Thought this guy was definitely out the door

 

[Kranix]

Haha nice of Lou

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Still interesting to me but given our cap situation I think it's best he's in our org now given the circumstances. Might get some NHL time this year.

Why do they keep messing with this kid. Just let him have a chance somewhere else

 

[xECK29x]

He's going to be added as a sweetener to a cap dump, he basically held out for more AHL money, I don't get it.

 

[beowulf]

Surprising given the history, guess they figure they can still find a trade partner.

I'm honestly rooting for the kid, because the talent is there, but what kind of sweetener is he going to be? He was put on waivers last year and no one wanted him for free and that was before all this flat cap stuff which is resulting in pretty decent established nhl'ers taking big discounts or remaining unsigned for weeks after the start of free agency.

2 way? Oof

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I bet he's waived...again

In a normal year, he almost certainly was.

But with a flat cap, cap issues and a need for cheap talent, plans can change.

 

[Gurglesons]

When will this player get a chance with a different organization lol.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

He's tailor-made for Trotz' system that favors defensive accountability

 

[themelkman]

Why dont they just let him go already. I hate when teams do this

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

To think what a talent like his could achieve if he took accountability for his career instead of blaming everyone else for everything.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Isles used a 1st on this kid.

For this reason and this reason alone, I would like to see him finally get his head out of his butt and make something of himself.

I have my doubts though...

 

[CupHolders]

Why do they keep messing with this kid. Just let him have a chance somewhere else

Through waivers, they gave him a chance with every single NHL organization last year.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Sort of makes me wonder if Ho-Sang has connections in the organization. Why else are they continuing to hand this kid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year? Do they honestly still have hope that he's all of a sudden going to turn a corner and become a responsible consummate professional?

Asset management. Not to imply the isles have done a good job of asset management with Josh thus far, but hey, we used a 1st rounder on the dude, we have his rights... might as well keep him close. Better he figure things out for us than to lose him for nothing and see him succeed elsewhere.

I guess, but after you waive and he passes, I think its okay to let him try it again somewhere he fits better.

 

[lawrence]

wait what? sounds like Josh Ho sang lost his case for a bigger contract, lol.

 

[Mick Jagr]

This guy is 100% not an NHLer. Why waste your time?

 

[wavaxa2]

wait what? sounds like Josh Ho sang lost his case for a bigger contract, lol.

Yes, and no. He accepted a lesser NHL salary to guarantee himself a greater AHL salary.

 

[TheRedressor]

Nice bump for the kid going from 70k to 225k.

 

[Carltons Cup]

What a Ho
