Confirmed with Link: CBJ Claim Jack Skille on Waivers

[1857 Howitzer]

Welcome back. I always thought he should have gotten a little more ice time last season.

 

[DJA]

Haha, I was wrong. I'm cool with it though.

I'm guessing they're expecting to lose Gibbons or D'Amigo on waivers tomorrow.

We have enough guys on IR, do we really have to send those guys down?

thoughts on a Foligno-Letestu-Skille line?

 

[Cowumbus]

With skile what do you expect the lines to be

Someone needs to go down and I think Wennberg and Dano are making the team.

we still ahve to cut 3 players after St Denis today...so yeah, its either send the kids down, or send down players like D'Amigo and Gibbons

thoughts on a Foligno-Letestu-Skille line?

#CBJ Skille: "I know that room. I know the guys in there. They want to win. They want to change the environment and do something special."

#CBJ Skille: "I left things on such a high note with Columbus, and I was actually really bummed that we couldn’t figure something out."

Jack Skille: "I learned a lot about my game (in Columbus) & what it takes to stay in this league. I'm excited to write a new chapter here."

Skille said when the #Isles placed him on waivers yesterday, he was hoping "things would turn out this way" & he'd return to #CBJ.

Ah, you're right. By my count we have 16 forwards, and two must be cut. Probably Rychel and one of D'Amigo/Gibbons.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I'm glad that he seems glad to be back. That's the biggest thing about having him in our organization to me.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Don't think we'll waive Golo though, so probably gonna roll with 13F and 8D unless they trade a defenseman pretty soon?

Murray's on IR, so Golo is currently #7.

Right. Forgot about that.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Like.

Skille not only provides needed depth but of a different sort than the other existing depth.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Welcome back, Jack! Good depth player.

 

[Tom13Falcons]

This orginization has too much mediocre depth. This acquisition only adds to it.

 

[cbj21]

Nice, welcome back Skille!

 

[islesfan3913]

Islander fan here. Just wanted to say Skille was really impressive in camp. I wasn't expecting much but he actually has a nice shot and skates well. I wish we would have kept him over Colin McDonald as our 13th forward but I guess management didn't want to get rid of Tavares' friend. He could defiantly be a solid 4th line player and play a key role for a lot of teams.

 

[Boomshakalaka]

I am glad to see skille back. Has some snipe the team needs and plays a tough game. Hopefully he stays healthy. I ll take him over boll or Tropp. Glad to see a guy excited to play here.

 

[LoveCBJ]

Glad Skille is back. I, too, thought he should have played more last year. Don't be afraid to shoot this time around!

What do you think "depth" is? If the guys were superstars they would be referred to as superstars, not "depth" players.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

I did not believe this would happen. I figured if they let him walk they were no longer interested.
