[Dan Patrick]

As a sens fan, who?

Edit: for CAR fans Lajoie is a pretty good AHL D with maybe some small NHL upside but likely won't make the big club without a bad string of injuries.

 

[Del Preston]

Clark Bishop sounds like an old government official. I don't believe he's an actual hockey player.

 

[Erep]

Excited for the analysis on how this will save Melnyk $37.52...

 

[cudi]

Boy did Lajoie ever fall out of favour when the coaching change happened.

 

[Breakers]

Two guys that could have probably been had on waivers

But you dont add the contract

This was in response to losing forsling

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Boy did Lajoie ever fall out of favour when the coaching change happened.

His injury ruined him

Excited for the analysis on how this will save Melnyk $37.52...

Sens add $32.5k in salary

 

[JT Kreider]

I really thought Lajoie had more value than this. Not that he was all too valuable, but more than this.

Carolina is a terrible landing spot for him anyway

 

[Qward]

I would say this is a lateral move, but its more of a diagonal one.

Yeah, the last thing they need is a D that is still trying to solidify a spot on the NHL roster.

Maybe another move is coming?

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Lajoie was never going to get on the NHL roster. Too much depth ahead of him and coming up. Fresh start is good for him

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

he looks like cowen lol

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

he looks like cowen lol

That right there means the Sens lost this trade badly.

He probably does. Sens hate skill, Mike Haley made the big squad clearly better than Balcers. So now the AHL team needs a tough guy I guess, because they are so hard to get. Ya know because Gudbranson, Watson and Josh Brown were incapable of filling that role.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Isn't Clark Bishop the guy from the crappier later seasons of the Office?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Some Canes fans would probably agree that he's not an actual hockey player.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Bean wants to play every day versus sit on the Taxi squad. Since Forsling was picked maybe this is Carolina's way of letting Bean go back to the AHL and have a 2nd defender on the taxi squad.

As a Canes fans, I like Bishop's game. He is a 14th forward guy who plays really hard and will give you a lot in the 8 minutes a night he would get. He isnt going to score a ton but he'll play a solid 4C when called upon.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Lajoie still has NHL upside IMO. He was dynamite for a stretch a couple years ago, but ultimately floundered due to playing for such a poor team defensively. He definitely should've been better in the AHL last season so I don't know what's wrong with him.
He's done it before and is still young. Although, I wouldn't have picked Carolina if I was him, too much strong competition on the backend.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

why

I suspect Chicago might be a little short on D... after Forsling got claimed, and even with loaners coming from the Preds... we still only maybe have 3 to send, Chicago was a little light on bodies on D. We have more forwards we can send than Chicago had room for, so this also helps open a spot up front instead. Purely AHL move.

Carolina. Never mind you mean the wolves

 

[Hostile Offer]

Ah, Max Lajoie, the kid who for one hot minute looked like a pretty solid EK65 replacement.

Did you seriously just compare Lajoie with Karlsson ???

 

[Unsustainable]

He was instrumental in the Calder win with shorties and the PK

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Clark Bishop isn't a 'tough guy' by any means. He is a hard-working speedy penalty killer with limited skill. I know that the Sens' have that in abundance, but this trade is a lateral move.

No, not seriously of course lol.
