Confirmed Trade: [LAK/OTT] Christian Wolanin for Michael Amadio

[Lt Dan]

Poor Drew? He's trash.

lol (I am laughing at you, not with you)

 

[LAKings88]

Amadio has talent and some vision in brief flashes. Not very fast. A non factor most nights. Top line AHLer but bottom six forward.

Another Shore, Weal, Kozun, Vey, etc. etc.

Wolanin really looked good in his first callup with us,providing some decent secondary puck moving ability...But he had bad injury to his shoulder,and it has set him back...Also him being 26 and a likely UFA it just made sense...Hopefully it can work for both teams ,but with prospect pools both team possess...It does seem unlikely

 

[LAKings88]

A nothing to lose trade for depth in needed areas.

Blake said we needed to get bigger Wolanin does that at 6 '2 Let him play in the ahl and hopefully in a couple weeks he ll replace MacDermid on the nhl roster

Lol, I haven't been on HF in some time. People still Doughty is good? Amazing.

 

[Yog S'loth]

Ah, Craig's kid.

I guess picking up Claude's kid wasn't enough this week.

Kings sure love kids.

Hasn't worked out great for Andy's kid thus far. Mixed bag for Paul's kid. Alfie's kid is struggling, but we still have high hopes. Jussi's kid is admittedly a longshot.

His point totals look all right so far. Can't complain from our end.

Today is a good day!

He has some offensive flair but he plays like he’s 5’9 so the size isn’t really a big plus with Wolanin

 

[BigHabs]

I'm surprised Kings got something for Amadio. They put him on waivers. Senators could have claimed him without giving up any assets. To me, this may clue in on how good/bad is Wolanin.

Alot of the time it has to do with contracts. Sens are 45/50 maybe they don't want to be over 45 contracts possibly.

Well since our defense suck at getting any offensive production (other then drew) I'll take what i can get

 

[TootooTrain]

No clue who Wolanin is but thank god we got rid of Amadio.

Lose lose trade then. I thought highly of Wolanin, then i saw him play.

Yeah, but does he own a cute dog called truffels, or bumfy or something. Thats almost as important in LA

 

[voxel]

Amadio and other vets seemed to solidify the AHL Reign from the last game I saw but I guess this address the need for a better backend for the Reign.

 

[seafoam]

Man I am so out of the loop, I thought Amadio was LA’s next Jarret Stoll, aka grindey 3C with a little offense.

I had high hopes he'd fill that role the last couple of seasons. He's been frustrating because you'll see some great play from Amadio and then it's gone..

Wolanin does not play a “big game”

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Two tweeners traded to see if something sparks in a new location, nothing more

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Amadio back to Ontario - exactly what the doctor ordered.

 

[Liver King]

Hopefully a win win

Looks like both guys could use a change

 

[MMC]

I remember when Kings fans used to claim this guy was the most underrated prospect in the league

 

[funky]

I liked the fact we had a guy like Amadio in the AHL to show the young pups just how good a person could be and not stick in the NHL. He was around the Kings enough to learn the pro lifestyle and what it took and he did at one time have good skill.

he is still a high skill player at the AHL level and I think that was a bonus for our youth.

hope he does okay in Ottawa.

 

[trentmccleary]

People said that Wolanin looked better when he played under Guy Boucher, but defensemen usually look better under defensive coaches.

I haven't liked what I've seen. He looks alright skating the puck from the faceoff dot to the blueline, like something might happen. It never does. He's soft defensively and he started the season by running around the D-zone like a chicken with it's head cut off. That said, he could still have a future as the offensive partner on a bottom pairing, but some assembly will be required.

he was phenomenal in juniors and then in the ahl, he played a bit like mike richards, and then when he got to the nhl he showed he had the physical fortitude of a wet piece of bread

cant believe hes finally gone lmao im so happy

i dont see a spot for wolanin with the kings, but if he can help settle things down defensively for the reign im game
