Waived: Dano on waivers (Mod: Claimed by the Avs)

[GNP]

Niku and Griffith look like NHL players playing in the AHL. Suess looked solid the 2 games I watched as well.

________________________________________________________

I agree with you Pucka Lucka--that Suess guy really looked good to me as well. He doesn't get to much attention on these boards "yet"-- but I wouldn't mind seeing him being called up this year for injuries to see what he can do --"he may surprise." Looks like a good skater, with decent speed, and he's also a good size I believe.

Had we signed Ladd we would have lost Buff , i wouldn't have cared if we got nothing for Ladd , we gained a Big Buff by getting rid of Ladd .

Dano was good depth at a paltry 800 grand. So what do we have now? Let's hope no one ever gets hurt. No one does in the NHL. We should be fine then. We let him go to make him feel better about things? Really? Lemieux is not going to fix this. Maybe his dad had something to say about this.

If It was all about the 800 grand, I will gladly set up a Go Fund me page to try to recoup the costs.

 

[potroaster]

Long live Petan!!

 

[almostawake]

A big pile of "meh" all around. Dano's highly unlikely to amount to much at the NHL level. Jets have plenty of depth outside him.

Best of luck to him in securing another NHL contract.

For now it looks like depth in order is Lemieux, Petan and then I'd guess opportunities for guys on the Moose (Suess, Appleton, Spacek, Griffith)

If people want Dano back , maybe the Jets can claim him off of waivers when Colorado puts him back on waivers later in the year or next season.

 

[Guffman]

Looks liked quite a few NHL teams passed on Dano given that Colorado was the team that picked him up. That suggests to me that he didn’t have that much trade value and had a chance to actually clear waivers.

Well, it was time to move on. Can’t be too upset when we replace a player with better alternatives.

Dailyfaceoff.com has Dano listed as 6' 11". Amazing what getting out from under the draconian thumb of Jets management does! He was so oppressed he grew almost a foot just by leaving

Dano is hard pressed to be 5'11'' More like 5'9''.

Well, that's a bit of a stretch.

Maybe they pulled a switcheroo and sent Stanley over instead. He’s wearing 3 inch lifts as part of his disguise.

23 teams passed prior to the Avs, 15 of which missed playoffs last season.

There has always been a overvaluing on Dano on this forum. We were not getting anything of value for him, he was never going to see regular ice with us.

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Little-Ehlers
Copp-Lowry-Tanev
Laine/Petan-Roslovic-Lemieux

Since we're using a line for development this year, might as well use this time to teach Laine how to play hockey.

Until November 1, the waiver priority is last year's final standings from worst-to-first, so only 14 teams passed on him (all missed the playoffs). And might I remind you, the Jets are winless in the post-Dano era...

They're also on a point streak.

 

[cbcwpg]

Maybe Dano wanted to be waived or traded?

I challenge that sample size...

I think most players in his shoes would want that. Maybe he wasn't in top shape for his first couple of camps, but he evidently worked hard this summer, had a good camp/preseason and found himself right back in the same pressbox spot. I'm sure he did ask.

...back in the pressbox because a few young prospects had passed him in the overall depth chart. You can't really afford to take a couple of years off when you are 21 years old...

Marko Dano is the new Lee Stempniak.

Speaking of old Lee:

https://www.tsn.ca/bruins-not-planning-to-sign-stempniak-1.1193153

He's available! Now is the time to start a write in campaign to TNSE demanding he is re-signed. A gofundme campaign may also help.

Well, you can't really afford to waste away in the pressbox for another year at 23, either. I don't know if he's been legitimately passed by anyone, but I think it would make sense for him to ask to be moved one way or the other at this stage.
