BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Jensen can't come up until the 5th of march I believe. It's interesting timing however. Maybe like others have suggested another 4th grinder is coming in a trade or maybe it's simply Pinizotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestito29 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 LOL people really have no idea who Pinnizotto is if they are calling him a plug. The guy has never had a shot in the NHL. He put up great numbers in the AHL, won a Calder Cup, a decent fighter, hitter and impressed in his preseason here in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strombone1 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Jim Matheson Oilers were nosing around Aaron Volppati awhile back. They should be taking him on waivers from Canucks. They need toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsbutcher Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Aaron Volpatti on waivers for 2 reasons. 1. Get him icetime. 2. Open roster spot for Steve Pinizzotto, coming off injured non-roster status. Pinizzotto has 327 PIMs in last 154 games over past 3 seasons in the AHL, Sounds like he plays a pretty hard game. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Once Pinizzotto is officially on VAN roster (after Volpatti clears or is claimed) SP can be sent to Chicago (AHL) for conditioning stint. Dan Murphy @sportsnetmurph #canucks need roster spot, Weise kills penalties+Volpatti doesn't. VAN didn't want to expose a d-man on waivers. Reasons for decision.

DIBdaQUIB Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Unless this has to do with a trade, it's just re-arranging deck chairs on theTitanic. It doesnt matter who they bring in to replace Volpatti on the 4th, that isn't our problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ugh. Oilers are going to claim him and he will end up knocking Weise out in his first game against us. This team needs a real shake up, not a career minor league Mighty Mouse for the fourth line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Question.. are we legally allowed to call back jensen? doubt its the reason patti was waived but is it legal or does he have to honor his contract over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Volpatti isn't and was never the problem....Hello GM and AV???? Is anybody home? How about a dense 4th line who is stuck in their own defensive zone for 6 minutes a game (against other 3rd or 4th lines), cannot produce any offensive production... How about no 2nd or 3rd line??? Bring up Ebbett again and this team has truly no remedy for it's long time issue of chemistry and balanced attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sure. The Oilers can claim him, and then waive who? Ben Eager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 i dont get it. so pinni has to report to the canucks? why cant he just report to chicago after injury then call him up if he's playing good after a little conditioning down there. It wouldnt make much sense to waive volpatti now, we could have an injury from now untill pinnizotto is up to speed in the minors is that mackenzie speculating or the actual plan we have to follow?

Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Unfortunately I think Volpatti is a good enough grinding depth forward that he could be claimed, I hope not. There is plenty of time between now and the next game so this could all really just be about icetime for Volpatti, nothing else. However if a trade was in the works, it has been suggested one may come down during a break in the schedule which we find ourselves in right now.

thad Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If they end up fighting Volpatti will knock Weise the fu*k out. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Bummer I am a big fan of the guy and he's a BC boy we need more local players especially bangers. He has more hits than Lappy per minute played too and there solid hits. He's shown some pretty good hands too. I hope he clears I'd rather waive Weise but maybe Weise would be more likely to be picked up? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCKWIp1LLvY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckin Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Weise> Volpatti Weise has upside offensively,his fighting may be hard to watch. Think if you look at the last week you can see the two where given a chance to prove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 you guys act as if volpatti is chuck liddell and weise is steve urkel. I agree volpatti has a bit of an edge but not much, either guy could win the fight. Just depends on how the initial grab goes but it would probably be fairly even. i have yet to see weise come in to a fight with his hands down and that is the only way patti has knocked a guy out. Weise has held his own in every fight this year, he's lost some but not by much. like a punch or 2 more landed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
