He's better than Borowiecki despite Borowiecki's strong play in recent weeks.

Now lets hope he actually gets to play regularly.

agreed... I cringe everytime Boro is on the ice

 

[Super Cake]

Cool

I don't have any major complaints recently though. Borowiecki's been good recently.

But Claesson is a better option long term as far as I'm concerned.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I dig.

I like it. But must mean they expect to lose a dman in Expansion (likely) or Trade. No way Chabot isnt in the NHL next year (rightfully or not). Would be shocked if they carried 8 D.

 

[OmniSens]

He's been steady as hell. Loving his game.

Steady Freddy.

 

[operasen]

Happy about this.

In two years time our D will have made decisions on Chabot, Claesson, Englund and Jaros. Karlsson and Phaneuf will sill be around.

Who knows with Methot, Ceci, Wideman and Borowiecki.

 

[Nairbo]

Fair deal. He's better than Boro at everything that isn't punching people in the face and blocking shots.

 

[Icelevel]

Awesome.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Good, prepping to lose a D-man come expansion

 

[Nairbo]

Please take Ceci, Vegas. Leave Wideman alone.

Jesus Christ.

You get your marching orders. A week or two ago you got your order: Wideman is better than Ceci so lets keep comparing the two.

I'm wondering if the bunch of you are 1 poster or if you hold secret PM meetings

Okay, so what have we learned today ? :

- NHL = joke of a league
- Me = blinder than a bat

Close 'er up.

EK working on his post-playing career as a photographer.

 

[Karl Prime]

Very happy to see this deal done. Freddy's been very good, a great #6 D-man.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

That is frikkin' hilarious and sets them up for more "Melnyk is cheap" jokes. I almost wish they had actually made one themselves.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Could he (not will he) be taken in the expansion draft?

Could he (not will he) be taken in the expansion draft?

He could, though I think there will be more attractive options available from the Sens.
