Down by the River Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 52 minutes ago, milk and honey said: Honestly I love Baer but I get why he is one chosen. 81games in 2years and he still got 2years at 3.667m that's a decent amount of money and cmon guys benning defo looked for a trade Yeah but if he is injured all the time you just IR him and it only costs real dollars and not cap dollars. Baer was either going to get 50 points this year or spend half the year on IR. Either way, the Canucks would have got good value from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Forsling on waivers, the guy people roast Benning over saying he’s bad at trades Not happy seeing Baer on waivers over guys like Schaller and Eriksson. Finally have a decent opportunity to have some production on the 3rd line and you waive him to keep plugs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Bear got waived because we spent a ton on mediocre depth players. Bear is in no way not good enough for this all star roster lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in Ottawa. This one will come back to bite us in the ass. Like Frankie Corrado did? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players who Baertschi is "better" than generally do what Green likes in his bottom 6 better (even Eriksson). Part of this is clearing cap/contract. I'm not sure one fairly solid camp undos all the nothing Schaller provided last season. Course we all know how Stannis ended up in that series.

This story may not be over yet. If Baer is taken, then it clears needed cap, which in todays NHL costs you to move. If he's not taken, then the cap clearing value is only 1.075 mil and it wouldn't surprise me to see Baer recalled and Loui waved if the cap saving is equivalent. People need to chill and wait to see how this plays out. 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to crap over the positive outlook but teams that are coming off multiple championships like Chicago and LA in years past should be the ones suffering cap casualties, not arguably the worst team in the league over the past 4 seasons.

Tom Sestito Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 5 minutes ago, Darius said: Playing devil's advocate here. Baer was drafted in 2011 and has never played a full season in the NHL Prior to the concussion he had durability issues.. Career high is 35 points. Career games played high is 69. Suffered major concussion last year. Top 6 has needed an influx of toughness and durability for years. They went out and got it, now Baer is a casualty. You do realize Ferland has had his career plagued with concussion issues as well, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's behind the blueline (D & G) that stinks worse than when Alf 'cuts the cheese'. Yeah, looking at their depth chart, they seem okay down the middle. It's on the wing where the roster turns into a veritable "who's that?" of players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don’t see it as a casualty if they weren’t going to give him playing time. Look at it this way. Any time given to Baer would be at the expense of younger players with potential getting that ice time instead. Cleary they weren't as worried about the logjam on the 4th line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gerry35 Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2019 I really do like Baertchi and hope he passes through waivers. We all knew there were tough decisions coming and here it is. I do believe there are more moves coming. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
