His consistent inconsistency was getting a little too hard to bear.... Personally I want him to go through. His contract is cheap (so there's no big need to be rid of it) and I think he could really help Utica. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I don't think he will clear, but not very concerned whether he clears or not. Has not come as advertised when he was acquired. Skates around in circles, that even he can't stay on his own feet, and is soft. Plays the peripheral, doesn't hit, doesn't mix it up like he did in junior, and frankly doesn't seem to find an extra gear in his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Meh. 1/4 of this team could be lost on waivers and it wouldn’t hurt us. ..Well except we’d be better off so our lottery odds would be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah upon realizing how cheap his contract is, I'd wager there's a pretty decent chance he gets claimed. I won't crushed about it either if it does happen though.

*Buzzsaw* Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 He can skate circles in the O-zone and hold onto the puck, but he can't make a play. Can't shoot. Can't pass. Can't Penalty Kill. Won't stick his nose in and get the garbage goals. Not tough or big enough to be on a checking line. Nothing he can do that Motte can't do better Sorry Brendan... either its Utica or some other team takes his salary off the books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm assuming he'll clear waivers as no one had claimed him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) LA getting younger and faster I guess...not a huge loss Edited December 3, 2018 by CRAZY_4_NAZZY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadline to file a claim is 12pm ET and it's not announced before. Multiple teams might file a claim for a player but they only reveal the team with the successful claim.

-AJ- Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A bit disappointing, as I wanted him in Utica, but his time here was pretty forgettable, so this isn't a huge loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 What did it for me was when he lost the puck in the corner and looked at the ref instead of retrieving the puck, you don't do #$%^ like that and it didn't even warrant a call. He regressed big time since the start of November. I thought he was a decent pickup last year but didn't do anything to improve whatsoever.

DS4quality Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Willie has far more wins than Green in the month of November . Watch Leipsic go on a tear now. Oh well...

Oh well... Good luck in Los Angeles Brendan Willie is coaching a Norris winner, a Selke winner, and a two time Vezina finalist. All of whom have won two Stanley Cups, along with a few other players remaining on the team. The Kings haven't had the same rash of injuries that the Canucks have either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in Los Angeles Brendan Willie has a team full of veteran Stanley Cup winners... including at least three allstars, (Doughty, Kopitar and Kovalchuk) and one gamebreaker, (Carter) two 30 goal scorers, (Tofoli and Brown) along with a veteran defense... and that team is barely holding its head above water. LA is underperforming. Green has a team which has been crippled by injuries... and which is nearly all untried. Canucks were over-performing at the start with their lineup intact... now they are performing as expected with half the lineup either still out or recovering their form after injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
