Idk if he's actually an upgrade over Tucker. If I'm being honest

I can't say I've seen him play much recently but I was wondering the same thing, they way he's bounced around not sure if he would actually be an upgrade on what we have already. But he is still youngish, making league minimum, what can it hurt to put in a claim if they like him, if he sucks back to waivers he goes, oh well

Let's be honest, Broberg has been kinda so-so lately as well. 5 points in 25 games since his injury. Sucks that he had to get hurt when he had such a hot start.

I agree his play was down for a little while after coming back from the injury. Lately though I've been very happy with his play. The early season pace was never sustainable. His 5v5 scoring rate is good for a defenseman. Can't expect a lot of production without PP time.

I doubt they would do Tucker dirty like that since he's been playing well lately, but having more RHD options isn't a bad thing.

I agree. The hot start was exactly that; hot. He’s still doing well. This is his first real NHL season. I have a deep well of patience for Broberg.

Not to mention that Tucker himself would have to clear waivers if he was the roster casualty. He’s been on the active roster more than 30 days since his recall right before Christmas.

Yeah, they wouldn't do that either. If Leddy is coming back, then we don't really have the space to add a d-man.

Though it is a shame we'll never get to see a Bro-Bo pairing.

Adam Boqvist on waivers. Here's a guy I wouldn't mind claiming. Right age, upgrade over Tucker at 3RD, righthand shot, cheap contract. Gives Army another chance to brag about the number of 1st round picks we have in our roster.

I thought Tucker has been pretty good since his recall.

If they want another RHD they could just call Kessel back up. Really no point in claiming a worthless player on waivers.

I’m not convinced Kessel will ever be good, but I’m sure he will get another shot at some point. He appears to be playing well in the AHL since getting sent down, or at least playing more aggressive offensively. 11 points in 17 games, by far the highest rate of production he’s had in pro hockey.

Something may have clicked for Tucker, who looks solid. Maybe it will happen for Kessel too.
