GB5 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hamrlik's got a lot of miles on him and I think his best days are well in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 We'd have to act quick on a deal for Ballard if we wanted to do this, but if something's already in place I could see Hamrlik being ok for a depth guy. Not great but ok, I'd rather try and add a little to get Despres from Pittsburgh though and have an inexpensive option we can grow with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks fan in chicago Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 We should get Kosto and eep him as our 13th forward. Can hit, stands up for teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just so I'm clear on the Kostopoulos waiver, he was JUST signed by Pits and reassigned to their AHL team, or is it the other way around, and he's on waivers to be activated in the NHL?

Jägermeister Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I could see the Red Wings picking up Hamrlik. They have the cap space and he would fill in a huge hole on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 heh... ya know... our defense is struggling, but its not because the lack of depth, but because they are not playing that well, "Edler, Bieksa" that being said, we have no business going after someone like Harmlik. Insulting to our defence if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Washington has been having trouble of defense all year. I wonder if they're making room for an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 My understanding is that Kostopoulos was just signed as a UFA to a 2 way deal but has to clear waivers to be sent down due to his games played and age. If folks wanted him, they could have signed him... no need to pick him up on waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hamrlik's decline here is pretty sad. But he's had a better NHL career than Yashin, certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hamrlik pissed everyone off when he got selfish and complained about the lock out and the NHLPA. I am not sure I want this guy on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
