Pushing off that disappointment until the last possible minute? Still feel bad for Chromiak, losing 2 weeks while he was playing well during his draft year sucks.

I also just hope for his sake that the two weeks don't result in him being released and go through the waiver process, because the Wolves could have in theory released him on day 1 and just go through that process without losing the 2 weeks of playing time.

I know that probably sounds confusing but in my little melon head it makes sense:laugh:

It is what it is. Yes you'd like the player not to sit but at the end of the day it's the business of sports. He will be playing somewhere very soon and getting good minute's. He'll be fine.

No, actually it is BS. Get the f'n deal done and allow the kid to move on. The business return is no where near important enough to take 2+ weeks... not a good look for the organization.

Yeah, definitely feels like this could come back to bite them in future recruitment of European players.

These deals don't just happen with a snap of the fingers. It was pretty sudden that Dvorsky was sent, so there wouldn't have been any conversations about it ahead of time. The two import per roster limit also complicates matters, as interested GMs that already have 2 imports would have to have further conversations to see if there was a spot for their import that gets bumped. And that doesn't even get into any possible bidding wars/negotiations etc.

Pretty sure when London waived Kolyachonok it took the full 2 weeks.

Was Kolyachonok not a rookie import and thus not eligible to be traded? He had to be waived.
 
Looks like he will be put on waivers this late better than trading him to a team for next to nothing and he comes back to haunt you this year and possibly next.

On a personal level, it has to be tough for Chromiak to have this roster instability, especially in his draft year. Hope for his sake the Wolves can find a trade partner.

Then add on some more picks. Chromiak is legit. I understand the whole Import scenario/value thing, but this type of package should be intriguing to the Petes. They need picks badly going forward, and will sell at some point. Timing might not be right, but hopefully Papineau is pushing hard for this type of trade involving Chromiak and picks

I would hope Papineau is pushing for that kind of trade as well, especially with Toure out. Can you imagine a pairing for Toure-Smith in the playoffs? Would be something else. I'm just losing faith in this season quickly. Too many things to be fixed.

It's up to the other teams to make offers as well. Some are in process of figuring out their import situations whether players are coming or whether they drop their current import in favour on an obvious upgrade in Chromiak. There is also the strategy from certain teams of getting Chromiak for nothing on waivers. There are only so many spots, its not as simple as you make it sound.

K. Smith for a 2nd and 3rd is a good deal for the Petes and Chromiak is an 05 cherry on the top. Don't over estimate what you would be getting in Smith. He's a big physical player with no offensive upside... None. For most contenders he will slot in as a 4th D and PK guy. Sudbury would be getting another Toure.

The Petes are not trading Konnor Smith at this point in the season. The Petes would want a 17 year old defenceman plus the two draft picks, not a defenceman Sudbury has to trade.

Does anyone know if Chromiak - as an import - can play in the AHL after he's drafted? I'm assuming he has a similar status to Filip Mesar and can play in either the OHL or AHL depending on the wants/needs of the club that drafts him?

If so, there's the possibility that teams are hesitant to acquire him for what could be 3/4 of a season, with no guarantee he would be back with them the following season.

Because he will be drafted after he has played in the CHL he is not eligible to play in the AHL. His only options are the NHL, OHL or Europe.

Nothing wrong with adding another Toure to the line-up!
