Macoy Erkamps and that guy will lead us to a cup.

Maybe to make Prow an option to call up at some point?

That's the only upside I see.

Plays 10 games they give up a 7th round pick

Injuries would have to hit big time.

JJ and Ruh are ahead of him.

 

[Shrimper]

Nothing more than an AHL trade. Won't play a single minute for Pittsburgh baring injuries. Serious injuries.

Let's play him 9 games then draft the next Zetterberg in the 7th round.

Or play him 10 and Columbus get the next Zetterberg.

I don't know why, but I find it hilarious to evaluate a player by using the word "scoot"

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Did the Pirates' front office knock out JR and take over trades?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Qui?

He can't be any worse then the other former CBJ def we have.

 

[Jacob]

Definitely a prelude to a larger move as all minor deals are.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I’m guessing they think he’s better than what they could draft with that 6-7th rounder.

They'll keep it. He won't play in the NHL. Probably just Columbus wasn't planning on qualifying him anyway so they might as well trade him for a scratch-off.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Strange move. I guess it makes sense to make WBS a little deeper.

Why does CBJ do it? I guess they have given up on him and wanted to free up a contract slot before the deadline. They aren't getting a pick from this deal.

Got to think Prow is already the first call up. Are the Baby Pens lacking dmen depth? He's actually younger than Dane Birks who we signed this summer so there's that.

I always get him confused with that guy who plays for the Caps from like Switzerland. Siegenthaler? Imagine those two on the same pairing. Good luck to the PbP announcers!

It would be worth it to watch Errey struggle.

Not gonna lie, I definitely read that as "shoot" and didn't give it a second thought until reading your post

A powerplay unit consisting of:

Niederreiter - Niedermayer - Timo Meier
Siegenthaler - Siebenaler

From the Pens point of view, sure, why not? He at least sounds like the type of D-men they should be targeting. He's still young enough to put it together and it's not like WBS is busting at the seems with quality defensemen prospects.

Don't understand how it benefits CBJ at all unless a roster spot is needed.
