I’m a bit surprised to be honest. Clearly there must not have been a market for him. Wonder who’s coming up instead.

I'm surprised Columbus wouldn't even take a flier on him.

Hopefully a veteran. I don't want to have any of the kids up here while they bag skate the team cause the vets aren't playing hard.

Krug, Saad, Faulk...some real winners from this era.

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Got to play….not sure why he fell off a cliff this year

You just made Robert Thomas look to the heavens in frustration

 

[BlueOil]

makes sense, but he's still 9th on the team in scoring, so there's an obvious sign we suck if anyone's still unsure

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Wonder if a less ideal team picks him up from waivers

 

[PocketNines]

He has spent the year expecting to get traded to another team and providing AHL caliber play.

Thanks for the 2022 playoffs I guess.

Goodbye to the Pittsburgh native. That's a real hard rim John Kelly

moving saad out to make room for texier? yeah, that'll help

Texier can't do any worse than Saad, who has played a lot in the top 6 and only scored goals in 4 games this year.

 

[TheOrganist]

No shit....a far cry from this summer when some thought he'd return a first rounder at the deadline.

 

[PocketNines]

We are in the Make Room for Texier Era, not a rebuild

i bet that's not true, texier is just french paajarvi

i bet that's not true, texier is just french paajarvi

so we can count on him for a series winning goal against the Wild someday?

 

[SirPaste]

Texier wishes he could skate like Paajarvi

3 games, but ya.

 

[LGB]

We're a mess right now. Honestly thought Saad played really well a few days ago against Dallas.

Based on the wording here it would seem like Army feels like the coaching staff wouldn’t play Texier if given more options

Seemed like he also didn't want to disrupt Springfields season by taking a vet from there, and didn't want to call up one of the kids to put them in a less than ideal situation.

He was laughing when he said that above and also said let me make sure I don't word this the wrong way.

Seems like a wake up call/shot across the bow to the rest of the team.

Was really hoping Saad would go on a run, score some goals, and get us a 2nd at full retention…too bad.

Saad, while not innocent, is paying in part for the sins of others. That includes Army. Not having another viable C option is causing issues up and down the lineup. I don't know how anyone is expected to score with how much we jumble the lines and how often wings get put on lines with a C that should be the one being waived, or is struggling or is not playing their natural position
