clearing a contract spot for...Colin Miller?

Forgot to include him in the Subban deal

When I saw the move on the Elite Prospects site I thought it was a part of the bigger trade. It happened on the same day so there may be a connection.

Odd to trade away one of the better AHL players we had for nothing especially since he's only 23

I though he might develop into more but looking like an AAAA type of player to use a baseball comparable much like Reid Boucher.

Maybe Nashville ran out of Contract space and needed to move out a player?

 

[BigFatCat999]

Nashville had 43 before the trade so they had room for 7.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

41 contracts right now + Sissons + Grimaldi + at least 1 UFA (Duchene maybe) = 44

Maybe they sign an additional UFA for the big club = 45

Probably a few minor league deals for AHL guys = 48 (although I don't know how they would have done much better than Helewka for that job description)

There doesn't seem to be a ton of urgency on the reserve list for additional signings.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

maybe they just forgot to include him in the Subban trade lmao

maybe they just forgot to include him in the Subban trade lmao

so it was really Adam Helewka for Past Considerations

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Maybe they just don't want to block icetime for their prospects. For a change, Milwaukee might have more actual prospects than minor league pros... if they want to get playing time for all of Tolvanen, Wilkins, Trenin, Craggs, Pitlick, Magwood, and Richard... maybe it makes sense to drop a more veteran body or two...

The only logical thing I can really think of. They assume as others have mentioned that he is a career tweener, so they want the ice time to be given to more of the unknowns who still have the question mark of upside.

I mean, Helewka is only 23 and even with a new draft it's not like we're swimming in prospects right now. This is still a baffling, stupid move.
