Predators sign Bonk, de Vries

Quote:

The Nashville Predators have signed a pair of free agents--forward Radek Bonk and defenseman Greg de Vries--to two year contracts. Details to follow.

de Vries, 34, averaged 22:14 of ice time last season with Atlanta (third most on the team), appeared in all 82 games for the Thrashers and had 3 goals, 21 assists and 24 points. The 6-2, 220-pound defenseman appeared in six games with the Predators during the 1998-99 inaugural season.

Bonk, the third pick overall in the 1994 NHL Draft (by Ottawa), had 13 goals, 10 assists and 23 points in 74 games last season with Montreal. The 6-3, 214-pound forward has topped the 20-goal plateau four times in his career.

In all, Bonk, 31, has more than 800 NHL games of experience while de Vries has over 700 games of experience.

I think Nashville is randomly signing guys now since they are under the minimum required team salary. I can't see either of these guys helping too much.

BOnk can help in the PK. He can give you goals, and play well against the 1st line of the other team. I agree with you that he's not an all-star player, but this player do his job, and take the responsabilities that you ask him. I can'T argue on De Vries, 'cause I don't know many things on him.
