Waived: Ducks claim Lassi Thomson [Reclaimed by Ottawa]

[Icelevel]

That’s too bad. I’d rather keep him over brannstrom actually.

 

[Golden_Jet]

What are the cap implications? How much extra space for Pinto do we have?

Zero extra space.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Not surprised someone claimed him as he's RHD and still young and a decent enough AHLer, however I'm shocked it was the Ducks. They're loaded with dmen especially on the right side.

Drysdale is still unsigned as an RFA, so the Ducks only other NHL RHD at the moment are Gudas and Lybushkin. There are some left shots who play either side, but now no one is forced to play their off side for the time being.

 

[swiftwin]

Good for him. Hope he sticks in the NHL.

It goes to show how much depth we have that we have to waive players that are good enough to play for another team.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

They probably needed a RHD.

Lassi has a good toolset, for him it's about making better decisions imo.

Not evident by their depth chart but .. probably. Lassi is the more mobile of the 2 and maybe can fill in for Drysdale while unsigned

 

[DrEasy]

I guess once they sign Drysdale they'll waive Thomson?

Didn't think to check, just assumed. Maybe they just like him better, what do I know ...

This seems like it's the only reason they did this. Leverage in the negotiation

Lassi Come Home

What a disastrous move by Staios! Unbelievable

What a disastrous move by Staios! Unbelievable

going to be interesting now, since Dorion has to take the falls for moves that don't go well while also having to share the praise of good moves with Staios just to appease the boss man.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Macewen gets better at some point right?

 

[Icelevel]

I guess Guenette can do what Thomson does and maybe better all around. Still miss the guy.

Guennette just keeps getting better.

 

[Liver King]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

You're not serious are you?

 

[Micklebot]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

What about the memories?

Also I may be wrong but I think we might still own Abramovs rights.

 

[Masterplan]

My guess is he won't stay in Anaheim, and we reclaim him and send him back to Belleville. Unless of course they are happy to give up on him.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

You're not serious are you?

Am I ever serious? This is a all about the fun of the sport.

 

[starling]

Testament to the quality of our drafting, nothing more.

 

[Senscore]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

We'll always have that Uber footage

 

[Ouroboros]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

At least we didn't have to buy him out like Nashville.

 

[Silky Johnson]

That’s too bad. I’d rather keep him over brannstrom actually.

What the...? Why? Brannstrom is and will continue to be a NHL Defenceman. Lassi is not that...at least for now.

 

[ColinM]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

Well at least we don't have Kyle Turris's dead cap space

 

[h2]

We have now officially got nothing for Matt Duchene

Crazy how trade trees pan out.

Nothing for Matt Duchene, but we still have an asset that reaches back from our first ever draft pick (Alexei Yashin) in Mathieu Joseph.
