Cheechoo to St Lou

[puckhead]

$600k two way deal.
at some point, that's gotta be a good gamble.

it's amazing that it was only 6 years ago that he scored 56 goals
what an unbelievable decline... 56 - 37 - 23 - 12 - 5 - 0 (spent all last year in AHL)

How old is cheechoo now?

 

[Slimpikins]

Good for him. I hope he can get back onto an NHL roster. A couple of sports herneas and a knee surgery turned his below average skating into 'worse than Douglas Murray' skating.

Good luck, Cheech! Stay healthy.

Which is still miles better than John Scott skating...

That is unbelievable.

Btw, he turns 31 this week, Rit. So those are basically all his prime years.

Holy crap...this guy was once a premiere player, and now he's taking 2-way deals. Just so bizarre. You gotta think he'll bounce back to a certain degree, right? 56 goals...you can't just flub into that. There has to be more talent left. You HAVE to have good hands, at the very least.
