Veleno to CHI for Mrazek & Craig Smith

[Retire91]

Not sure I understand that trade, glad to move on from Veleno he is from that era of denial of how overrated and terrible Holland's prospect pool was. But why move mediocrity for a bigger collection of more expensive mediocrity. We could have just sent him to the AHL and waited out the contract.

wut?

Would have rather traded Veleno for a conditional 7th than those two.

Lyon and Mrazek goalkeeper situation today says nice.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Veleno scored today. I guess we lost the trade.

 

[Dotter]

Mrazek had one shutout, that's worth 5 goals from Veleno. So we still won

Veleno scored today. I guess we lost the trade.

SY freed up a forward roster contract slot for a goalie plug next year and some sandpaper on the 4th line this year as T-Mc is going through evaluations....I expect a few more bodies that don't fit the Coach's style to be jettisoned before October...I don't think JV was in the long term mix, but I hope he does well in the windy city.
