McMillan's #22 isn't available in Vancouver. Maybe he'll troll Tricia and take #42.

 

[ck26]

Au revoir, Tricia's brother. Not at all surprised to see him get picked up, but not staying up late worrying about his departure. Lots of try.

Olli Jokinen turned into Lombardi, Prust and a 1st (Brandon Gormley).
Lombardi became McMillan.
McMillan became Arcobello.

Arcobello becomes McDavid. Well, we can all dream.

He was great last season and early this season. He faded. Guys like him need to go 100% all of the time or they don't stick. Good luck to him.

Yeah; he's been serviceable at times at least. Too bad he doesn't fit into the long term plan, and only has limited capabilities and not much outside an energy role.

We will need a couple cheap youngsters similar to him in a year or two to fill out the bottom line.

Klinkhammer 2.0.

Good. One less regular NHLer on a roster that needs to fail. An inexperienced Martinook takes his place.

I liked everything McMillan did away from the puck. When he got the puck on his stick he didn't seem to have the skill to do something with it at the NHL level. He had great speed, was nice on the forecheck to disrupt the breakout, and I never had any major complaints with his defensive play. I would have been fine with him staying, and frankly I think it's silly that a guy like Chip or Crombeen doesn't get waived instead as I don't find them as useful as McMillan.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I love the fact he's gone, he was a terrible 'forechecker'. He never created any turnovers or disrupted anything with his forecheck.

I'd say he was moderately average on the PK, so after a stunning 3 pts in 50 games, yeah...I'd say I'm ok with him leaving.

At least Arcobello looks like he can actually do something with the puck if he gets it. Which is 10x better than what McMillan could do with the puck when he got it.

You guys can forget about Hodgemen ever getting a 2nd chance. Something tells me that the conversation about him moving back down to Portland didn't go well, hence his name is never mentioned by anyone...he'll be a 1 & done with the Coyotes.

McMillan is like that ginger kid the Coyotes had last year (the one that looked like it could have been carrot tops mini me) A lot of try and zero finish.


Thanks for fixing this Mouser, I posted this while I was at work.

I think you're referring to Bolduc, and he is our current 3rd line center.

He's talking about our former 1st line center, Tim Kennedy.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Wasn't Tim Kennedy also ginger ish?

Yup.

I think you are right about Hodgman.

Pretty much this. Hope he can turn it around.

That's the guy I was thinking of..oh tiny Tim..so much try..always thought he could

How can I forget the Tim Kennedy experiment...That was probably when I first started questioning Tippett.

 

[KG]

Singuary must be dancing in jubilation after this news

he's barely deserving of a "thanks but no thanks" thread.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Good to see you guys aren't incensed that he hasn't gone down to the minors.
