One of the few 1st round misses in the absolutely stacked 2015 draft.

Hope he can turn it around in San Jose, but bummed to see he never became an NHL mainstay so far.

 

[Grinner]

Fill in player for whomever we ship out by the trade deadline

 

[biturbo19]

Nice. He's certainly...a player that can wear a uniform.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

The definition of useless.

 

[SEALBound]

He was cooked last year with the Pens. Replacement level player.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

This guy is bad. He made me miss Dvorak and I hate Dvorak

 

[WarriorofTime]

He was great for USA in the World Juniors in 2017.

I have no update about the last eight years.

Florida ran a true "plug" 4th line in the 2023 playoffs when they made it to the Finals. Which I guess helps explain why they barely made the playoffs since you're going to rely on your depth a lot more over the course of a long season. They got badly exposed by Vegas, who was a true "4 line" team with a lot of depth. White was 4th line center that playoffs for Florida, which I suppose is a bit of a career highlight unless you consider it being spoonfed 2nd line ice time on a god awful Senators team to get some empty calorie stats a few years prior.

Colin White’s career in a nutshell:

First the Rantanen trade, now this!? Truly a day filled with big news.

Jokes aside, I really hope White gets some NHL time. I was a big fan when he was with OTT. He's a replacement level guy and only really fills a sweater. But sometimes you need to fill a sweater. *shrug

Thanks for putting “F” in the title, I did a double take

No chance he turns it around

 

[Bizz]

he seemed to be doing fine at the AHL level. Not that it actually means anything.

He can't be worse than Barclay Goodrow (whose name my autocorrect tried to change to "basically history," which I find incredibly appropriate).

Well, White is vanilla flavored iced cream. But without vanilla. And iced cream. Seriously. Went 0 points in 28 games last year. Cant win faceoffs.

 

[themelkman]

He cant be worse than Kunin, Goodrow or Dellandrea so its positive

 

[Terry Yake]

colin white? the devils d-man from the 2000s?

 

[QuizGuy66]

At the Lemaire Ring of Honor ceremony the other night he looked fit enough to play so this move doesn't surprise me

Being a Jet fan …. I saw him dominate that tourny…. And wanted to draft him with our 2 nd 1 st round pick (Buf @#26) of course the Jets had allready drafted Connor at 17th OA.

Ottawa grabbed him a few picks b4 and Jets ended up drafting Rosslo - vic.

Rozlo ending up being better over all pick.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I think this move is to have a couple bodies for when the team rents out some guys at the deadline.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

Did White not have to pass waivers after signing a NHL deal? I thought if you played in a pro league and then signed the same season you had to, like DeAngelo. Or does AHL not count for that?

I believe the AHL indeed does not count for those purposes.

 

[Salva Mea]

I remember, when i watched draft 2015, in Georgia was like 4-5 am night, and focking Dorion drafted this kid and not Konecny , because he was next Patrice Bergeron. How it ends you know

Ah, interesting. And thank you.

My team (Lightning) is the only NHL team with only three goalies on NHL deals, but Halverson is doing great in the AHL, on an AHL deal. If circumstances ever dictated needing to sign a mid-season goalie I’d be worried he might be waiver snatched. I didn’t realize it was ‘foreign’ pro leagues that that rule only applied to.
