[Jean Ralphio]

I feel like I know most players in the NHL, but I'll be honest, I had never heard of this guy until yesterday.

Uh who?

 

[Kolja]

Who?

 

[Faelko]

Yamamoto probably gets sent back down?

 

[DaGap]

Who?

 

[SourOil]

Moving out a centre?

Or is this guy AHL fodder?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Bold moves!

 

[Faelko]

So just flinging more shit at the wall?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Colby Cave sounds like a spot at a MLB ball park players try to hit dingers into, like McCovey's Cove in San Fran.

 

[Llamamoto]

Solid numbers in the AHL, 5 points in 20 games in the NHL. Undrafted. Probably useless.

 

[Faelko]

Bold moves!

If this is our “big move” incoming I’m happy...haha

 

[subnet]

Who?

Who?

Verbatim on what I said out loud...

 

[joestevens29]

Sounds like a younger Brodziak

November 2018 – Cave was called up to Boston to aid the team’s forward depth in the wake of Patrice Bergeron’s injury (November 20). After impressing in what has been a breakout season in the AHL, Cave earned a promotion to the big club. While his stay may only be for the length of Bergeron’s injury, it will offer the 23-year-old the an extended opportunity to prove that he has NHL potential. His best opportunity to make such a statement will be to utilize the fundamental elements in his game, including his physicality and strong forechecking ability, as significant ice time will likely be hard to come by

The scouts must really be out in full force given that they've apparently heard of this guy.

 

[SourOil]

How many contracts are we sitting at now?

 

[joestevens29]

At the conclusion of his final junior season, placing second on the club in points with 75 in 72 games, Cave was signed as an undrafted free agent to a three-year, entry level contract by the Boston Bruins on April 4, 2015

Despite agreeing to an extension with the Bruins in August 2013,[3] Chiarelli was fired by the team on April 15, 2015.[4] On April 24, 2015, the Edmonton Oilers announced Chiarelli's hiring as general manager and president of hockey operations.[5]

Damn near PC's last move in Boston?

Leaving no stone unturned, apparently.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Leaving no stone unturned, apparently.

Why trade for a Stone when you can have the whole Cave?

 

[nturn06]

Leaving no stone unturned, apparently.

...and no Cave unexplored.

 

[Llamamoto]

Why trade for a Stone when you can have the whole Cave?

ha.

 

[CupofOil]

Better to add cave than to cave in another trade.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Why trade for a Stone when you can have the whole Cave?

You should sell real estate!

 

[Bum]

Chiarelli probably signed Cave because he thought it was an actual cave that he could hide in.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Solid numbers in the AHL, 5 points in 20 games in the NHL. Undrafted. Probably useless.

Solid AHL numbers? Until this AHL season he was pretty useless. This is probably the most pointless claim we have ever made.

Depth issues resolved.
