Confirmed with Link: Gaudette on waivers, claimed by Ottawa

[Mrfenn92]

Good luck to him

 

[Mrfenn92]

Strome next please

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Strome next please

I think they will after the WJC and call up Reichel.

Shit, Connolly would probably be an upgrade on some of the plugs on the 3rd/4th line.

Maybe my guess by deadline time they will have found a new place for Dylan.

Keep Connelly with Reichel

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Keep Connelly with Reichel

I'd actually call up that whole line and waive Strome. Send down plugs like Reese Johnson and Hardman.

I don't think that they can call up Connolly foeunless Strome gets claimed on waivers. (Cap)

Btw I'd bet if the Hawks waived Strome Ottawa would claim him too.

Another great example of this team horrible asset management.

They gave up Highmore for him. In other words, they gave up nothing.

 

[TLEH]

Stupid though, because I think he actually can be something in this league and the reason we waived him is because ....Derek King doesn't know him? What the f***.

 

[featherhawk]

knew he would get claimed

 

[Larmer83]

Is the reason he was waived is that Tyler Johnson is coming off LTIR?

may be a factor TJ is close

It’s just terrible with the players that are on this roster who mean nothing to the hawks future. At least he has some upside as little as it could be.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Nope.

 

[Blackhawks]

Nope.

Gaudette is garbage and Johnson is garbage and Strome is garbage, should I continue the garbage list is long

Let me guess, you think everyone is garbage except Kane and Cat. (And maybe Jones)

 

[Giovi]

He's a guy who, if he's not contributing offensively, offers nothing. He's a bad fit on the 4th, and couldn't establish himself anywhere else. And they gave up a guy who was easily replaced, to get him. It's really not the catastrophe you're making it out to be.

 

[Blackhawks]

Wow what a cool guess little buddy lol, what on earth are you talking about? What an awesome conclusion you pulled out of nowhere lol

Gaudette has no value.

He was acquired by trading Highmore, who has no value.

 

[BK]

Wow what a cool guess little buddy lol, what on earth are you talking about? What an awesome conclusion you pulled out of nowhere lol

We should just go through the exercise of listing them out. How about 3 categories: Garbage, Just a guy, and player of value?

Just a guy can have value in the right situation imo.

 

[ClydeLee]

Hawks gained a roster slot, go Euro shopping time

 

[giza]

I have to think Nylander will walk through the door now.....let's hope he plays with some desperation for once.

 

[featherhawk]

Nope.

that sucks, I read this week that he was...must have had a setback.

 

[featherhawk]

I have to think Nylander will walk through the door now.....let's hope he plays with some desperation for once.

his numbers in Rockford indicate that he is playing well against AHL competition anyway...

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Gaudette was a waivers guy. Can have a dozen of him every year.

From Scott Powers post-game article yesterday;


What about Alex Nylander? King provided the organization’s assessment.
“The consistency has been a problem with him, I think, up here,” King said. “And then, when we had him down there, in the short time I had him there, it was kind of the same. He does some really good things with the puck — it’s that playing without the puck, and he’s just got to get working on that. But he’s missed a whole year of hockey, so we just got to get him back up and running.”

So unless something has changed in the time since King moved up to the Hawks, sounds like the same old Nylander......inconsistent effort away from the puck. Doesn't sound like he's ready.
