I’m happy as long as he can skate.

Just going off the lines this morning but you're right. In that case, Greer-Schwindt-Duehr is worse.

Why are people complaining?

He’s a clear upgrade on Hunt. Good pick up.

Sounds like the 4th line will have speed on both wings with Greer and Duehr.

It's a good claim, would have preferred Lavoie more. Juicier story line and a better scoring option down the road.

Sounds like a Hathaway type of player. I'm ok with that for a 4th liner. Maybe he clicks with Duehr.

As long as he doesn't get trapped on the ice for long shifts like Lucic did, I'm good with this

Hopefully he becomes a fan-favourite

Meh, were probably some other waiver options with more upside, but any waiver addition doesn't hurt us either. No risk, minor reward, drop the puck & let's see.

Exactly what I wanted to hear - thank you.

Lucic for Greer is a great trade!

Greer - Ruzicka - Duehr

6'3" 209 - 6'4" 215 - 6'2" 210

And having 2 wingers with motors, who are good on the forecheck, should serve Ruzicka well, and keep him engaged

Pro scouting team should have a good book on him. He played with Sharangovich in the past as well as some minor leaguers the Heat/Wranglers have had in the past - Hickey, Scheuneman, Gourley. He also suited up alongside Jarome Iginla and Nikita Zadorov in Colorado.

Cheap and brings toughness as a standout skill. No problem putting him in the press box for extended periods of time if needed.
