I don't like this.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Yeahhhhhh. There’s a bit of a let down. He wasn’t great, but I don’t think there was much wrong with keeping him around

 

[McDNicks17]

I don't think Tipp liked him.

Likely asked to get moved somewhere where he'd get a chance.

 

[CycloneSweep]

By all accounts he has been really bad in Bakersfield. Has the odd good play or game but not very good.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

That’s not it chief.

I suppose this is to get us down to 49 contracts, but he is worth more than a conditional 7th.

 

[Senor Catface]

Makes me think, like I suggested before, that this was made as a request by the player or his agent since there was no way he would make the team this year.

Just a guess.

I thought the same when I saw this.

I agree, I think it was a contract dump. Curious what the conditions are/if the pick gets better.

Who’s Redmond

 

[joestevens29]

Not shocked that Holland is moving some AHL piece(s). At some point he was going to need to start adding some of his type of players to the AHL. Guy was a RFA and probably not back anyway.

 

[Zguy370]

wtf this is not good, thought Holland liked his Swedes

Would assume it's something to do with him playing a certain number of NHL games this year. I also feel like it might be one of those conditional picks where if he doesn't hit the conditions, we just don't get anything, but we free up that contract spot.

Thats what I thought but we took back an echl goalie

 

[Draiskull]

I don't like this.

Can you please be more specific?
you don't like the part that it is a 7th rounder, or that its a 7th rounder in 2022, or that there is a condition on this 2022 7th round pick?

He has great numbers. For awhile was almost ppg...

I watched him close when he played on the Oilers and his game was good. Not perfect but he was playing top pairing with Klefbom and playing good.

I believe this is a pure politics situation.

No way a player can play so well in a top 4 nhl role. Get demoted, put up near ppg, and then get flushed by the organization so quickly short of something going on behind the scenes.

Very curious about the real story here but know we never hear it.

 

[McDNicks17]

This is pretty typical for Euro FAs.

Likely was planning on heading back to Sweden to never be heard from again, so might as well give him a chance with someone else.

Yep, this is a strange one to say the least, considering how Holland likes his Swedes, and the fact that some of his countrymen are already in the mix

 

[McDNicks17]

With Green, Benning and one of Jones/Russell competing for that third pairing rightie spot, I don't think they saw much need for him.

Probably no room for him next year. He isn't better than Bear, Larsson, Benning or Bouchard so even if we move one of those guys out, he still is down the depth chart.

Cap dump.

IMO he’s not tough / aggressive enough for NHL play. Maybe he proves me wrong...San Diego is a nice place to live

He is a RFA right shooting defenseman that played on the top pairing with Klefbom while we opened the season on a massive win streak...

Green is a 34 year old UFA rental...

Needs got nothing you do with it.

He's 13-0 with the Growlers lol. But the Growlers are pretty good.

Being an RFA doesn't really mean anything if he had no intention of coming back.
