He's not even on the Hurricanes' taxi squad, so seems odd to make this move.

Is this anything other than them wanting to get rid of him?

Maybe they had an agreement that if they weren't going to use him, he could get a chance somewhere else?

Curious.

Waivers to get him to their ahl team

Edit: it's unconditional waiver so he can play overseas.

So now we can work out a trade for him?
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah, Matthews and Marner for Ennis and Larsson

Always wondered if that kid would turn into something after that one year with the marlies.... apparently not

I had high expectations of him.. Just never panned out.

He was an amazing Dubas pick, until he was a poopty Hunter pick.

He was assigned to their AHL team on Jan 12th.

I'm assuming that included exposing him to waivers, no?

Yeah it’s probably safe to say that it’s more of a release so he can go play overseas

It’s too bad... must be frustrating to get that close to the show and not be able to take that final step

Was it Hunter's idea to trade down and lose out on Konecny?

Score close to 80P as a Marlie and you’re destined to be an nhl first team all star in leaf land

Let's not forget that at like 21 he was over a point per game in the ahl.

He was included in a trade for McD dozens of times

He didn't want to go to ahl.

Also, had a decent OHL career, and then did really well with the Marlies.. I wonder what happened?

I have limited mental capacity at my age - why should I remember that?

I would rather remember where I parked my car.

I don't want to speculate, but he did take off a few months for personal reasons.

I guess I am kinda speculating...

It was once Dermott sucked, but before that it was genius, or maybe genius, timeframe pending.
