Dahlbeck replacement

 

[Gwyddbwyll]

His +10 in 27 games this season stands out a bit.

Impressive coming from CBJ.

Our top +/- is Duclair at 6, so this guy instantly leads our team.

I briefly checked the CBJ board and they intimated that his +/- is a bit skewed because he didn't play in any of the early games; still, if he's a better shutdown guy than we currently possess, I wouldn't mind letting Dahlbeck go to the A and go back to being a two-way guy instead of continue the experiment of turning him into Zbynek Michalek.

EDIT: Dahlbeck is not waiver-exempt. Crapola.

Oh, it's Latin? Had no idea. My translation is better.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Those waiver claims.... also why John Chayka was hired.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Connauton will wear #44 for the Mutts.

 

[MIGs Dog]

This guy really likes him.

Has some offensive skills to boot. 9/12/21 last season in 62 games

Is All-Star Captain John Scott going to be in Springfield before he makes it to Nashville? Or are we going to see another move?

EDIT: Apparently, yes, the big man is going to be the only NHL All-Star playing in the AHL.

Who?

 

[SniperHF]

Dahlbeck replacement

Did I miss something?

 

[TheLegend]

As someone noted on Twitter.... Elliot's been a healthy scratch.

 

[SniperHF]

Seems unlikely given his performance/contract but maybe they have a way to unload Downie.

Packaging Dalhbeck with him perhaps.

cant help by wonder why some of you people think Dalhbeck is a bad defensemen. He's young and growing with a great future.

 

[Mosby]

...How long can we exceed the 23 roster limit?

Has to be at 23 before the next game, which is why Scott is at least paper-transacted to the AHL today.

Not saying he is a bad defenseman or we want him out. Maybe it's Elliot, or Stone leaving.

Just makes sense that it's Klas because of handedness and projected role on defense.

Looks like a great acquisition.

FWIW, Connauton seems reasonably well thought of by Jackets fans. Also has pretty nice stats on a garbage team, though in limited minutes. I don't know much about him directly though. Seems they just had to re-arrange their deck chairs and he's the odd man out with Werenski and Jones in the fold.

I don't think people are looking to chuck Dahlbeck overboard. This was a good opportunity to improve the D Depth so Maloney took it. Now he's gotta maneuver a bit.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm not ready to give up on Dahlbeck yet. I think he has an upside of being worthy of an NHL roster spot on a winning team in the 5-6 slot but not just yet.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Dahlbeck is the same age as OEL, drafted in the same draft.

At the current moment, he is a below average 3rd liner. KConn (nickname on Columbus Boards) I have to think brings more offensively than Dahlbeck with equal or better defense. I think this is an upgrade.

I like Dahlbeck as a depth dman, but since we're still got Grossman/Michalek/Elliott in the fold, someone has to be out, and we're certainly not going to be moving the beefier Grossman or the opposite shooting Z/Elliott so Dahlbeck has to be the odd man out.
