Confirmed Trade: [ARZ/MIN] Teemu Pulkkinen for future considerations.

[Vitto79]

Well Doan and Vrbara are next

Yotes didn't have to pay the waiver claim fee lol

 

[grewalwings]

Did he not just clear waivers? On a side note, really want the kid to succeed

 

[Petes2424]

He just cant create his own space at the NHL level. Best shot around but matters not without being able to get to those spots. He'll be in Europe by next season.

 

[Paradise*]

There was once hype around him. Career AHLer, unless he decides to go home and play in the SM-Liiga.

 

[BatVader]

Vrbata will be next.
Has Doan asked for a trade yet?

 

[greengoblin]

Wooooooooshhhh

Pretty sure the poster was serious.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Wow. Chayka with another steal!!

Just induct him into the HOF already!

 

[Booba]

It actually costs money to claim a player on waivers so I guess that's why Arizona chose to make a trade rather then claim him "for free".

I'm guessing that if Arizona claimed him when he was on waivers, he would have to clear waivers again for him to play down in Tucson. This way, he goes straight to the AHL.

Honestly, it's a good move by Chayka.

That's not the reason.

Now, they have 10 games or 30 roster days to send him down. Full control.

Tucson are 1 points from a playoffs spot. They acquired 2 players to help them.

 

[Jetabre]

Wow, thought he was still with the Red Wings lol.

 

[Smif]

They probably just forgot to add him in the paperwork in the Hanzal deal.

 

[Ekblad]

Yep stole an AHLer who's been on wavers.

wait wat, he's been a waver???

 

[Ezekial]

GOAT gm

 

[TheSauceBoss]

Career AHL-er who doesn't want to play in the AHL. Good move GMCF.

 

[The Nightman]

Someone needs to stop Chayka, this is getting unfair for the rest of the league! Making the other GMs look like boys out there.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

According to Arizona's boy wonder his advance stats show this he will be a better then average goaltender.

I mean I like AZ and I appreciate the work Chayka is doing, but it's getting just ridiculous with these comments now.

 

[TCNorthstars]

Not at all. That poster is pretty anti Chayka. That post was complete sarcasm.

 

[Thirty One]

Overpayment.

Most of them are sarcasm now.

Your not the only one who thinks this way.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I still think Pulk could carve our a role in the NHL in the right situation. 3rd wheel on a line with two strong players type of thing. No one thus far has seemed willing to give him that chance.

 

[Beerfish]

Moneyball!

 

[redwings25]

hell of a shot, does great in ahl and hates every minute of it. pretty bad nhler
