On the roster over Scandella and Pilut is just going to sit in the AHL or get scratched 24/7 anyways.
So you're paying an at best 7D 2.5m+3m. Great use of cap space...

Scandella costs even more and hes nothing more than a 7D at this point.
So at this point if you're another team why do you trade for that? Especially when said player is already on IR?
Right now Scandella is on the books for next year. Nothing we can do about that. Best hope is that he returns to 17/18 form & contributes. Worst case is that he continues to decline & we see out his contract for one more year.
What does adding Beaulieu as a 7/8 achieve? Other than potentially meaning your healthy scratches on D are making 7m combined.
Why does someone trade Skinner for essentially nothing? Why does someone trade ROR for a bunch of dead weight? Who knows what goes on in their heads, its not outside the realm of possibility to trade someone like Scandella.
Funny, he was SOOOO bad last season. He seemed to have gotten over his metal issues this year in limited minutes and dressings. I'm not sure exactly what occurred to facilitate that change. Was it Steve Smith? Was it Phil???
Or was his performance this year a direct result of a limited sample size?
Or do we simply have rose colored glasses on for those not named Marco?
Yeah, by trading him it's like they made him breakfast the morning after.Good luck to him, I guess. Left us with a decent last impression
He may not be gone.
Oh I agree with Scandella but you going to trot him out there costing us games when do you stop? I don't care about later picks,I want to put best product on ice to give us a chance to win.Scandella this year doesn't give us that chanceI've said it before - I suspect there is something going on with Scandella probably health related. Also hoping that whatever it is gets fixed & he returns to last seasons form.
RE Hunwick see post above. An upgrade from 4th to 3rd is probably worth more than a 6th.
He's a RFA not UFA. He couldve been traded in the offseason
Should've just kept him of theres no market for anything better than a 6th. Worst case you just don't qualify him. That's practically equivalent to a 6th which is a throw away.
Would've rather moved Scandella and the return might've been better.
I guess maybe Beau actually did want out and it had to happen.
Should have been Scandella that got traded

As it should.He is a professional coach.Play the players that give you the best chance to win not who you like personally.Right now Scandella is on IR not in the lineup.
Next year he's either in the LU because he's playing well, he's a depth player or he's traded.
Housley's misuse of certain players really blinkers some people on these forums...
So when he gets healthy lets put him back out there to cost us more games because hey we are paying himBut no team is taking a guy with another year under contract at 4 mil, who has played like crap, and who is also injured right now...not at the TDL.
So w

Casey Nelson should be playing.rotate Scandella and Huntwick..you don't need to be an idiotWell if you can't trade him what else do you want? I know, I know...something dumb like waive him, bench him every game even if injuries leave 5 other healthy Dmen, or LTIR him against the CBA. I'm sure you have an answer...

Pout? Lmao..another poster said they wouldn't have got anything for him he has been bad..so I said so we continue to play him game after game costing us points when we have better options..then you got involved being a smartass.you and I are allowed to argue a point without getting personal.We are both Sabre fans.I respect everyone's opinion and I don't take anything personal unless I get disrespectedYou could have posted that first, instead some dumb response pouting about him still being on the team just to pout.
