Confirmed with Link: Claesson told to get an apartment in Ottawa

[saskriders]

As per Mendes




This also means we have 7 permanent defencemen, so let trade speculations run free.

We're about to hit the hardest part of the season so it makes sense to have an extra defenceman around for inevitable maintenance days.

 

[Knave]

I suspect a few including Karlsson are playing with minor lingering injuries and the team wants to play it safe and run with 7 in the event a guy can't dress a particular night (or gets injured/aggravates and is out longer term).

 

[tony d]

Good call up IMO, adds some depth to our defense.

 

[starling]

Now if he could get a place in the lineup.

 

[SpezDispenser]

He'll get a place in the lineup when we trade Ceci.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Rumour: Cleasson to Craigslist

 

[Sun God Nika]

don't think they would tell a guy to expect to stay in the city for 40+ games just for maintenance or as an extra body. Something is brewing.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I've enjoyed his games

Well we know boucher likes 7 D. And it's not like they're gonna trade one and leave us at 6.

 

[Larionov]

Now that Claesson is healthy, it gives Boucher some roster flexibility. There are nights when we can send Boro, Neil, or perhaps Kelly or Lazar to the press box. This club is painfully thin on the fourth line and in our sixth D spot, so having another guy here who can actually keep up in this league on a nightly basis is helpful.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Maybe this is an early domino in a big exciting trade, but more likely it is just the Sens 7th best defender being told he'll be kept for the rest of the year.

 

[Benjamin]

Most likely: team wants a steady #7 that will also be here next season
Hopefully+Additionally: Boro is gone.

Why does no one like Boro? The guy hits hard, blocks shots, plays his heart out and he's even improved his first pads. What more do people want?

They want him to score 50 a year of gtfo

NHL level passing. NHL level IQ. Better skating. Much better on the PK. Less taking himself out of position to make a meaningless hit. Less penalties.

I feel like he's all of that - or at least good enough to be a #5/6 dman without question.

 

[Flamingo]

Good for Claesson. One step below buy a house, two under marry a local girl.

Boro appears as super tough and always brings 110%. Despite all that, he's extremely easy to play against. He's the dman every team wants to play against on our team.

He doesn't play the pk that often. He makes a better pass than Dion. He ends up out of position only when he's chasing players like Crosby around. His NHL IQ is quite good for a player of his skill set. I don't have his penalty numbers on hand but sure he should take less.

It's funny reading this because I'm sure the taking himself out of position was from the game against the Penguins when he got caught chasing Crosby and I'm sure your take less penalties comment comes from the one incident in LA.

It wasn't one game. Its every game.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

An apartment and not a house. I believe they told Dzingle and or at least another prospect to buy a house. Maybe stone or hoffman

 

[God Says No]

It wasn't one game. Its every game.

Not sure it's every game, but pretty close to it. He's actually surpassed my expectations this year though. I thought he was going to be a disaster. He's only been a disaster half a dozen times.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Hes simply not good.

He goes for hits and gets way out position often. Penalty collector. Can't make a pass. Low hockey IQ. Poor skater. Overrated in fights.

Sounds like Phaneuf and no one complains as much about him as they do Boro.
I appreciate Boro on this team, he's one of the few guys who wears his heart on his sleeve.
