And there goes the other dman I wanted us to grab on a 1 year deal--Hamhuis back to Nashville on a 2 year deal.
Exactly.and Orpik to the Caps.
Those are two pretty decent teams that saw something in these two players. Just another example of how guys that many posters here (and presumably Jarmo & Co) didn't want. I think either could have helped solidify our D corps but her life goes on, brick by brick.
I thought Carolina would rise just enough to possibly squeeze us out of playoff position next year.
Thankfully, they hired Don Waddell, aka the Doug Maclean of the south.
I was very worried about Carolina, now not so much. Still out of the Metro the Caps, Pens and Flyers are better than the Jackets. In the Atlantic Toronto, Tampa and Boston are locks.Don't think it'll matter much. If you haven't heard, every other team in the Metro division got better, other than the Jackets of course. Don't even get me started on Tavares in Toronto or Vinny and the Panthers.
Meanwhile, it's become pretty clear to me that Panarin is staying for the year. If that's the sort of return quality LWs are bringing in... yeah, no ****ing way.I thought Carolina would rise just enough to possibly squeeze us out of playoff position next year.

And the rumor is Skinner vetoed a few other trades. Whether or not that's true, who knows?I've been out of town on vacation this week and just saw that Skinner got traded. That return - ouch. But then again he is a UFA at the end of the year.

Curious the circumstances around Marko Dano's first year back in 2014. It's my understanding he made the team out of camp & then was demoted 8 games in. He went down to Springfield, put up modest numbers & then was recalled late in the season for the final 27 games.
Dano's waiver eligibility was affected by playing over 10 games that year & last season the inability for the Jets to send him down made him a healthy scratch for much of the season, hampering his development.
What was up with the rush to insert him into the lineup in late February 2015? Were there injuries that forced Columbus' hand? The team was out of the playoffs at this point and Springfield was a contender with the bottom falling out of the team immediately after the Dano call-up.
He ended up traded in a few months later. Was he simply being showcased for a trade to the Blackhawks? If so wouldn't the Blackhawks have preferred to have limited their viewings at the AHL level?
I ask as it's a shame to see a player forced to sit with the Jets when he could easily have been waiver exempt until this season had Columbus simply let him stay in Springfield before trading him.

When he was called up that spring, I don't think anyone anticipated him taking off like he did. It might have been a temporary call-up. There certainly was no interest from Chicago. He just played really well. Dano had great chemistry on a line with Wennberg and Hartnell. He scored a lot - there was no reason to send him down. It was only because of that strong rookie season that he got any interest from Chicago. He went from being a total unknown to perhaps being more valuable than Anisimov in the Panarin trade.
Likewise now, I'm not so sure that Dano needs AHL time for his development, as he needs ice time in general for his development. He needs a trade away from Winnipeg. Send him to a team with a thinner roster. I'd love to him back on Columbus but it's a dog-fight for ice time here too. I don't know if he'd be ahead of a guy like Duclair.
