You got me. My guess is if the refs saw it, it would have been a penalty shot. Unless the fact that it was lying on a pad and not on directly on the ice surface? Kind of a weird technicality if that's the case.
Little +8 Good for 19th best of all forwards in the league. All guys ahead of him are on teams with better records
James Wright was a great pickup. Come to think of it, the waiver-wire, all things considered, has been pretty good for the Jets. Peluso seems better then many expected, even if it is in a very limited role, Clitsome is giving us okay minutes, Miettinen has had a string of bad luck, but is an otherwise decent utility forward. Not bad considering it cost us nothing but a little bit of cash to make this all happen.
By my count 5 current roster players have been waiver wire pickups (Mittens, Clitsome, Peluso, Wright, Tangradi) while the jury is still out on some of them they are all still hanging around. I think it says more about the lack of depth this organization had moving from Atlanta. Obviously Chevy sees this group of players as a step up from what he has available on the farm.
This franchise really has a history with it's waiver wire pick-ups
I liked all of the Jets pick-ups except MacLean.
Clitsome is a good #7th defenseman, don't forget that. No need to waive him once we are healthy on the blue line (if we will ever be healthy).
Mittens also is a usable bottom-6 piece and Peluso could be a very nice 4th liner (he looked good yesterday I'd say).
Wright - Slater - Peluso
COULD be our 4th line for years to come.
... and don't forget the best waiver pick-up in NHL history: Rich Peverley
Even if it was the Thrashers
Doesn't the title of the thread say that?
All hail Peverly and him being worth Slater and Wheeler.
*Stuart and Wheeler.
And don't forget we had to give up future Norris contender Boris Valabik in the trade!
Nice to see Burmi doing well for you guys.
Was a big fan of his ever since his pre-draft interviews where he talked about how the KHL is a league for old men lol.
