Tyutin injury must be serious.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Seen a couple tweets about this trade, but nothing from someone I trust.

Beat me to it.

Strickland's legit.

I'm okay with this move, even if Leopold isn't what he once was. If we fall out of the playoff picture, we can probably get something back for him.

I however, don't like what this implies about Murray/Tyutin.

Waste of a 5th round pick.

He can't possibly hurt how we've been on D for most of the season. Little risk for low price

“@smitchcd: #CBJ Fedor Tyutin will be placed on injured reserve with left knee sprain. Timetable TBA.”

“@smitchcd: Tyutin expected to miss 4-6 weeks. #CBJ”

Waste of a 5th round pick.

Is that even possible?

I've seen that it's a 2016 pick. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, next years.

Waste of a 5th round pick.

Oh, the horror! what will we ever do without next years 5th round pick? It's not like our D corps are decimated with injuries right? I think Freddy St. Denis, Austin Madaisky, and Will Weber are great!

Waiting for the obligatory posts.

It's not Shea Weber. Damnit Jarmo.

Or "when I kvetched about the FO not doing anything, I didn't mean do something like THIS!"

Yes. I would MUCH rather have a 5th round pick than Leopold.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yes. I would MUCH rather have a 5th round pick than Leopold.

Well, would you rather have Freddy St. Denis or Leopold?

 

[LoveCBJ]

A defenseman with experience and we didn't give up much. Hard to do these days. Go Jackets!

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Yes. I would MUCH rather have a 5th round pick than Leopold.

You guys can feel free to stop by the Jarmo thread any time.

 

[Halfboard]

Meh......he's a body. Rimer will describe him as the second coming of Bobby Orr, however.

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

Good veteran / depth pickup. Necessary move and cost the CBJ little to nothing.

 

[DJA]

Yes. I would MUCH rather have a 5th round pick than Leopold.

If you had your way, we wouldn't even ice an NHL team. It would be those strips of paper from the draft board sitting on the bench.

 

[EDM]

Seems to be a good move under the circumstances.
