Well if it isn't my good friend Greg McKegg... with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!

 

[DFC]

Is McKegg mainly an NHL player now?

Just wondering if this is TB adding depth to cushion an upcoming move, or if they're just looking to bolster the AHL roster.

Well if it isn't my good friend Greg McKegg... with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!

I'm glad they took him just for his name.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Torts and Dalpe together again. Zac Dalpe had his best season playing under torts so expect some big things from him.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I like McKegg. He can replace Dumont in the lineup.

 

[Sstroh84]

Columbus has some injuries up front with Matt Calvert and Lukas Sedlak. This is more a temporary depth move than anything. Dalpe will probably be back on waivers in a couple weeks.

You can always find another unskilled AHLer to come up and hustle.

No idea why we claimed McKegg, we have several players like him on the roster and in the AHL. I don't think we will be trading that many pieces where we need to hit the waiver wire but I could be wrong.

Probably an "NHL move".

TB moved out Jeremy Morin a couple of days ago because their AHL squad had a surplus of veteran.

You mean Shane Harper?

McKegg is not an AHLer tho. He's a fine 4th liner.

 

[Crede777]

Isn't Dalpe a former OSU player?

 

[nativecbj]

Nothing to see here

 

[TaLoN]

Damnit Columbus, why'd you have to claim Dalpe?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Hopefully we can get Greg McKegg and Frank the Tank playing on the same line together.

 

[57special]

Was nice to have Dalpe around for 4C insurance. Can play a bit. Oh well, still have Graovac.

 

[RDTBay4]

In regards to Greg McKegg:

 

[uncleben]

This cost Tampa $41,250, not counting towards the cap, paid to Florida, and
Columbus $15,000, not counting towards the cap, paid to Minnesota.

 

[Lapa]

Dalpe was decent until he got injured. Hope he does well in Columbus.

 

[Dabeast]

No, not the Kegger

 

[That Habs Fan]

Well if it isn't my old friend Greg McKegg...with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!

 

[Seatoo]

Man thank Christ Benning didnt make a waiver claim while we have 4-5 guys called up from the AHL to replace people who were already on call up from the AHL.

Close call.

Former Canuck

 

[wolfofthesteppes]

Isn't Dalpe a former OSU player?

Yes, he played at Ohio State for a couple of years, so will obviously be familiar with Columbus.
