Well that was easy

 

[Hello Johnny]

I don't hate trading a 4th for some grit but I have no read on this player. @Viqsi ?

Got 6 NHL fights under his belt. Including being pummeled by Anderson

 

[Youngguns80]

Why????? AHL bound. Would have rather had the pick. Probably could have gotten PoolParty for that 4th round pick.

I was hoping for a heavyweight fighter. This guy doesn't have a good win record vs the big boys. I suppose he's better than Rinaldo but if Jarmo is trading away a pick for a fighter, couldn't he have gotten a heavyweight?

Heres the oneI wanted to post but forgot how to post YT vids

Fighting with visors on is just dumb

Yeah id rather push for a guy like Deslaurier. It looks like Jarmo paid a big price early to just get it done I guess. Seems forced and rushed

I’d rather have the 4th rounder tbh

Dude is not very good at HOCKEY

 

[CBJWerenski8]

This tells me Jarmo isn't as concerned about the physical issue as we are on here. Unless of course there is more bruisers on the way.

I don't see Oliver as more than a depth guy. Basically the new Gaunce, even though we kept Gaunce.

Very underwhelming

He's the new Rinaldo, but vaccinated.

Waste of a 4th round pick.

He's a lot of FU on skates, nickname is 'The Biloxi Bull' French Canadian name but born in Mississippi. Preds have something with the Herd line and needed to move out a RW.

and Viqsi was away, I thought the USC/UCLA news killed her. LOL!

 

[koteka]

I see it as: if you want to take a run at our prospects in Cleveland, you better be ready to fight.

I like the trade because I have been concerned about what happens if we do try to develop top prospects in the AHL. You need somebody out there to fight if someone goes after the future of the franchise.

Deslaurier is a starting lineup player. But Oliver can only play against certain teams, like Minnesota. Regarding the 4th round, if someone has 2 picks in the 1th round, one pretty high, and a lot of talented youngsters, losing one 4th rounder won't kill them. And youngsters in Cleveland need similar player too.

 

[Youngguns80]

He is signed to a one-way deal. Yikes!!! Welcome to Nationwide Press Box.

 

[DougKnowsBest]

Worth more then domi

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[Viqsi]

Basically he was the extra fill-in guy on the Herd line. Old Time Style Bruiser.

I prefer spending assets on him than on someone like Kassian, but otherwise, enh.

Seems like unless the 4th round pick turns into something this will be one of those trades that's a "o yeah, he played for the jackets. I forgot about him." kinda deal.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Stupid trade. It’s unlikely, but possible, the fourth rounder turns into a productive NHL player. Unlike Olivier.

Guess Jarmo felt intimidated by the elite Minnesota Wild, who we play twice a year and have won a grand total of… 0 playoff series in the past 7 years.
