Waived: NSH Waives Mike Ribeiro - Clears

[RememberTheRoar]

If you knew about the Blues, my comment would have made you laugh. No matter.

Ahh, so the "outright suck" thing was supposed to be a joke? Apologies for not picking up on that.

I'm not really sure where you are trying to get at man, Preds aren't a bad team.

 

[King Weber]

Nashville making $ room for Duchene?

more like making room for Josi who could return any day now. Need a roster spot to activate him from IR.

 

[TT1]

Good player, not so good person. Very disruptive personality. Funny I remember a lot of his fans back in the Montreal days claiming he just had a bit of maturing to do. Unfortunately, some guys are just *****.

Whenever i brought this up Nashville fans would get mad at me

 

[CorgisPer60]

Likely this. He produces offense, but is appalling defensively and clearly has attitude issues.

I'd say his issues go far beyond merely being attitude.

 

[Armourboy]

As far as we know attitude hasn't really been an issue until he got bench and requested the trade. The problem with him is effort level, defensive liability, being horrible at face offs and being unwilling to shoot.

He pretty much makes that one pass every night that just shocks you, but then he will make 5 others that makes you want to stab him. We haven't missed him tbh.

 

[PredsV82]

You wish to tell me that this team is better this year than in previous years? Because that's what I meant. Whether they are in a better or worse position than the Blues is beyond the point; I was talking about the current state of the Preds.

I was going to explain why the Preds don't "outright suck" but since you're the one that made the ridiculously hyperbolic statement maybe you should be the one to explain with some facts why you believe that or else just admit you are simply talking out your 5 hole

ill just throw some facts out. Same points per game as last year and went the furthest into the playoffs we ever have. More goals then at this same pointlast year. Much improved goaltending. All while our team has undergone a much larger rash of injuries to critical team members then normal.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

Whoa! Who picks him up?

I don't know who picks him up, but I do know they shouldn't let him drive.

You don't think poor effort is related to poor attitude?

Do we know today at noon EST or does it go until Monday because of the weekend?

We'll know today.

 

[Sheriff Bert]

I'm thinking that he goes down, then gets traded with retained salary. It's possible to do that if a guy is in the minors, right?

Yep they can retain still a contract . Who else cleared waivers . Purcell ? Reject for reject

 

[PredsV82]

i don't think there is any way he reports to Milwaukee

 

[ottawa]

Ribeiro*

We had Shaw and Weber for their dressing room magic

Desharnais is bad and Ribeiro is a better player simple as that.

Not a chance this happens, ribeiro is a locker room cancer. The debate begins and ends there.

 

[Freudian]

Might be what Preds are hoping.

 

[Dustin]

Agreed...big RHD, i'd grab him.

I'm down. Especially seeing how they have been without Rielly. Having some more D depth would be beneficial.

 

[SAADfather]

 

[Altimus]

I guess he is gonna cost Nashville taking a player back to get him moved. Huh.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Nash was hoping he clears so he can be traded for something

 

[cyris]

Not surprised he cleared. Talented player but a horrible human being.
And at this point his talent has faded enough that it isn't enough to make GMs ignore his issues.

I honestly think his contract was the biggest deterrent.

 

[King Weber]

well if he wants to get paid, he better report or he'll get suspended and lose his salary like Gregory Campbell earlier this season.

Was he actually sent down?

I imagined they just waived him in case anyone wanted him for free, but they were gonna keep him on main roster if he cleared.
I mean, he has 25 points this year. He's not playing bad by that metric. May as well keep him around and try to showcase him for the TDL.
