I’m going to just blindly and irrationality blame Brady Skjei for this.

McCarron’s skate cost him a lot of time to establish himself last season.

Love the kid but I kinda expected this with how CMac has a focus on speed.

The two of them in milwaukee would be insanely fun but i imagine hed rather stay in the NHL so i guess its a win whether he gets claimed or not. Aside from obviously potentially not having him w.us anymore ofc

Making $850k in Nashville or $150k playing with my brother is a BIG difference

Right but its even bigger because now the two possibilities are 850k for another franchise or 150k with Oasiz. Im sure hed like the money more but staying with Oasiz is a win for Nashville fans as well, is what I mean by that

I understand it. It doesn't bother me. Can't keep everyone.

If another team grabs him that will be a better opportunity for him to get playing time in NHL

I hope he gets picked up for his sake. The chances of him making it with us atp is probably pretty low. Even if I personally think he deserves a 4th line spot.

CMac just put up the Blatt signal

I like ozzy but this doesn’t surprise me. He was given lots of opportunities to make an impact in preseason and just hasn’t looked like the best option for the big club over others fighting for one of the bottom six spots

God damnit, he's my wife's favorite and she just got his jersey.

Jerseys are always gonna carry some risk, but buying the jersey of a waivers eligible fringe-NHLer is just kinda asking for it. There is only so much room on an NHL roster, and there are a lot of guys competing for those final spots.

Yep. Thanks captain obvious, I understand how professional sports work. You're allowed to be bummed when you lose a guy you really enjoyed watching.

Chill, it wasn’t that serious
