Confirmed with Link: Khudobin to Ducks for Wisniewski

[CandyCanes]

He's not that kind of player. Don't get that excited.

To late lol.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Doby out, Wiz and Lack in

I'll take it

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Anyone else getting a bit concerned it hasn't ACTUALLY been confirmed yet?

Lots of "It'll happen sometime today...just not right now." Could the deal be hinged on the result of another deal?

 

[GoldiFox]

Gotta remember that typically other teams expendable players are an improvement on ours. Wiz slots right behind Faulk on our roster, he would've been close to sekera but beneath him as well. He's less consistent. He could have an impact but not like boychuk did. He's less consistently physical and not quite as solid defensively.

Like you said earlier he is a different type of player the Canes have. His point shot skill on the PP will help everyone be more effective. Opens everyone else up a little more.

What I like about Wisnieski is that he is a warrior. I'll never forget him taking a puck to the chest during a Playoff game in his Anaheim days and finishing his shift despite being in massive pain. Turns out he had a lung contusion.

Yep, especially the longer this drags out...

JK, RF confirms the deal

Yeah, Gibson needs to be moved and now that Edmonton got Talbot you have to wonder if he actually will be. Which is, you know, a problem.

 

[Caniac4ever]

Looks like Wiz has a NMC.... perhaps that's what's taking some time to get this done?

Well that's a pretty good source.

I thought I read he wasn't playing in the playoffs. I watched one or two of their games, and I don't remember.

I watched lots of their playoff games and he was scratched all the time. He was very pissed about it.

 

[What the Faulk]

So if no one else is signed (likely, I think), how does this shake out?

What about

Hainsey // Faulk
Hanifin // Wisniewski
Liles // Murphy
Jordan

No idea how Hainsey/Faulk played together, but here you're not rushing Hanifin or playing Wisniewski on his off side.

 

[Ole Gil]

He played 69 games during the regular season, and was getting a bit over 20 a game. (much more with Columbus than Anaheim)

Looks like he was benched the entire postseason in favor of Clayton Stoner? Or maybe Depres screwed up some Lefty-Righty stuff when they got him for Lovejoy.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

He had to have been pretty upset to waive his NTC to come to this dumpster fire.

EDIT: Actually, Wisniewski's NTC is one where he lists 10 teams he can't be traded to. Perhaps he didn't have to waive it.

He played 13 games with the Ducks. Spent most of the year with Columbus.

Yeah, was editing on the fly there.

 

[sheriff bart]

Wiz shoots like babs did, just at the net.

This made me LOL...hard.

He didn't really do that last year.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Don't forget #timgleson.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Think this has never been more appropriate....


(Thanks, SG)

 

[Zezima]

His offensive game sounds complimentary to Hainsey's play. Would be a great third pairing on a great team, a solid second pairing for us.

Now we just need to get Reggie back. While, as a Canes fan, I realize this is asking for too much, we should add another good (of at least the same quality as Wis) left D.


our depth:

x-Faulk
Hainsey-Wisniewski
Liles-Murphy
Fleury-x
Jordan-McKeown
x-Biega

and of course we'll see how Savior Hanifin fits

This video made me incredibly emotional. I'll miss Dobby's personality haha.

 

[DaveG]

Yep. We most definitely need to find another good LHD. I said GOOD Toronto, that means not Phaneuf.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

if we could get sekera back, our defense would actually be... good

 

[Buenos Necas]

If only we weren't paying Semin/Liles 10mil next year

 

[TheOllieC]

why stop there when cam ward is making over 6mil
