KCon claimed by the coyotes.

So much hope for CoHo when he was drafted. I remember his last world juniors. Man he was exciting to watch. Thought he was the player of the tournament really. But at his first camp you could see he didn't have the skating to be an NHLer.

I think the leaves will pick him up and give him a try. Either that or Europe is calling.

Welp, I guess the Canucks didn't put a claim in, since their claim would have had precedence over Arizona.

Ah well, I guess there's enough tweener Dmen who require waivers on this team as it is.

CoHo played a dipsy doodle Jr hockey game very well against Jr hockey defenders but was never able to adopt to the NHL game.

....and he had no clue defensively
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

For the record, when I made that incredibly ballsy bet Codes was an elite prospect coming off two excellent seasons.

NONE of you fucktards predicted this kind of downward spiral for Hodgson. Pretty sure I told all you idiots that Kassian was crap back when Topps and Strange and Tantatard were proclaiming him Bertuzzi 2.0.

TEN fucking lols at that shit!

Schneids will never win the Vezina!

"Panics under pressure"... they say.

Miller, now there's a dude who knows how to knuckle down and win a Vezina...
