Was he just not pulling his weight? Sad to see him go though
Dammit. I was hoping he’d clear.
I wonder if JBB stopped believing in him or just wanted to give him more playing time in AHL?
So long my beautiful friend
I don’t understand the decision there. This team’s management was so scared to put Douglas on waivers but was perfectly fine putting a better player on waivers instead.
At a certain point, some of these guys will have to gamble on waivers. I hope he does well at STL
Whelp, he did not make it far through the waiver order. Thanks for the 2 incredibly important goals and not much else
bye jack
Seemed like a good kid from his Block party episode, best of luck in St. Louis to him. I’ll cherish the memory of his eyebrows and attempt to fight Foligno
How could no one see that. We have several that will be staged when attempting to put them thru waivers.
Such an odd development. We going to just ride Douglas I guess.
He was a good sub for 4th line, but it makes sense his hometown team claimed him
I don’t get all the love for him from many in our fan base. He was supposed to be a faceoff man and his FOW has dropped to under 50%, still looks painfully slow out there, and only 3 points through 22 games. Just not a lot to be impressed about.
Yes I understand we could’ve sent others down to make room, but also he was probably going to be assigned at some point and JBB took a gamble doing it now. It could be a mistake, but nothing I’ve seen so far is suggestive that we can’t replace his skillset.
I am very surprised JBB didn’t just try a trade instead. I feel like we could have waited for the trades to unfreeze and gotten a 4th or something. It’s better than nothing (though it would have cost money).
I also don’t see the logic in Douglas over Finley. But surely JBB couldn’t have expected Finley to be likely to clear. Maybe it’s just a matter of doing right by a player; Finley at 23 is better off outside a press box, while Douglas likely is what he is.
RIP my daughter’s Finely sweater. She’s gonna be devastated.
Im pretty sure anybody we put through waivers now will get picked up by some other team.
Definitely sucks to see him go, he was a good 4th line/Injury replacement guy.
Could be a decent faceoff guy with more development but thats why we have the waiver rule.
Puck out in St. Louis finley.
Soon in the press box, you could have Lilleberg, D’astous, crozier, carlile, Douglas. Some of these guys (if not all) will have to go through waivers. Finley and Douglas are the odd ones our
Some people have mentioned in comments in other groups, and news reporters have also mentioned, that his father played for St. Louis at one point in time
Dirty Bastard Blues
Wish he made it though. Bright side is less of a roster crunch when Point, Cirelli, Paul, D’Astous, Lilleberg return
Dammit
FUCK.
Lame
Dw guys he will be back
Of course, I got a recent mystery pick signed by him. Oh well, good luck, Jack!
What the hell. Can admit to not understanding the finer details of up and down calls. But I liked his motor and his willingness to scrap and play his role.
He never looked like he fit in . He,just didn’t seem to have a consistent spark. Don’t feel like he fit the system
Sad to lose that smoke show. I was really hoping he would be our face off guy, but I guess that didn’t happen.
I thought rosters were frozen for the Olympic break
Can we just get someone equally handsome?
Was a fan of him after his time in Syracuse! Best of Luck Jack!!
