desperate louzer because he has no assets or cap room to go shopping for a real d man. And no ahl recall power. even tho with 6 out lt isles have some cap space to play with.
just what we need a small 5'10 defensive guy. Doesn't our defense get pushed around enough? lol….don't like it.
Good pickup. Former Hobby Baker winner. RFA at season end. Could be something here for future too.
I really don't know about this guy. But. What I seem to be taking away from this is. He seems to be a defensive, defenseman who can put up some points here and there. AND, he's left handed. And that definitely helps. Again. Don;t know about him at all. But thats my take away thus far. All we can do is, hope he's a good fit. 'Cause we need all the help we can get.
if Nelson and Palmieri arent dealt … then this season is a humongous failure
This tells you, in no uncertain terms, that Pulock and Dobson are going to be on the IR list for a LONG time
Why did St. Louis make this trade?
We also now have four 3rd pair defensemen in the lineup…Perunovich, DeAngelo, George and Mayfield with Cholowski as our 7th D-man
Yah, they could bring up Bolduc, but I think the team just wants him to work on developing his game. Being up as the 7th dman last year was a mistake. He needs reps and experience at this age, not sitting in the press box and doing practices. I hope he gets his game back (points are starting to come along) and he can be ready to compete for a spot LD 3rd pairing next year. There are definitely options with
Pelech, Romanov, George, Reilly, Perunovich, Bolduc, Odelius on the left side.
The right side is a little more sparse with Pulock, Dobson, Mayfield, DeAngelo, Hutton, ???
I like the Perunovich move. He's a good mobile defender and I think he can be serviceable kind of like Reilly was last year when he joined the team. Similar player – I think from what little I've seen.
Ok so I’m guessing everyone knows the sorry sad reason we’re acquiring these Defense men BECAUSE LAMARILLO SUCKS AND WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FARM TEAM, thank you 💣🧨💣🧨
I'm not going to pretend I know this player at all. It does tell me though that Pullock and Dobson aren't coming back anytime soon, and my thoughts about Isles management's view of Bolduc is not favorable.
Good puckup based on what they say about him. If he pans out as a solid defensman i would sign him to a 3 year contract. He has alot of speed and we need that.
I’m alright with this. Bring him in and see what he can do this year. Maybe a change of scenery will help him out. I think he could be a good addition on the PP2 especially with all the injuries to the team. I like how he’s an RFA too, maybe he could help out Bridgeport next year if he doesn’t pan out in the NHL.
