Eww. Why?

 

[WesMcCauley]

I wouldnt even call him a good depth player..... Just doesnt do much. He isnt completely useless but far from good. Not a big loss for us at all, hopefully he can contribute in Arizona.

 

[Mike Jones]

It makes sense in a way - for one thing it gives Arizona a body to fill a roster spot when/if the trading starts.

Wasn't he like... not terrible in cgy? Did he just get av'd?

 

[Mike Jones]

As I remember him he was a feisty little guy with some speed. He didn't do that bad here.

I think Calgary passed on claimimg him because they didn't want to mess with their recent winning streak. If they were still struggling and looking to change things up, however, it would have been a decent move.

He got injured in preseason and was never able to stick in the lineup after that. Was invisible most of the time and was passed over by Hrivik who has looked good since being called up. The spot was his, but he couldn't outplay a struggling Oscar Lindberg who finally had a good game against Chicago the other night.

 

[Calad]

He got hurt in training camp and never really pulled it together, he was pretty much filler on the roster. Keep in mind, the rangers have 5 Forwards injured and he got waived in favor of a few call ups from the AHL. I hope he turns it around in the desert.

Who says they passed on him? Arizona has a higher waiver priority.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

About the only waiver player is not rate as a better NHL player than either Jack Skille or Jayson Megna. Also only one to not pass Vancouver on the waiver claim priority.

Oops. Just checked and you're right.

 

[DJJones]

Good for him. Hopefully he can shake off the injury and this will light a fire under his ass.

Was a very effective player at times.

Phoenix preparing to move Hanzal, probably.

If they're looking for a young roster player in exchange for Hanzal (As suggested in another thread) then why would they fill a roster spot with a waiver claim?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I thought he looked good in Calgary, tbh. Could be a good depth player for the Yotes, even though he's getting pinata'ed by Rangers fans.

No room for him.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I always liked him in Calgary. Won battles and races, had decent hands in tight, good PKer. Not the biggest guy but at ~6'0" / ~195 lbs wasn't undersized either.

 

[JAVO16]

The next Paul Byron.

Very happy as a Yotes fan. Wanted him as a UFA.

He was so good in Calgary, the Flames decided not to tender a qualifying offer

 

[Johnnybegood13]

He's also not "little"

Unless you think 6'1 195lbs is little

 

[Mike Jones]

It is to me. But I thought he was more to the 5'11ish side.

 

[JaegerDice]

Underrated player. Nice pickup.

He must have put on weight because I remember him being much lankier than 195.
