Confirmed with Link: Jackets claim Corey Tropp off waivers

[JrussJacket]

Good banger, perfect energy guy, he likes to bang around. However, his awareness/vision is lacking especially when he is going for a hit. He will get smoked by a big hit from time to time. He also blew out his knee and head (concussion IIRC) and had not been quite the same guy he was this year as two years ago. Lat year was a lost cause rehabbing his knee. Dont expect and offense. He also got into a stick fight years ago so he does have an edge. Goes by the nickname of Milkbags

Likes to bang....Milkbags

Got it!

Jarmo can trade Gabby now.

 

[blahblah]

Well something to distract me for tonight's game.

 

[Halfboard]

Well, I guess the relief Tropp(s) have arrived????


Sorry

May even get a new CBJ sponser...Troppicana.

Sorry x 2

I'm hoping if he gets in a fight the announcers take advantage of the situation to call:

"Tropp, Hammer time."

Edit: and I'm NOT sorry

Little cost to add an experienced fourth liner to upgrade from Collins. Tropp-Chaput-Skille might be a useful line until the injured forwards begin to return. If it doesn't work out, not much has been ventured.

Hopefully he can be as good as our last waiver pickup Colton Gillies.

Please refer to him by his full title

Colton Gilles, Offensive Juggernaut

Ahem.

This does absolutely nothing for me. Another 4th liner. Just what we need. Wasn't good enough for the Sabres, but good enough for us? I just don't see the point.

It could very easily be a temporary move until we get some of our injured players back. This helps keep the kids playing down in the AHL as opposed to coming up here and getting their ***** kicked. He already has NHL experience and he's basically a warm body that we will probably re-waive once we get our guys back, or he comes in, surprises everybody and kicks major ass and we got him for nothing.

It's not like we can get much worse... and if we do, then we're just guaranteed the number 2 overall pick when Edmonton jumps us again.

And who says I'm not optimistic?

Lol.

Yea, I see the logic behind it, but it does nothing for me. Maybe the guy is a pleasant surprise. Who knows.

Based on this guys history, don't see any help there

 

[Mayor Bee]

For those keeping track at home, that's 49/50 contract spots now filled.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Got an assist in his debut

 

[dnmccoy]

I didnt think he looked too bad for his first game. I saw him have a few solid hits and he was always going for the puck .

 

[Dr. Fire]

Looked pretty good last night. I was in a very bad mood at work yesterday, but the CBJ made me feel better after the win. Let's see what happens with this guy.

He should be a ppg player for you guys. Not many teams can say they sport a ppg player on their 4th line
