three seasons) last year with the Flyers. Known primarily for his offense, Syvret's 0.95 Pts/60 rating was second only to Pronger in his quarter-season sample. However, defensively, Syvret had the lowest Quality of Competition rating amongst Philadelphia blueliners and the fourth worst GAON/60, contributing to the third worst Corsi Relative to Quality of Competition rating on the team (behind Ryan Parent and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen).
With 272 AHL games, Syvret would be a strong pickup for Anaheim's Syrcause squad as the team works to build an American League roster after spending last season without an affiliate. However, if the Ducks' NHL club continues to maintain the current holes they have on defense, Syvret could contend for a roster spot alongside fellow struggling 2005 draft pick Brendan Mikkelson.

Crunch may be looking good after all....
All heck is busting loose. Now that Kovy has signed, we should see some movement everywhere. I just hope the Murray doesn’t sleep at the wheel this time, and gets the best of what is out there. Now that Hjalmarsson was kept by the Bhawks they might have to give up Sharp. Philly and New Jersey are also gonna have to cough up some Dmen to balance their cap. Lets hope we get one (or three)
wake me up when bob gets a DECENT defensemen

this is very monkey’s paw. First you wanted defense; he gets you defense. Then you want decent defense; I think Murph should sign Rob Blake as a scout just to spite you. haha.

good thing he retired. I guess I am just anxious for someone I know won’t be on a 2 way contract or likely playing with the Crrrrrizunch.
Blake as a scout
That’s the point. That’s what makes it monkey’s paw. Every time you ask for something, he gives you exactly what you asked for. He signs a qualified defenseman…to be a scout.

playing the hypothetical game even though that would never happen I suppose it would be funny, and I would probably crap myself… I was just mentioning good thing he retired because I hate him oh so very much.
In retrospect, if he brought quality scouting and taught our boys a proper hip-check or nut spearing technique I don’t think I would mind too much now that I think about it.
yeah, but that would still be absolute monkey’s paw as it wouldn’t help our defense this year. It’s like wishing for a million dollars and that damned paw delivering cancelled or marked bills from a bank robbery. GODDAMN PAW!
