*sigh* I forgot what a trade deadline for a lottery team felt like.

#CBJ sends Detroit's third-round pick (2015) to Anaheim along with James Wisniewski.

 

[DJA]

So a guy on waivers and not even a 1st?

 

[Samkow]

What the **** are you doing Jarmo?

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Dang really wanted Wiz to stay.

Karlsson is a really good prospect guys. Has 1B centre type upside, his hockey sense and playmaking ability are through the roof. He's about a year away from being ready to contribute, he wasn't out of place this season but he still has a bit of bulking up to do.

Him being included is likely why you guys had to take on Bourque.

No salary retained in Wiz trade to Anaheim from Columbus

 

[DJA]

No salary retained though, so that's cool

 

[jackets4life]

I like it. i love it. I want some more of it. Karlsson is going to be a really good player for us.

I can't speak for Karlsson but we just opened up a huge hole on an already weak part of our roster that'll be tough to fill.

 

[Gliff]

You guys will be really happy with karlsson. He has the highest upside of all the Ducks forward prospects to me. In a couple years he is gonna be very very good.

"My time in Columbus has been fantastic... We were just snakebitten with injuries." - Wisniewski on #CBJ

The arms race for Swedes with great hair flow is heating up for the CBJ.

 

[Socks]

Man. I'll miss Wiz.

 

[db2011]

Sad to me

 

[zelbell]

Mike Reilly????

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We're going to regret this deal.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Kicking the can, kicking the can.

 

[Matthew]

I feel like Wiz lived up to exactly what we wanted when he was signed. He filled a hole that was desperately needed for a long time.

Now he's gone. And the hole is re-opened.

 

[zelbell]

Man. I'll miss Wiz.

Yup, was one of my favorites

 

[Samkow]

Mike Reilly????

Hell, if Minny goes out early, he might be QBing our Power Play by April.

 

[EspenK]

If we were going to tank for the future wouldn't it have been better to start sooner?

 

[MAHJ71]

Got sick looking at that return...

Not what I wanted at all, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Only positive is he is going to a contender - and deserves at least that much.
