Tragic.

Trash trade.

This move is going to get roasted by most of you, but I like it. McLeod is surely a terrible hockey player, but in my opinion this was a different team when he was here and they sorely missed his presence for the last year or whatever he's been gone.

Preds got a lot nastier today. Advanced stats be damned, you need some of this in the lineup.

 

[Mustard]

wtf no

 

[Mustard]

McLeod was chirpy when he played against us this year and last; chirped with PK and Watson a lot. Hopefully no drama there

 

[BigFatCat999]

Why? Is he trading Sissons for a T-6?

This!

I wish we got someone else for this role (McQuaid!), but I suppose you rather run 12 forwards than 5 defensemen if the tough guy is a reliability.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Weren't a couple posters asking for him back in a GDT a week or two ago? Meh...a 7th is almost literally nothing in my book. Adds some depth and toughness.

 

[LCPreds]

Good pick up for regular season stretch. Can plug him in to the bottom 6 when we play a goon squad.

 

[Armourboy]

Meh

 

[Gh24]

I was checking up some latest fights of guys like Clifford, McQuaid, Boyle etc. when I went for my list of who I'd be interested in. One of these guys got beat by McLeod and I thought to myself that he'd be one if he was any better. Apparently Poile didn't care about the skill point of view.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I guess it is more of an environmental thing than anything else? Obviously there is nothing McLeod can do anymore on the ice that helps. You can't even really say he brings toughness or anything, because there is nobody left in the league to fight, and he probably doesn't even get on the ice in the playoffs. But they'll know what he brings to the room, so guessing that he's coming more for that side of things.

 

[NightowlPred]

If we face the jets in the POs his face polishing skills are worth the 7th rd pick imo

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Rinaldo better be dead.

That is the only reason for this trade to happen unless you can move Rinaldo for a higher 7th.

Or just unable to play this season...

I agree. Something is different with this team this year aside from injury. Boyle and McCleod sure look like they are coming in for much more than hockey to me.

Or Vegas and Reaves. He's gonna play cheap until someone answers. I hate that, but it's the nature and fault of the game. As long as you can get an advantage by playing nasty, it's gonna happen.

 

[predfan24]

WTF indeed

 

[Roman Yoshi]

I don't want Cody playing against Winnipeg. Terrible matchup for us on the road .

I don't see this logic as making sense. I have a hard time believing the team dynamic was that influenced by McLeod but maybe I'm wrong. We will find out soon enough. Either way it's a throwaway 7th. I'm not going to complain.

I do love Cody's fire.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

So Poile has to think that the team is lacking in accountability and veteran presence right? That's the only explanation I've got. The team didn't have the juice in the playoffs last year they had the year prior. They tried to bring in Fisher to fix it last year, maybe McLeod was good at getting guys fired up to play during the Cup run?

 

[LCPreds]

No one actually thinks McCleod is playing in the playoffs, right? He's going to be a regular season plug and a guy that's good to have around the locker room. That's about it.
