Ummmm?

I feel like we had this thread earlier in the year, too. Ouellet isn't very good, why would any team go out of their way to trade for him?

Morrow for Ouellet

That's because the far superior McKenzie broke that news 2 or 3 weeks ago and a thread was posted.

I honestly don't know why people bother with the 31 Thoughts stuff.

oulette is trash. give him a fresh start with a new ahl club.

XO is weird case, always been terrible skater but pretty decent hockey sense. He's by no means a tough guy but what baffled me was reading an article this off-season where in a interview he said he had put on weight and was gonna play a tougher role, definitely hasn't worked out since he looks slower than ever and isn't big enough to play tough or have strong net front presence.

He literarlly serves no role on the team and seems to just be there doing nothing most nights.

Draft maybe. Unless it's dirt cheap with retention, I doubt he's moved. At best, depth move. I just have trouble seeing a contender arranging their blue line around a trade for him.

Does Friedman inform us on where the Ouellet lineup starts? Because apparently Holland forgot to a couple weeks ago.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

Mirco Mueller?

 

[Tatar Shots]

He has taken a step back since last year. He is a pretty vanilla player. Maybe some team with depth issues is interested in having him be the 6/7 guy. Wings are probably better off holding on to him I think. Doubt they would get more than a 4th. Though Holland managed to get a 3rd for Jurco so who knows

 

[Tatar Shots]

whoops double post

 

[Deam78]

He'll end up in Montreal this summer.

 

[nbwingsfan]

One of the most meh players I've ever seen. Never seems to make terrible mistakes but doesn't seem to contribute anything ever. Give us a 5th.

Because... Why the hell not?

they can have him for free. he sucks.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I don't think this is a "trade for assets" type deal. This is Detroit trying to do him a favor in an NHL journeyman for NHL journeyman type trade.

Makes sense, MB likes the Montreal kids.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Pens will trade you Hunwick for him. I really hate his contract

Yup he has no future with the team any ways, Deal him for a bag of pucks Holland.

Happy? Take a hike
