Huh.
Well, best of luck to him. He's really drawn the short straw this year (and last) through no real fault of his own. I'm not sure how it'll work out in Chicago, but he can be a tough SOB and a competent third-pairing guy when he's on his game.

This is probably a Rockford move. Their defense has been destroyed by both callups and injuries.

They'll have to pass him through again, no?

Seeler can play in this league. He won't ever be anything more than a third pairing guy, but he can play if the Hawks have depth issues.
Carson Soucy kind of just came out of nowhere this year, claimed his position in training camp and never gave it back.
I wouldn't be surprised if a number of teams placed claims on him. I'd be shocked if Winnipeg didn't place a claim, he's certainly better then Bitetto who's playing every night there.
Bruce seemed like he was half-expecting it after his comments on trying to send him down.
Yeah, and may have been hoping for it. Soucy's basically given him no choice, but it can't be fun to be the guy scratching him every night either.
A little surprised no one was up to kick a late pick over for him, but such is the state of the bottom-pairing defensemen market.
No one has the cap space is probably a big reason. He seems like a guy playoff teams would be looking at as a 6/7 for pending playoff wars but since half the league is out of cap room and most of those teams are in those playoff seeds right now... *shrug*

For those interested, this cost Chicago $56,250, paid to Minnesota and not counted against the cap.

If I read the schedule right Chicago plays in Minnesota tomorrow night. Awkward.
At least Seeler doesn't have far to go to meet his new team.

I want to know what concession stand worker makes almost 27 dollars an hour?
