Breaking up the brothers duo for future considerations?

 

[Jacob]

Okay.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Everyone will remember this day

 

[Turin]

Probably for free.

 

[StIvany4Norris]

Nice, actual upgrade on LD with Pettersson hurt

Never should’ve let him go

 

[PeoriaBlues309]

I don’t hate that he’s getting traded, but I feel like they should’ve done it after the Winter Classic. Would’ve been a cool family moment with him and his brother, but this business can be cruel.

Was there a crunch roster wise for the blues?

Was there a crunch roster wise for the blues?

Blues previously acquired Cam Fowler and sent Matthew Kessel to the AHL, P.O. Joseph was the odd man out.

I would expect Kessel to be recalled.

heartbreaking to split the Joseph brothers up just before christmas

 

[SI90]

Damn. Joseph brothers were so happy.

Not unless Leddy is coming back, or there’s another move coming.

It’s a business but this is actually a good point. Have to imagine thier parents had the flights ready to go to spend the holidays with them in St. Louis. Unless they’re on a road trip.

Pens could use a LD to replace Pettersson.

 

[Ryder71]

Must mean Petts is soon on his way out.

POJ is not a replacement for MP in any way, shape or form.

 

[Ryder71]

POJ is not a replacement for MP in any way, shape or form.

Sure he is, I mean, not a good replacement, but he's a good puck mover.

 

[Ulf5]

Sure he is, I mean, not a good replacement, but he's a good puck mover.

He's barely a bottom pair and MP isn't getting dealt being out week-to-week. Especially with a roster freeze about to drop.

 

[PocketNines]

PO Joseph is not an NHL caliber player. He is terrible. Goodbye. Can we send Mathieu back too? These brothers are awful.

I assume this is for future considerations, as he is that bad

 

[Stealth JD]

Maybe Army could do Dubas another solid and trade Mathieu Joseph to Pittsburgh too for future future considerations.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I thought he would be more than he is but he really has nothing above average other than decent reach. Not strong, not aggressive , not a super skater. not brilliant.

 

[Ryder71]

He's barely a bottom pair and MP isn't getting dealt being out week-to-week. Especially with a roster freeze about to drop.

MP could be moved at any time, maybe this week, maybe early JAN, but according to Dubas yesterday he's not expected to miss much time.

 

[Michael Farkas]

It's tough to be worse than how Ryan Shea has played this year...but I guess P.U. Joseph will give him a run for his money unless he learned to do anything but skate well...

 

[Khelandros]

St. Louis stocking up on those futures again. They are brewing something big.
