Didn't forsee him being claimed

[Zirakzigil]

Surprised by this. Wish him all the best.

 

[DJJones]

Not surprised. Guy has a lot of characteristics people are looking for.

Could be interesting if he can get some time on a third line

 

[HighLifeMan]

He has the tools to be an effective bottom sixer, and showed that briefly under Sutter.

The past two years he has been stapled to Rooney who is arguably the worst player in the league, so I can see why SJ might think he find a niche at this level.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Bob Stauffer is happy that Duehr stays in the Pacific and he still gets to say his name multiple times each season.

 

[Boomstick]

Good luck. Always wished he chose #40 so he could be WD-40.
Liked him on the Flames, he was efficient, hope he does well in SJ.

 

[M2Beezy]

I called this

 

[Quinning]

One of my favorite names. His name is a familiar conundrum.

 

[uncleben]

For those interested, this cost San Jose $56,250, paid to Calgary and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 22
Total compensation: $664,875

CF - 40.8%
SF - 42.93%
xGF - 42.55%
SCF - 38.59%
HDCF - 43.9%

SCF - 56.58%
HDCF - 59.38%

Happy trails Walker. Should have been Rooney.

Great wheels, hits stuff, decent wrister. Seems like a good dude. Not a ton there but of his 84 games he was useful in probably half of them. Huska and him didn't click very well I think.

TBF, San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league, so I'm sure he will be also be flanked by bad players in San Jose's bottom 6.

[Bond]

Good for him. He is one of those guys that has to be playing at 110% to be effective and that is hard

 

[Pinkfloyd]

TBF, San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league, so I'm sure he will be also be flanked by bad players in San Jose's bottom 6.

With Sturm going on IR, if he plays, he'll go on the 4th line and it'll be Goodrow-Dellandrea-Duehr so yeah...bad players but we need some bodies to finish the season after we rent out a few forwards at the trade deadline.

Hasn't had much of a chance since then. Lomberg - Rooney linemates have been getting destroyed by everyone recently.

when roster limits are lifted in 5 weeks, Grier flips him to contender as cheap depth F

Not likely. The Sharks need the depth forwards themselves.

 

[Mattb124]

TBF, San Jose is one of the worst teams in the league, so I'm sure he will be also be flanked by bad players in San Jose's bottom 6.

Or he might get top 6 F1 responsibilities a la Kovalenko.

 

[1989]

Walker better become a Swimmer with the Sharks.

Duehr or Duehr not, there is no try.

Roon Dogg getting a contract on the first day of free agency a few years back was puzzling. Roon Dogg getting an extension after playing 50 games for the big club over two season was even more puzzling.

There's effective fourth liners (look at the Lomberghini) that get day-one FA contracts for the stuff they bring to the table... but how Treliving ever looked at this guy and said 'he needs two years, and he needs it today' followed by Conroy being like 'this guy has showed us over the last two years and 50 games that we need more of this' is wild.

Ya never made much sense. We were in a good position to overpay someone a 4C. We coulda paid someone 3M a year to be 4C.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Happy with the freed up roster tbh. Well at least until Hunt is called up.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Congrats to Walker.

If a player claimed on waivers is traded during the season and then the new team waives the player. Who is the “original waiving team” for purposes of re-claiming to automatically send down to the ahl if no other claimers? Calgary still?

 

[algernon]

For those interested, this cost San Jose $56,250, paid to Calgary and not counted against the cap.


Players claimed this season: 22
Total compensation: $664,875

Is the $56k equivalent to the cost of the pucks for the Flames season
