Confirmed Trade: [ANA/CBJ] Devin Shore for Sonny Milano

[McDonald19]

This is a good synopsis - dazzle and baffle - of Milano. He can make plays that few other Jackets could make, has good vision and can be a good assist guy on a team with players who can finish.

Unfortunately the Ducks don’t have finishers.

 

[Leonardo87]

Seems both players needed change of scenery. I really hope both players work out for both clubs and find success. Good luck to you guys in Columbus.

 

[koteka]

Milano gets knocked down a lot.

 

[Mickey the mouse]

Milano is a perfect fit for the new season of "The Housewives of Orange County"

 

[Duck Off]

Shore isn’t a bad player, he’s very meh, but he’s an NHLer. We weren’t going to qualify him so we take a chance on a boom or bust prospect. I like it for Anaheim.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Traded away a frequent healthy scratch and received a new 1st line winger

 

[Kranix]

Milano wasn't a Torts type player

 

[Byrddog]

He was high potential but very raw. Just never developed into the player he could have been.

Yeah at 23 hes not a 70 point guy. The Jackets need to quit throwing young guys out there that have not been developed and expect them to be PPG guys. He has skill but needed more time in lower level. Is it too late for him to bloom maybe. I like to watch the guy though.

Holy hell, hon. 2008 called; they want their criticism of the Jackets back.

Thanks Columbus

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Thanks Anaheim

Not going to address the first part since Viqsi already dragged you on that one, but the second part is also inaccurate.

He spent 1 full year in the OHL before turning pro. If you're going to debate that he should have stayed in Boston College rather than the OHL, then that's a fair criticism, but this was the players choice not the CBJ.

He spent parts of 5 straight seasons in the AHL, including nearly 2 straight seasons in the minors where he didn't even get more than a cup of coffee in the NHL. He was no longer eligible to go to the minors without waivers this year. He's spent 163 games in the minors. How much more time did he need?

 

[MMC]

2 goals for Milano today, including the OT winner.

 

[Leonardo87]

Thank you Columbus!

Thank you Columbus!

Yeah you are right, was a little tasteless. I apologize. Just don’t see too many OT goals for Anaheim.

I didnt see it that way, but I get it. I hope this trade works out for both teams. It's way too early to be able to tell, but so far Milano looks like he's enjoying the fresh start and taking full advantage.

I sincerely hope Shore does the same for the Jackets.

I certainly don't mean it that way, hope you guys are just as happy with the trade as we are

I hope Shore is good for you guys also, like I said on the other page hope both players work out for both clubs. Ducks needed a guy like Milano but its only been one game. But so far like what I see.

I mean its all fair. I don't really take offense to it, but it does annoy me especially since there really isn't any history between our teams on the ice, in trades, or on HFBoards (that I'm aware of at least) that would call for that.

I'm perfectly fine with being excited about Milano. Hell, I'm excited for you guys and him. I liked that player a lot.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Thank you Columbus !

So yes, in your case?

 

[bsu]

I still don't understand how or why this trade happened

 

[IDuck]

just know as a CBJ fan, that ducks fans have been starved for a player like milano, i know most CBJ fans would raise eyebrow's over that, but its true....i hope no ducks fan tries to scoreboard this trade (especially with how the kase deal could turn out) but its was nice for us to see that for the 1st time in a looooong time, even if it was only 1 game

We had to even up the wild bill trade with you guys a few years back.
