Farewell Gustav, thanks for your (checks stats) 3 goals & 1 assist in 14 games. You will always be the pride of Ostervala.

Would have prefer a pick too, I'm sure they tried but to get a pick, they needed him to play, he hasn't play since Dec 9th....and to give him ice time, one kid in development needed to sit which is kind of counter productive, especially with the ton of kids pushing and demanding ice-time.

Luneau is still out with an infection/injury, Lacombe they'll probably send back to the AHL as he needs more time, and there's a rumor that Mintyukov might miss a couple of games.
Anaheim still has great prospects on defense, but circumstances mean that they needed a warm body to fill-in on the right side for a while.
Lindstrom just happened to fit their needs and cost nothing to acquire except falling back on the waiver wire list. It was a logical move, and no-brainer for them all things considered.

You say that sarcastically, but when you look at our forwards goal numbers, it's really not funny.
I'd rather we just get rid of our trashcan coach, but I don't see that happening until the rebuild is over and he botches that horribly.

Anaheims d are simply overrated. Four of their can't miss top pairing d can't crack their near worst in the league roster.
Helleson in particular doesn't look like he's going to be an NHLer anymore.
Luneau is injured but still good.
Zellweger is still a good prospect.
Hinds doesn't look to be anything special.
Outside of that warren was an awful pick. Lacombe is a filler. Thrun didn't sign with them.
Of all their d picks only Mintyukov is panning out to be a potential top pairing guy. I think they need a good young dman more than their fans think. Even Harris is outperforming every young d in their organization except Minty. I would not be surprised to see them take a top d in the draft.
Xhekaj is outperforming every one of their AHL d in pace, minutes and impact and is fairly low on our depth chart at this point. Even outside of the pro ranks Hutson, Konyushkov and Engstrom are outperforming every one of their unsigned guys.

It probably isn't a big lost and probably that they wanted him to get pick but we could have used him in Laval...

I didn't know he was from Saskatchewan.
Why, Jenn Botterill is from Sasquatchewan, a hunting area from the northernmost reaches of the province.
I understand that’s also where @sampollock orders oversized, wide soled shoes for his Leaf fan friends.

Struble the King Evictor, confirmed.
He not only causes Lidstrom to get jettisoned, but also manages to force management’s hand, by inciting them to keep Arber in the AHL (not completely by himself but Struble is a significant contributory factor).

Even next year... Kovacevic ain't bad, but he ain't it. Barron is still a wild guess any time he needs to play in his side of the red line... Reinbacher most likely needs AHL time. Mailloux's not ready.
I could be tempted to resign him for another year or two if he's not asking for too much money. We need a veteran that can kill penalties and be stable, either him or another guy.
His potential on a good team is #7 at best for sure. #8 ideally.
