I'm curious to see if this creates a roster spot to get down to 48.

Man, I hate to see Flick go. I thought in time he would be a great 4th liner.

He has played poorly all year with Hogs this year

He has very limited upside and his defensive game is lacking

Nope. He has 1 more year left on his ELC.

Eh, we've got more than enough of those in the system better than him.

Sauvé has an NHL contract and so did Flick, so I think we're still at 49.

This is a minor win, only in the sense that I think Sauvé will help the Hogs more than Flick would.

I don't expect either to ever spend significant time in the NHL.

Funny to see the difference so far between Flick and Shaw. Same age, signed one-year AHL contracts together, but one is contributing to the best team in the NHL, and the other is bouncing around in the minors.

 

[Hawkaholic]

More than likely just a move to help the Hogs. Flick is terrible and takes bad penalties. He was probably heading to the ECHL anyway.

I really liked Flick when he was drafted. Thought he would have been the guy filling the Shaw role by this point. Oh well.

I know he leveled out but this Suave looks like an Olimb type of prospect to me (although I am just reading about him now). Seems like a skill guy who isn't skilled enough for the top 6 in the NHL. In the end, neither are of too much importance. If anything, this guy might be a replacement for St. Pierre.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Eh, dimes for nickles or nickles for dimes. Nothing to get excited about either way.

 

[Illinihockey]

Who is going to start brawls and goon it up for the Hogs now?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

They still have Beach right?

Exactly

Suave is quality 2 way player who can line up on 3rd line for Hogs and play shutdown role

First Paradis, now Flick. Teams are plucking our grit prospects, who's biggest issue from what I can see is the poor coaching they're getting in the minors. I don't like this deal at all. Perhaps his development is a bit sluggish but I predict he plays for Bruins one day.

Sauve has the blood lines, but yet another small forward that Stan likes so much.

Grit doesn't do you much good if it will never be in the NHL (Flick/Paradis)

Anyone upset about this trade needs to wake up.

Bollig?

This trade isn't even worth mentioning. Terrible players.

 

[Sevren]

Sauve is 6'2". Not exactly small. Made of glass and always injured, but not small. He has size, speed and skills. Very sad to see him go before we could give him a real chance. Not sure he will get a chance with your team neither considering you already have so much talent.

Epitome of a slow news day.

 

[Bubba88]

hey, he was the 1st player to be traded... and they didn't even showed a picture of him

this is all about the Hogs. LW Paradies away, ECHL Center away and LW Sauve in

Oh, I'm wide awake. Giving up on 21 year old kids, barely turned pro and with talent, spirit and git to their game is never wise. Bruins and TB see something. Perhaps we'll revisit in 3 or 4 years to see where Paradis and Flick are.

Both players have showed a lot less than Beach, and Flick was never talented.

Paradis hasn't improved his game since we got him.

These are all AHL deals.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Energy guys with fourth line upside are a dime a dozen.

 

[Sarava]

This trade doesn't really matter
