Confirmed with Link: [CAR/OTT] Rees to Ottawa for a 6th round pick

[AhosDatsyukian]

Man he has really fallen, was very excited about him as a cheap bottom 6 pest a few years ago…

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I don’t think we were going to QO him so get something for him

The trade deadline is a deadline for playoff roster eligibility. You can still sign or trade players after the deadline, they just can't be on your roster for the playoffs. Which is not a concern for Ottawa.

Any player under contract traded after the deadline is ineligible to play in the NHL for the rest of the season. This includes both the remaining Regular Season as well as the Playoffs.

Any UFA signed after the deadline is eligible to play the remainder of the Regular season, but ineligible for the Playoffs.

Any player to whom a team owns draft rights is eligible to sign after the deadline, and eligible for both the Regular Season and Playoffs. Provided that the Player’s draft rights were not traded after the deadline—if traded the player would be ineligible to play the rest of the season and thus ineligible to even sign a contract for the current season, but could sign a contract starting the next season.

In five years he'll be a middle six forward on a playoff bound Ottawa team, joining the legion of Canes castoffs who have solid careers elsewhere.

Seems like the 2018 and 2019 drafts overall aren't panning out well for a lot of teams. Gotta think Covid f***ed with a lot of players developments.

Also, we really, really need to get an AHL franchise. f*** the Wolves for their independent nonsense.

Heading into even this year I thought he had a good chance for the bottom six. Felt like he, Suzuki and Pono were pretty close for the one spot that was obviously went to Pono.

I’m glad we are giving him a restart, he deserved better. I think he’s not only a victim of the AHL situation but also Rod’s generally preference for some experience in the bottom six. I think other teams would’ve given him a shot a couple of years ago. I have a hard time believing he won’t get some games at the NHL level. Good luck Rees!

Best of luck to him and I hope this was a move to help him find a better spot with an easier path to some time in the league. Loved loved loved his style of play and his tenacity. If he had been just a slightly bigger frame I think he would have been on the big club here sooner…. And he may not have had as many little bumps and nicks as seemed to pick up every time he seemed to be getting close to breaking through and forcing the hand of the coach etc…. Really do hope he gets a chance with Ottawa or even beyond.

I stand corrected!

Stone cold truthiness

I think him looking elsewhere instead is even more likely than us not giving him a QO given our uncertain affiliate situation, how he was f***ed over in terms of use while on loan at Springfield this year, and the lack of call up opportunities here.

 

[Unsustainable]

Wonder what draft guru “darling” will fall to the Canes with this pick.

Is a shame about Rees. Way back, he was my favorite pick from the 2019 draft.

 

[poobags]

Haha that was my thought. Which obscure russian/european goalie are we going to take a flyer on this year. This guy might be too high profile though. Plus two goalie prospects named Yegor doesn't seem like enough. Is there a Yegor out there this year?

 

[tarheelhockey]

f*** the Wolves for their independent nonsense.

They’ve been in the dregs of the league this year. Hope they’re enjoying all those independently meaningless games.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Somewhere Kev is doing a "gang, I told you so" at the screen. He wanted Nick Robertson with this pick back during that draft.

Right now Robertson’s got what would be the game winner.

Poetry in motion.

Poetry in motion.

Or maybe not.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

5’10” 160lbs at 21. Probably not getting much bigger at this point.

He’s the world record holder, though, and I can’t imagine that will be broken any time soon.
