...isn't he a half-decent Bottom Six plug??...always thought he was OK...

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Mamma mia!!!!

 

[Ulf5]

Clearing a roster spot for a C?

 

[AHLdepth]

Aaaah now it all makes sense

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL, FLY AWAY FROM HERE!!!

He is, the Canucks have been aggressively waiving and calling up all year to maximize cap space at the deadline

 

[1989]

Considering the sequence of events for everything that's happened...

 

[NyQuil]

He had some moments in the playoffs last year IIRC

 

[Fatass]

How many times does this guy clear waivers before a club takes a chance on him?

 

[DeltaSwede]

Pisses me off every time Elliot uses that dumb VCR abbreviation

 

[Bitz and Bites]

He’s usually noticeable out there, has some jam and forechecks well and sometimes looks like there might be more there but there really isn’t. Good pro who won’t hurt you, could be a usable player on a team with a weak fourth line.

Brandt Clarke to Vancouver (e5)

I personally get depressed when he's on the big club. For me he epitomizes everything wrong with Tochett.
He has zero offensive ability taking up a spot from more useful players.

I know right. soo annoying why not just use "VAN"

...why??...if he's a better Bottom Sixer than a kid who has more offensive talent but doesn't play a Bottom Six style, shouldn't Di Giuseppe be in the Bottom Six??...

Dr Oetker incoming.

 

[Overcast]

NYR legend.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Do they found another Pettersson?

[Just A Bit Outside]

Wasn’t tall enough for Tocchet.

 

[Soups On]

Loved him in the first half of last year and then he just wasn't the same player. Good guy to have on the 4th line and hope no one claims him for that reason. Great name as well.

 

[seafoam]

Duclair is sick and Roy doesn’t like Engvall, I could see NYI taking a flyer on him.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Odd. I would have though he would have stayed up. Another move maybe?

 

[canadianmagpie]

Had some success when he was partnered up with Miller and Boeser last year. This year? Not so much. He's a capable 4th liner but just getting that little bit older and doesn't have much of a shot. Just don't expect much and he'll surprise you from time to time.
