2013 Waiver Pick (DAL)

[Ennzie]

Confirmed

[The BBKL Insider]

solid deal, makes sense for both guys

[Peter]

Probably a homer deal for me. Impressed with Schroeder's development this year and think he has a nice NHL future.

[Peter]

That being said abdelkader hits periphs well and the DET coaching staff really likes him, hard guy to knock off the puck.

[Nick]

Trade advisor confirms.

[The BBKL Insider]

opps,

my apologies, i thought he was over the 2 week period

[Nick]

He is, but we extended it to 2-weeks after the trade freeze.

Schroeder is burried in the system and doesnt have periph stat line. BBKL wise, this is a win for Ennzie.

[Peter]

I like guys buried in systems. They cost less

[Shoalzie]

Hard to say what Abdelkader's role will be going forward...he's probably looking at being a winger on one of the top lines next year. He's taken to a Franzen/Holmstrom-like role.

[kimmer]

Likes it for Dallas

[kyuss]

Probably a homer deal for me. Impressed with Schroeder's development this year and think he has a nice NHL future.

my impression as well

[The BBKL Insider]
