I was gonna say Edmonton but then I remembered who we were talking about

He was doing alright, but players called up to cover for injuries have been better

 

[QcFlames12]

This is odd..

Seems kinda weird to be honest.

Isles COULD potentially put in a claim here due to injuries but highly unlikely.

I kinda hope so, so he could be reunited with his buddy Kuhnhackl

 

[seafoam]

If he clears will we see Ho-Sang for Reider?

 

[Super Hans]

Ottawa can pick him up so Melnyk can scapegoat him as the reason they missed the playoffs.

I had some high hopes when he entered the league with Arizona. Seemed like a hard working guy, and he flirted with 20 goals, 40 points a few times.

I didn't follow his career when he went to LA (for Kuemper, who is such a good backup he's actually a great starter) and Edmonton. What happened to the guy? Only time I remember hearing his name is when whatshisname in Edmonton blamed him for ruining the team's whole season.

Works hard, but can't finish anymore.

trotz can turn chicken crap into chicken salad so you never know .

Likely want to reward someone from Stockton with NHL time, more than Rieder being bad. He's been fine as a 12/13 F role

 

[CraigsList]

Was pretty good as a 4th liner and some brief stints on the 3rd line when we needed some mixing up to do. Solid PKer too. Sounds like a Trotz kind of player.

 

[Dan Kelly]

We Oiler fans told you he sucked !!

 

[Pointteen]

Just impressed he scored.

Bad injury that robbed him of his speed. He became pretty pedestrian.

 

[Llamamoto]

He has more goals this season than the Oilers current entire bottom-6 combined.

 

[Mobiandi]

Vanilla player. Fast but doesn't really excel at anything else

 

[Bounces R Way]

He hasn't been bad, but he hasn't really been good either. Little weird to see him already waived. Got to think there's something else happening.

That's alright, James Neal has the same amount of goals as our leading scorers have points.

 

[CraigsList]

He scored one more goal here than his entire tenure in Edmonton. Just shows poor usage by Edmonton.

 

[Dan Kelly]

But 1 goal and point in 9 games was proper use by the Flames? Ya that must be it

 

[Mick Jagr]

So this guy isn't an NHL player, right? 4 teams in 4 years. He may be speedy, but thats about all he is. Time to let this dude float back to Europe.

Toby was a no cost acquisition. A useful asset whether in Calgary or in Stockton. I believe he was waived because he was taking a spot from Mangiapane or Czarnik both of whom played better when they were inserted into the line-up. At the same time, Reider was bounced around and never given a chance to settle in. This is my biggest gripe about Bill Peters. His blendo-matic approach to creating lines. The plug and play approach will get him fired one day.

 

[YP44]

good for him earning a contract as a PTO. Getting more heat on here that if he just were nto offered a contract.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Kind of an odd time to waive him unless there is an AHL forward they are wanting to give some time to. We don't have anyone coming off injury either.

Precursor to another move?
