I think he has already cleared. Probably traded for an AHL body.

Petan and a 7th will get you a 6th.

Feel bad for the guy. He had so much potential. He never really got much of a chance with the Jets, but he never really forced them to either. He looked so good in Portland, but doesn't seem to have taken the next step.

24 year old w/ over 100 NHL games played and only 24 lifetime points is not exactly going to be a hot commodity

Couldn't make either the Jets or Leafs top 12 forward positions.......good kid but virtually zero value. AHL or Europe is calling.

they shop these guys because the contract limit obv

not so much because of value... they're just looking for other junk they want

I hate this narrative. So tired of this. People look at him as just a player struggling to adapt. I would struggle too if my dad killed himself during my pro career. I never post here but it's unbelievable that we overlook the personal life of players. They're still people. I wouldn't blame him for not making it.

People attack Milan Lucic because he's a tough guy. The same thing happened to him with his dad. And we still find ways to distance ourselves from them. They're people too
Which narrative is that?

Seeing as he was playing for my hometown team when this tragedy struck his family, I'm well aware of it. I just don't think it's something that needs to be dragged out as soon as his name is mentioned.

I also don't think it's something he would use as an excuse for how he's performed in the NHL.

Factually speaking, he had already displayed that his success in the WHL and WJC might not translate to the NHL well before he suffered this loss.

Again, really not sure what you mean by "this narrative," but if not making his dad's suicide the focal point of my post makes you think I'm pushing some agenda, maybe it's best that you post infrequently.
