Chaput coming to AZ.

Chaput's AHL money is 275k. Weal's is $1.75M.

We can demote Chaput when Dvo is ready.

Man, did Weal suck.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Weal in the sky, he's been traded...
Don't know where he'll play tomorrow...

Loved Chaput as a QMJHL player. He was incredible for Shawinigan in the Memorial Cup. Gormley was also on that team. Obviously Chaput is not an NHL player and was acquired to help Tucson out, while saving some money in the process. But he’s a really good lower level player and I think the Roadrunners will enjoy this trade.

Man he was wealy wealy bad.
But ok for a wealy weal player.

I would have liked Brooks MAcek more, but i think that that guy was off limits.

Exactly. It’s just a cash consideration. I will say I was surprised by how poorly Weal fit in. I expected him to be at least as effective as Archibald. Nope. Glad we cut bait.

I completely forgot Weal existed yesterday. Don’t even recall him playing

 

[RABBIT]

i thought it was a weird trade at first trading a righty center for a lefty center but I'm realizing this is for the Roadrunners and it saved us money so I'm content with it.

No weal loss here.

He had one pretty good play last night. Another time I thought he had a great play but it turned out it was Archibald when I caught the jersey number. Haha.

Weal wouldn't have cleared waivers to Tucson, I don't think (although by rights he should have given how he played here). Good organizational work by Chayka here.

DVO is back too, part of why they cut bait

 

[moosemeister]

Anything to get rid of Weal honestly. Dude was useless

 

[Name Nameless]

So, the great TL-wait is over?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Lord save me from tunnel-visioned stat-heads.

 

[StevenF1919]

I expected Weal to be much better than he actually was. Was a decent gamble at the time but he didn't pan out.

 

[Edenjung]

Lord save me from tunnel-visioned stat-heads.

THe argument in the comments to this twitter post are wealy funny

Lord save me from tunnel-visioned stat-heads.

Yeah. What a take. Honestly I love vstats but people need to watch the games.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

Chaput already has a goal for the yotes...nevermind that was chiarot

 

[_Del_]

I know Dvo is back, and Chaput is already in the A and doesn't have to clear, so he's going to stay in Tucson, but -- I'd honestly have given Chaput a NHL roster spot over Weal at this point.
Had sort of hoped Weal would be a good fill in with his history. Maybe even a little untapped potential to show with expanded opportunity, but he looked so out of sync with everything happening here. Not sure why he looked so bad as he's always been a respectable 4C guy who put up some numbers at lower levels.
As someone said above, we took a chance, and I'm glad we're turning that page. Also thrilled for the second year in a row that management is actually paying attention to pur farm team. Hope Chaput helps them keep rolling.

Haha. Nevermind that they’re being acquired to play in different leagues.

 

[Plub]

Addition by subtraction. He was terrible.

 

[Summer Rose]

Thanks for the 0 goals, Weal.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

He had a goal against the flames the other night...

 

[hbk]

Thanks for the 0 goals, Weal.

1 goal. 1 assist in 19 games.

I still can't get over the stats take that this was a steal for Montreal. Epic bad take. Talk about not understanding the macro environment.
