Cant be mad at the guy.

So long Josh.

 

[goleafsgo88]

I would too, to be honest

 

[Legendary]

Wasted potential

 

[Intact]

He has a little value. Would 100% get claimed on waivers

 

[Gallagbi]

Makes sense, he's been passed on the depth charts and is just floating around.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Babs running talent out of the org

 

[TMLeafer]

Can't blame him. Although next season with potentially no jvr and Komarov, he might have had a chance.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Meh. Some will say wasted potential. I see a victim of numbers. Won't slot above JVR, Marleau, or Hyman. Could have played over Martin.

 

[Mr Hockey]

wasn't a fit here, should do well on another team.

 

[Schenn]

Don't blame him. Any ideas on trades? Maybe something like to St. Louis for Jordan Schmaltz? Helps D depth on marlies. Former 1st rounder.

 

[tokyoite]

stubborn coach's fault

 

[Menzinger]

Perfectly reasonable.

Given his age, he’s at a “make or break” time for his career. If he doesn’t have a clear path to a roster spot understandable he will want to get a chance like Panik did on another team

 

[BlueBaron]

It's a shame but ultimately he is not good enough to be on our team and probably never will be. Let him go to a bottom feeder as part of our package for whatever playoff pick up we go for. Not losing sleep over this one.

 

[Superstar]

Quick, phone Chiarelli and get that 1st round pick! McDavid needs a winger!

Always is right?

sosh, leivo, johnsson and who else? Grundstrom?

Probably has a decent shot tbh.

 

[Warden of the North]

Who exactly is he replacing on this roster?

 

[dubplatepressure]

Who exactly is he replacing on this roster?

Doesn't matter it's still Babcocks fault and Leivo is still a top6 winger.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am not a fan how they treated him, to be honest. Should have traded him or waived him a long time ago to give him a chance. It's not right doing this to a relatively young player. Yet a washed up player in Komarov gets to play among the highest minutes on the team.

 

[Jozay]

Who exactly is he replacing on this roster?

Martin

 

[Warden of the North]

Martin

Do they switch seats in the press box then?

 

[Trapper]

Who exactly is he replacing on this roster?

He should have been replacing JVR dealt in the summer for a high pick/prospect. That way you'd have all year to rotate Leivo/Johnsson/Kappy in and see what you have.
Then if you were still concerned about adding extra depth at the playoffs, you could have gotten a guy like Grabner from NY to add.
I'd feel equally ok about a JVR-Bozak-Brown line as I would with a Grabner-Bozak-Brown line. But in the meantime you see what's replacing what you don't plan/or shouldn't plan to keep. It's moving on from players and getting assets.

 

[Anthrax442]

He is so overrated. Noone would give anything for him.

 

[Jozay]

Do they switch seats in the press box then?

Yes.
