ken kaniff Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 i love the way Ballard and Tanev have been playing but i would really like to see what Barker can do. One game vs someone outside the division, just to see if he can be a good call up. Because if in the playoffs say Tanev or Ballard gets injured and Barker is plugged in without having got a look, then plays awful and loose the game we wont be in a good position. I think a game soon to plug in Barker would be a good idea. maybe vs Phoenix on the 26th. what do you think? Also what was the point of signing Vandermeer if we just send him to the AHL and never use him. i would much rather have called up Connauton in case of injuries in that case.

Xur Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah expect Alberts to be called up before Barker, but that said Barker is listed on our roster and I would be surprised if he didn't get a call up or two on back to back nights against an eastern team in the rtegular season.

disisdayear Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tanev and Ballard are playing too well to be taken out of the lineup...other than an injury to any of the top six, I doubt you'll see either Alberts or Barker inserted into the lineup anytime soon. Season is too short to be inserting guys in to see what they could do especially when the players they would replace is playing well. If we were in an 82 game season, for sure...you'd love to see what guys like Barker, Vandermeer and Alberts would do. If Vandermeer makes in into the lineup (BTW, he's the only one that is subject to a call up as Alberts and Barker are already with the big club as non-roster players), it'll probably be as a LW...but he would have to displace Volpatti who is playing well on the fourth line.

VicNuckleHead09 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I find it really funny how some fans have NO clue what is going on with this season with regards to.. ( Buyouts, Schedule, Trade deadline, etc...). Are you guys sure you even watch hockey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_P Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I saw what Barker can do when he was with Chicago, Minny, and Edmonton. It isn't much. He kinda stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancouvercanucks#1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Why? Does he have to clear waivers to be put down, or is he just so unimpressive that the Wolves don't even want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobopan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I do think getting some of these "extra" guys in some game action at some point this season is a good idea. I hate the idea of seeing an injury and having a guy that hasn't played in real game action in close to 9+months having to come in. Throw Alberts in for a game against Columbus and do the same for Barker at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler's Nose Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I would also like to see what Barker can do, but now isn't the time.. He'll have to wait a few games, after Tanev scored in OT he is guaranteed a few more games at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Coaches work with them daily. they know what they can do. Obviously the status quo is doing fine without them. Unless injury, they won't be playing for a while. Pleasantly surprised to see tanev and ballard playing better than garrison so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
