That press release is worded terribly.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Figured we would see something like this. Solid add.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

That’s the help we desperately needed. Good job Pierre’s

He is beyond awful

 

[Pavelski2112]

Gambrell is a warm body, that's about it. He took a small step forward last year but ultimately provides nothing special. Could have worse players as your #13/14F

Saying that now, he'll probably become a top-6 C in Ottawa

 

[MMC]

Am I missing something or what made San Jose feel the need to give him up for so little? I know he's not great and has cleared waivers but I would think at the very least he'd hold more value to them as a call-up.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

He is beyond awful

I expect next to nothing from Gambrell, but we have had 3 injuries at C to start the year and we simply have no internal options right now. He will fill a role and probably be waived before too long or, at best, be a one-and-done. But he can play and thats all we need right now.

The AHL team is cluttered right now. Many call up options before Gambrell ultimately and he needed a change of scenery after being sent down this year

Hes not worth calling up, atleast not at this point. Only provides minor defensive impact which we already get tons of. Id rather call up 2020 7th rounder Adam Raska who looked like he could contribute at the NHL level in training camp.

The Sharks have plenty of depth/rookie forwards they can call up that have the potential to provide more than what Gambrell does. No space for him and he's never taken the leap to be a legit full-time NHLer that the org saw him as becoming.

That's fair

 

[WSS11]

Didn’t he recently clear waivers? Glad we got a pick out of it

 

[Breakers]

Always thought he was the passenger at Denver with Troy Terry and Henrik Borgstrom

ottawa has had exposure to the NCHC for awhile so I could see them liking him.

 

[Anomie2029]

Considering I was surprised that he wasn't claimed by Ottawa when he was put on waivers, getting a 7th for him is a win.

 

[sfvega]

Gambrell is a vampire most known for his entrance through the floor in a ring of fire. Not a bad add for a 7th.

 

[HSF]

Can Ottawa send him down without waivers now ? Maybe some ahl help

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

He's coming to Ottawa, says in the press release and we only have two legit NHL options at C (not that Gambrell changes that)

 

[M2Beezy]

Easy to see this one coming. Called it last week

I can see the Sharks trading Gambrell to the Sens for a 6th, but probably a 7th round pick. Just makes sense if ya think about it

Gambrell cleared waivers October 10th and was sent to the AHL Barracuda after he lost his job to Jasper Weatherby and Lane Peterson.

The injuries to White, Pinto, Watson and Bishop in Ottawa was too much to overcome on the injury front, the Sens don’t really have any other forwards that are NHL ready, Parker Kelly got an opportunity but did not impress and was sent back down.

Bishop, too, who was decent for us in a 4th line role for about 20 games last year.

Kelly was decent, btw, had a few very good games and a few not so good ones. He is good enough to be an extra on our team but they probably dont want him up here unless he's playing every game. Also isnt a C.

Doesn't a waiver cost money? Melnyk probably was willing to part with the 7th to save a few bucks ......

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

A warm body to fill the gaping hole at center after the Pinto and White injuries.

Not much to complain about.

 

[seroes]

Surprised we got anything for him. I'll take it.

 

[OmniSens]

He is beyond awful

Everybody says this about their players after being traded.

Solid trade for Ottawa.
