[DopeyFish]

wtf

who even is this guy

 

[Cor]

Okay I guess lol

 

[Once]

Oh noooo not another 7th round pick that might become the next Zetterberg.

 

[ottomaddox]

Nice

Cap Hit Plz

 

[hamzarocks]

I guess he's the #7/8 for next year

 

[Menzinger]

Menel has been an interesting guy to follow when he was with the Wild. He's performed and developed fairly well but their coaches never quite seemed to want to give him a chance.

A lot of question marks, but could be an interesting payoff if he pulls it together

 

[TheDoldrums]

Tell me you don't believe in Liljegren without telling me you don't believe in Liljegren

 

[ACC1224]

Never heard of him.
Any chance he's the best player not currently in the NHL?

 

[ottomaddox]

Seems like a depth for the Marlies...

 

[crump]

Scoring depth on Right D. Liljegren competition.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Holl
Sandin Liljegren
Hutton Menell

Dermott gone? Liljegren getting a promotion?

 

[hamzarocks]

What's the condition? He plays a playoff game?

 

[Menzinger]

Never heard of him.
Any chance he's the best player not currently in the NHL?

I wouldn't say that, but He could potentially be an NHLer.

He's a guy who needs a bit of playing time to show one way or the other

A good write up about him
Top 25 Under 25: Brennan Menell jumps up to #12

 

[ACC1224]

Does this allow them to move on from Rielly?

 

[zeke]

I like him. nice gamble.

But I sure hope we are free to send him up and down from the marlies and aren't stuck keeping him on the big club like we were with Lehtonen.

 

[zeke]

What's the condition? He plays a playoff game?

30gms

 

[hamzarocks]

30gms

Unlikely to be met. Good job by dubas for getting a depth price for most likely no asset

Will be a playoff option should we see the rookies suck or have injuries

 

[Anthrax442]

Is this anothe r"Soo Special" or smtn?

 

[Mitch nylander]

Amazing trade.

 

[hamzarocks]

Does this allow them to move on from Rielly?

If the goal is to miss the playoffs then yes.

Menell would be a dermott replacement

A rielly replacement we don't have as of yet.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Is this anothe r"Soo Special" or smtn?

No played in the WHL. He was the top scoring dman in the KHL at 23. Was one of the best offensive defensemen in the A, two years prior. Excellent deal.
