Welp, the Ribs experiment is over.

Looks like some decent point production.. more off ice issues???

 

[gratefulpred]

And Ribs and Fish is no longer on the menu!

 

[WetHotAmericanSutter]

Who replaces him?

No. He has just been bad defensively. His one trick is passing the puck and he doesn't really do anything else.

Who replaces him?

He has been a healthy scratch the last few, so I image they'll just keep on rolling.

 

[Paranoid Android]

Who replaces him?

Jarnkrok has been moved back to center

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Seems a little strange to this outsider. With the TD approaching wouldn't he have some value as a rental?

 

[NSH615]

After thinking about this, I can see someone picking him up. His real cap hit at this point is less than 1.5M and he is basically a free rental.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

I can see someone picking him up. Poile couldn't get anyone to trade for him it looks like and Ribs wanted out now and not at the deadline. Not good for the room to have him in there if he is unhappy.

A playoff team will pick him up for depth.

Was frustrating to watch a lot but he's not as terrible as many here have made him out to me.

My only thing with him, is he is down to being a one trick show. Pass the puck and nothing else.

Well, since he was waived he didn't have any trade value and since he's not playing it was just the people here not happy with him, the coaches agreed.

 

[BonMorrison]

Welp.

I will miss him holding onto the puck on the PP and then failing on a cross ice pass.

 

[sparkle twin]

Well this is an interesting end, I guess.


So long, Mike, thanks for your time here.

I think there are teams that would like to have him but not by giving anything up to get it done, hoping we'd just waive him.

100% agreed. You don't see 50p C's getting waived all the time.

Stupid move by Poile, could've gotten something out of him, or he could gone back into the lineup. Jarny-ribs-Smith would've worked. He wouldn't have taken the faceoffs.

Don't you think if Poile could have gotten something he would have?

 

[GeauxPreds]

Yeah I think its pretty clear that if we're waiving him no one was interested. We would have been lucky to get more than a 4th for him in all honesty.

What if this is a way to try to move the salary without getting anymore in return? maybe setting up for a trade soon?

 

[triggrman]

Anyone claimed him yet?

 

[LCPreds]

Duchene is coming.

(Or not)

 

[bdub24]

Hasta Mikey! You sure were a creative puck handler that controlled pace well when you were on top of your game. You can tell some of the kids picked a few tricks up from working with him.

 

[Dave is a killer]

Anyone claimed him yet?

We'll know by 12 EST tomorrow or 12 CST tomorrow, I believe.

 

[Enoch]

I think this was more a move about Poile giving him a chance here and then feeling let down by the trade request. I agree, this seems shortsighted, but his play has regressed.
