I apologize @FiveHoleTickler

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Best of luck to the blood of Christ, should have a good chance at earning some minutes there.

 

[gilfaizon]

I'm shocked by this. Have to think this wasn't BMs plan, but poor cap management and some bad luck led to this becoming a necessity.

 

[Gliff]

That's a shame. I liked him more then any of the other young guys fighting for the spot.

Pettersson has officially been traded for nothing. Yay...

 

[Static]

Wonderful. Would have waived larsson all day over him.

 

[rlstine]

Damn. They were first in line too.

 

[gilfaizon]

I wonder if there will be a pivot here to replace the depth. Bob always seems to like his depth.

Yeah that line of trading sure hasn't turned out well for us. Seemed like he had at least salvaged an affordable depth D out of it, who was at least more useful than Sprong. Now we have nothing.

 

[mightyquack]

Not a huge loss, looked ok in a small sample size and that was about it. Good luck to him in Detroit.

 

[cheesymc]

Another case of poor asset management by BM. Petterson for cap space. I hope Djoos shines.

 

[tomd]

Never like to lose a young-ish players on waivers but - barring injuries - Djoos was competing with Larsson and Curran (and perhaps Mahura and Benoit) for the 3rd pairing LD spot. I suspect GMBM preferred the idea of giving more playing time to Curran and Larsson. Djoos would have been in the press box for much of the season. So be it. Hopefully either Larsson or Curran can rise to the occasion.

 

[bsu]

What the f***.

 

[cheesymc]

26 year old who’s dominated the AHL and SHL. Might be the year he breaks out.

I wonder if anyone offered Curran a contract this year and if not... maybe it would have been smarter to have placed him on waivers...

Curran is waiver exempt

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Losing Djoos registers at slightly above "who gives a shit" on the scale.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Do they still have the rule where we would get first dibs if Djoos is placed back on waivers by the Wings?

Hopefully... it could be a Kunitz situation where we can get him back. Not sure... isn’t it like that for Baseball?

They aren't going to waive him lol.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

They aren't going to waive him lol.

I'm not overly concerned about it in this particular case anyway, more just curious if the rule still exists.

At a quick glance right now, looks like he should easily slide in to their bottom pairing, but conservatively speaking he's probably somewhere in the 5-8 range out of the 8 Dmen they have listed on the roster. Though that doesn't include higher upside guys like Seider and Cholowoski who can probably force their way past most their group at any given time.

 

[Dryish]

Yeah, I'm mad. Djoos looked good, and I have liked his game since he showed up for Washington during their playoff run. Wanted to have him around as an actually good 6D.

 

[AngelDuck]

Not an amazing move by Bob. We officially have nothing to show for the Sprong move

Meanwhile Pettersson is going to be a 2nd pair D for a while. Not great

 

[pbgoalie]

For a team that hasn’t looked worth a darn on the pp
It was fun in the short sample to see a guy likeDjoos out there actually creating some chances.

I don’t think this is a killer but it seems to be pretty poor asset management

 

[Dirk316]

The bigger loss was trading Gudbranson was not only solid but filled a defensive enforcer role which Murray as usual has not replaced
Its unbelievable how useless BM is, the BM era will be remembered as mediocre in all aspects of a hockey team. Mediocre rebuild, mediocre team, mediocre toughness, mediocre coaches

6 division titles and 2 conference finals is a bit better than “mediocre”
