Confirmed with Link: CBJ sign Andrew Bodnarchuk/Jaime Siefers/Brett Gallant/John Ramage

[Nanabijou]

Bodnarchuk on waivers.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He played well for a while but his game really fell off towards the end.

Agreed. Though we might need him again this year. Hopefully he doesn't get claimed.

it's a loss for Cleveland, less experienced guy for them to play with up there

so it hurts a little even though I never seen him being physical enough to produce at NHL level

my 2 cents

Pretty much. Good AHL player and NHL depth.

Other than that is there anything else you can tell avs fans about the guy?

but...a spot for Werenski!!!!

 

[Nordique]

Good skill, smart decision maker, undersized and overmatched at times in his own end. Better at defending in space than working on the wall.

I think he's a legit 5/6 in the NHL.

What Nordique said. We can quibble over "legit" but he's not out of place there, how's that.

He's 27 years old and played 21 NHL games

size and strength 2 negatives

Saw him play every game lost a few battles with guys like Malkin/Thorton
As do a lot of D regardless of size ,but he competed hard every night
Smart with the puck and great first pass.

Not a top 4 pairing but definitely can play in the NHL.

 

[Nanabijou]

Would have been nice for him to help out the Monsters. But, it's a better deal for him to get more time on an NHL roster, so best wishes to him.

Don't know if this will entice Hejda to stay in Lake Erie longer.

 

[We Want Ten]

I thought Bodnarchuk and Falk made a decent pairing.

 

[blahblah]

Good for him, I hope this is a start of a long career for him.

I agree with this. He'll need more time to really prove that he's an NHLer, but has more than earned continued time for now. I think what he brought to the Jackets in passing/smarts/puckmoving was really valuable.

I wish Falk was sent through waivers instead.

 

[CBJfan4evr]

Nice speed, decent passing out of the zone, overmatched at times by bigger forwards. Nice asset. Poor roster management...

 

[NotWendell]

I think he's a legit 7/8 defender in the NHL. Too small, not strong enough along the boards to be a top six. I'd rather keep Falk.
