heres my take.
berard burnt the bridge that the org littered with gasoline. they aired out some stuff that isnt good. who really knows. i still see carolina got a steal in carter. that being said at the end of the year hes worth nothing, so you have to factor in the money you save dumping him. berard is also comming off back surgery and has only played 10 games. thats another knock against him.
platt got sent back down to cuse. he really is a great story, a guy who wasnt drafted and made his way through the columbus system. lacks size to really play at the nhl level.
methot, a young kid. that was his first nhl game. ive never seen him play in person. though he looked big, even for his 6 3 200lbs frame. hes a 21 year old who has been maturing down in cuse. id heard he had really started to turn into a solid steady ahl player in a pairing with pushor (yikes!) hes a london knight (like nash) who i beleive is like plus 13 down in cuse. limited offensive upside, but looks to be a solid stay at home guy. id like to see him hang around for a try out with the big boys (6 or so games min up here )
glencross, with all due respect hes an ahl player. with what hes done in columbus hes already matched what he had for career nhl games. good org depth player if needed. but who knows new locations often find guys in situations where they flourish

apparently. i dont believe the report honestly. ive yet to see it on the wire. only reported by ek. who for all intent and purposes is a blogger, who yes calls some big moves. i compare him to some of the guys you see in cfb recruiting. he hits some big homeruns, but most of the times he swings and misses. i still have yet to see a major source to report it (read tsn.ca) time will tell but i doubt its true.

hollywood is a nice player. hes still relativley young at 25 ( i think) he has real nice offensive upside. played up and down in montreal (between the big club and hamilton the habs ahl team (basically splitting time between the big league and the hockey equiv of aaa), montreal has some serious injury issues on the blue line. hainsey was recalled, he had to clear waivers and doug snagged him. we paid nothing for him. great pick up. he has really really improved i think under hitch. its not in theory the best match, but for a guy who was considered "hard to coach" hes taken to it. seems to really be flourshing in the nononsene ken hitchcock style. so in conclusion i agree. has a nice offensive upside, good size and should only improve as he progresses and ages. still prob not better than a #4/5 type guy though on the blue line. (so essentially hes a second or third pairing dman)

so im guessing that since keller is a bit younger its a similar thing. unless its moving things around for salary purposes for the wings...
