Hopefully he doesn't bring his St. Louis work ethic with him or that he can adjust quickly to the Sens work ethic (or lack thereof).
Not even McJesus could stop the tank now. The 18 wheeler has already flown off the cliff.
I love this move. Have always loved Paajarvi. He Never turned into the top 6 scorer he was drafted to be but he's turned himself into a great secondary role player. A good skater and very good two way player with some skill. Can kill penalties. Sorely needed for the bottom 6.
I've been very critical of Dorion, but this is a very nice move.
I think it even adds to the chance that this trade would be with St. Louis....Sens do them a favor by taking him off waivers, one less contract and salary on the books.IMO this makes it look like a trade is coming soon.
As much as I'd love it if he FINALLY puts his game together with us, his 3rd team, we need to face the facts that he will be 27 years old at the end of this season, and he is what he is at this point -> a 15-20 point winger which can be counted on to play decent 2-way hockey.
This looks more like acquiring free veteran players to see us through the end of the season after we trade a few away before the deadline. Reminds me of when we claimed Mark Svatos. Same scenario.

Gonna assume he played for the 2010-11 Tampa Bay Lightning, otherwise, why claim him?
Makes perfect sense to claim him. We have injuries up front and are rumoured to be trading just about everybody. He's an NHL body, and for a team that is gonna potentially lose 3-4 NHLers to trades, there's value in that as a free (well 15k cost paid to STL) rental.

Cowens was detailed for much the same reason paajarvis was. No brain
Hip, I thought. His knee injury happened before he was even drafted from what I recall.Pretty sure is was the devastating knee injury that derailed Cowen's NHL aspirations.
But don't let that stop you from insulting him.
Pierre McGuire talked about Cowen a few days ago, and am sure he said is was the Knee Injury that (eventually) did in his career....... either way, it was an injury, and no need for someone to take a cheap-shot at him.Hip, I thought.

Fair enough. He had his issues going in so he wasn't a sure thing, but without the injuries, he'd at least be playing for sure.Pierre McGuire talked about Cowen a few days ago, and am sure he said is was the Knee Injury that (eventually) did in his career....... either way, it was an injury, and no need for someone to take a cheap-shot at him.

That's ridiculous, Smith is ten times the player MPS is or has ever been. MPS has never been more than a bubble player or career AHL player & for a guy his size is soft as butter. At the least he is bigger than Dumont & Dido but both these small guys are probably tougher than this big cream puff. I doubt he works out & from what we have seen of him so far in the NHL & at his age he is what he is & it's another useless acquisition by PD IMO.he only makes 0.8million I would be fine if the sens even extended him at that. Hell if the sens traded Smith at his current contract for example for MPS I would do it.

This team needs more players like Smith & less players who are so damn soft.
