Stopping in to make sure everyone is mad

I'd go with confused.

They likely could've got the guy for future considerations.

He would have tomahawked Verhaeghe. That puts him over Bryson or Clague.

On the one hand, I just watched him get whipped by Trouba and Foligno. On the other hand, I just watched him line up at wing on a draw to start a fight with Foligno, and he called out Trouba. He's got brass ones.

Fills one of my needs.

At least he won’t skate away. He is ours now so I hope he surprises.

I'm sure there'll be answers. It's odd though for sure.

He's a Defensive Dman that hits and can play PK. He's what people have been calling for on here a 3LD

Look at that we add toughness and people cry


I thought that is what people here wanted

Toughness is sometimes knowing you’re gonna get your ass kicked and saying: alright

Why would they trade a decent prospect for a guy that they'll then buy out after the season.

Not often do you see teams losing a prospect to then lose dollars in a buyout too.

Canucks fans loved the guy:

>>> Stillman was god awful under Bruce and barely a #7 under Tocchet. I often said I would pay to get rid of him. Not having him on the books next year (and crowding out much better players) is a massive win for us.

- kingcong39

I don't even know why they traded anyone for him, it was a bad trade. But when he’s sh!tty here, atleast it will be cheap to dump him if need be.

They must have some reason that he'll fit in here better. It's an odd looking move on the surface.

Saw someone on Twitter saying it's a scheme thing. We'll see. They didn't give up anything too big so hopefully it works and I won't freak if it doesn't

Taking a chance on a friend's son for a cheap price. Don't think we need to read into it that much.

With the huge Stillman move it was missed that we also shored up the goaltending issue today too. Gotta think we are good now.

Bigger question, does it qualify as a "hockey trade" for KA?

I see this move as Rochester depth, maybe a extra guy because our defense gets hurt a lot? Doesnt seem more vibey then bryson?

Maybe I'm wrong?

I don't mind taking a chance on him, but they likely could've had him for virtually nothing.

Why give up even a mediocre prospect, unless Bloom and his father asked out?
