Confirmed with Link: PTO for Pierre-Edouard Bellemare

Surprising but the correct move. The skating just isn't there to justify the intangibles. All the best as he seems like a great guy.

This sounds like a euphemism for euthanasia

 

[RECKLESS]

Love the guy but it's the right move.

He was only gonna get slower and slower as the season grinds on.

So which 4C types are going to be available on waivers the next few days? Alexandrov and Groulx might have been interesting but they already passed through

Was almost certain they would keep him around, but this is the right call. Dude has nothing left in the tank.

 

[ABasin]

I don't see how that has been proven wrong yet.

It’s likely correct.

But it then begs the question, why do all of these grizzled vets need *more* veteran presence in the locker room?

They don’t.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I would argue it is not veteran presence that is lacking but rather emotional maturity and IQ.
