Wanted him from a flames POV. Still think he has the potebtial to be a good third liner

 

[Kamiccolo]

Quick, tell me how I should feel about this so I can pretend I'm knowledgeable and argue with other fans.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I hope things work out for him. He still has potential but injuries really stalled his development. I think he needs more AHL time personally, but maybe he'll get a better shot to show what he can do in New Jersey.

 

[Empoleon8771]

He's now the 13th 1st round pick from the 2011 draft that has been moved at least once. That seems high, no?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Wish him the best. Sucks when it is injuries robbing a guy rather than effort or talent concerns. Good that he got claimed, obviously someone has seen something. As long as he keeps working he'll eventually get there. Injuries have delayed him but as long as he keeps getting playing time somewhere he'll eventually get back on track.

This is his second move is it not? Drafted by Ottawa and moved to Anaheim first and now this waiver.

 

[swiftwin]

Does this mean the Sens are winning the Bobby Ryan trade again?

Does this mean the Sens are winning the Bobby Ryan trade again?

Well the Sens certainly lost the 2011 draft by taking Noesen and Puempel in the first round.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I think he could work out pretty well for the devils

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

A quick look at his advanced stats makes me really like this move.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah I forgot about that, the draft was already at 13 moved before this.

 

[Arthuros]

We hardly knew ya.

That being said, he turned out to be the least important part of the Ryan trade.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

A quick look at his advanced stats makes me really like this move.

I don't think there was anywhere for him in our line up and seems kinda wasteful playing him on bottom line... I think he could be a great pick up for the devils... I like him a lot as a player sucks he had so much trouble with injuries

 

[clownshoes]

Crap....


He's still young enough to find his game. He has talent. He could be a solid 10-15 goal 3rd liner.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Neat.

 

[McDonald19]

Good luck to him.

Ducks will be ready to re-claim him for San Diego if he doesn't work out in Jersey.

Yes, was a part of the Ryan deal. Silfverberg + Noesen + 1st (Ritchie)

Bummed about seeing him claimed, but I expected it. Too many teams can use depth, and a fairly recent 1st rounder is enticing for free.

As far as Noesen goes:

Injuries have killed his development. He disappointed recently though. Wasn't bad in his brief NHL time. He's not near as quick of a skater as I expected he'd be. Maybe that's the injury, or maybe he just was never as quick as I thought he was.

Anyway, good pickup for NJ. May be nothing more than an AHL 1st liner, but it's for free, and they've had success with similar players of ours the last few years, so I don't blame them at all.

I am bummed that he was claimed. Honestly I didn't expect us to keep him beyond this year, and I don't think he'll ever be more than a 4th liner at this level. However, it's a fairly significant loss for our farm team. I wish nothing but the best for Noesen. Guy has had to work through some very serious injuries.

Does this mean the Sens are winning the Bobby Ryan trade again?

Don't want to derail this thread so I'll just say this:

I consider that trade a win for us. Honestly I'd take Silfverberg over Ryan straight up now. Silfverberg has been phenomenal this year. Been great defensively from the beginning, but has a lot more offensive confidence this year, and it's been a saving grace with Perry sucking. Having Ritchie, who's a very good young player, is just icing on the cake.

That said, I'm not saying we won and Ottawa lost. It's a win for us in that Silfverberg + Ritchie is better than having Ryan. If Ottawa is happy with Ryan over those two, then that's great. Absolutely nothing wrong with win-win trades.

Think youngerNieto from the Sharks. Maybe not as good but he was a fairly serviceable bottom 6 player. Just run out of room sometimes on rosters. Not a big point getter.

Bummer for Ducks, good for NJD. Not make or break for either.

 

[MichaelJ]

Could be a solid bottom6 pickup. Needs to stay healthy.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Does this mean the Sens are winning the Bobby Ryan trade again?

Silfverberg > Ryan, and Ducks got Nick Ritchie out of it so, no. Definitely not.

 

[Brock Radunske]

He's now the 13th 1st round pick from the 2011 draft that has been moved at least once. That seems high, no?

Wow. Almost half the round.

 

[Paranoid Android]

He was the pick traded to Ottawa from the Mike Fisher trade

 

[Ismellofhockey]

If Ottawa is happy with Ryan over those two, then that's great.

You're not going to get a lot of pushback from Ottawa fans about Silfverberg+Ritchie being better than Ryan. Ryan started off really well for Ottawa, but he's been fading ever since.

I understand why the Sens made the trade, and the sense it made at the time, but it hasn't turned out as well as expected from the Sens' pov.
