Good to see he's on waivers, not skilled nor defensive enough to thrive in the NHL

Let's hope they do so he doesn't come back for a 59th time.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Nice trade deadline addition for Syracuse.

 

[These Are The Days]

Good luck ABB. I think that really was his last time

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Finally some good news thank f***ing goodness!!!

Now let's waive sheary. Replace them with and we got a trade deadline addition.

He had his chances, sadly doesn't work for us and him. Good luck!

Sheary and...CDH? Motte?

Sheary and...CDH? Motte?

Jeannot is garbage

Motte is actually pretty damn good except for finishing. And he's been unlucky with injuries.

Yea I don't dislike him. I was just spitballing for who the other player might be if it isn't CDH.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I’m not really down with celebrating anyones failures, but as a fan of the team I like to see some roster movement to show that coaching/management isnt complacent.

 

[Byrddog]

Never really saw him making it but he sure had his chances. Now the question is who will take the roster position.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Too bad for him but it’s not like we didn’t give him a chance to finally make it (several actually). Just lacks the vision / IQ and skating to translate his solid AHL game to NHL speed.

 

[Master P]

Shame it never worked out, but he had his chances.

 

[Point21]

Im actually okay if he stays in Syracuse. he boosts their scoring and helps them without having to give up an asset at the deadline

 

[These Are The Days]

Shame it never worked out, but he had his chances.

This is where I'm at. I hope he makes it but I don't think it's gonna be here. Damn man this sucks. I really wanted him to succeed. But he should have by now

 

[RussianGuyovich]

At this point, if he does become the next CV or JAM then we know we do have a coaching problem.

 

[Sky04]

I thought he did fine with Kuch and Point allowing Hagel freeing up for depth but then now they're just babysitting Stamkos. ABB hasn't really shown much of late but he's also an offensive forward whos played the last 20 games or so with 3rd and 4th liners.

Our scoring depth problems comes from how poorly Stamkos is at ES, he's just not self sufficient at all, if he could click with anybody on another line we'd be much better off and maybe be able to foster some more talent.

 

[Outl4w]

Sheary and...CDH? Motte?

Motte should be kept. Abb and Sheary should be waived. Motte is a decent 12/13/14 forward. We need to figure out who we are going to move on from in Watson,Abb, sheary, and, and Jeannot. We need only two of them. I'm fine with Watson and Motte since they are cheaper than jeannot. Jeannot is overpaid for what he produces . We can blame injuries etc, but doesn't change the fact he hadn't lived up to his raise or the draft picks We paid for him.

 

[b0lthed]

What’s Jeannot signed for, $2.1m for this and next season? I’m keeping him on the odd chance he can ever stay healthy. If he can, it’s a nice luxury to have a feared fighter who can chip in some offense from the fourth line. Sadly, we all just have to put that horrible trade in the past and not succumb to expecting (or even hoping) he’s anything more than Maroon’s replacement.

Motte is meh. He’s fine. A low-impact player no matter where you put him. Definitely a fourth-liner for a good team, which says something about us playing him so much as our 3C. I don’t dislike him at all, but he’s less noticeable than Glendening, and we really only need one of their type.

Hopefully Koepke can stick this time. I’m happy to have him and Chafee getting IT because our bottom six just sucks.

Sheary is obviously an albatross and im not alone in scratching my head over why the hell JBB ignored free agents like Evan Rodrigues who had top-6 experience on two playoff teams and cost $1 million. Wtf man? The disparity is enormous.

But I’m also frustrated with Eyssimont’s inconsistency. Maybe he’s the poor sap who’s stuck with garbage linemates, but I don’t see him raising anyone’s game either. Just to rub more salt, Ace is scoring at a .29 PPG clip this season while old friend Vladdy Namestnikov has been a reliable .5 PPG player for the Jets since JBB started tinkering a year ago.

I know we all want Sheary gone yesterday, but we likely have to wait until the deadline in case there’s any chance of dumping him. Ugh. What a frustrating season
