Claimed off Waivers: Ducks claim Pontus Aberg

[belair]

People were claiming because he was partying and on tinder all the time he wasn't focused and taking his job seriously.

He missed a practice in his first week. Can you blame them? This isn't a job at Walmart. These are million dollar athletes. That shit doesn't fly.

 

[Duck Off]

it's a smart pick up imo, but he's bottom six fodder. He's got some good wheels and makes some good plays

pretty much my exact thoughts as well. With all the injuries (Perry, Eaves, Kesler, and Gibbson) and the lack of a contract for Ritchie; we're needing some bodies. When Ritchie and Gibbons come back (likely first two back), he'll be in pressbox or waived. I like the pickup though. Nothing special, but solid.

I never said EDM should of given him another chance.

I simply said he needed a stable team to give him a chance. Somewhere he doesn't need to be relied on for offense. That's easier done in Anaheim than it is in Edmonton.

He played his way off Nashville. He just doesn’t have any drive. Maybe this will be a wake up call for him because he’s not going to get many more chances.

This guy sucks

I suppose we could claim Jaskin and try to sneak Aberg down for extra depth.

You can't sneak him down.

 

[bumperkisser]

This guy sucks

Like really sucked...

My favorite late Western Roman Empire General

Any chance Pontus Pilate Aberg gets waived or traded before Christmas ?

People like his head coach. Him not caring enough to be professional is why we called up Rattie in the first place last year. Apparently two games beside McDavid and RNH were enough for him.



And then he got hard outplayed by Rattie, Yams, Reider, and Pulju this preseason.

Only one game, but I've seen much better players in Swedish second league Hockeyallsvenskan.

Poor Aberg, we were so hyped for him.

At least he'll always have his 2 highlights:

 

[cska78]

I mean, Jaskin's been in the league 4+ years and hasn't broken 20 points once. He kinda made himself expendable.

I think he can be a good third liner in this league.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

This guy sucks

meh. didn't mind him. it's only one game.

 

[predfan24]

Poor Aberg, we were so hyped for him.

At least he'll always have his 2 highlights:

Games 5 & 6 against Anaheim and the goal against Maata in Pitt are the only reasons he still is on an active NHL roster right now. Completely underwhelming player. He is the definition of a coaster on the ice.

If he had the heart of someone like Arvidsson he would be a solid NHLer.

 

[McDonald19]

I'm sure he will be re-waived once a forward returns from IR or Ritchie signs.

 

[Hennessy]

This guy's so lazy he can't even be bothered to tell the media how to pronounce his name.

Pontus Oh-bear-e

 

[Hennessy]

Pontus Oh-bear-e

I don't expect any announcers to pronounce the "berg" part of Swedish names right, which is cool. But I have no idea why he lets people call him AY-berg. It's such an easy thing to correct.

 

[Kalost]

Did he show up to practice on time?

 

[MMC]

Did he show up to practice on time?

If he did it didn’t look like it

 

[GoJetsGo55]

ayyyberg lmao

Now all they need to do is make a trade for lmaolofsen.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I legit just had a dream where I ended up marrying Pontus and he retired from hockey early haha.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Good news for the teams in NHL, bad news for you.. :laugh;

Early retirement... So he was bad in your dream too?

He got outplayed by literally everyone including Caggiula with a sinus infection and Kassian with a busted give a shit.

Alex Chiasson has a fifth of Aberg’s talent but ten times his drive. Which is why he’s now here instead of Pontus.
