I still don't get why we couldn't move Pearson down to third line with his size and power... and why we must hold on to both Motte and Schaller! hmmm...

Don't worry, with this team's bad luck with injuries, soon we will be short of players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It creates bonus overages and limits who can be recalled. Under LTIR the performance bonus of the recalled player also has to be covered. It creates issues to recall prospects like Juolevi who have performance bonuses. But in the meantime, we will be fine. Juolevi is a long ways away from being recalled and we will make space then if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, that boy better get his sizable rear in gear with Gaudette pushing for a spot, and Leivo soon to be competition with Roussel returning. Adapt or die Jake. SO disappointing that after a clear directive from Green on what he needed to do this past summer, he shows up unprepared for the pre season. He has some great tools but time is running out on his starting to show the ability to use them consistently and to show the maturity of being a professional. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Gotta say - it's really quite remarkable the depth they've managed under the cap, particularly with the bullshizz Luongo penalty thrown into the mix (and LE seriously underperforming) - to be able to add Miller, Myers, Ferland, Benn and eat the Luo re-crap is pretty surprising. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi is a long ways away from being recalled and we will make space then if needed. First he needs to get back up to speed and get his legs under him in Utica. After that, he likely will only be recalled later this year and after a potential Tanev trade...at which point we'll have loads of cap space having cleared Tanev's $4+m. All the Pollyannas around here need to calm down and just let the team handle this. They've got this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also expect this team to be tough to play against and have a PP that teams actually have to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't confuse overpaid with not an NHLer. Agreed. If people stop worrying about his contract or his offensive output, Louie is still a useful NHL player. He was brought in and paid to score goals. He has obviously failed miserably in this area but he still brings a lot to this team that others cannot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't confuse overpaid with not an NHLer. I’m not. I don’t think the little things he does right make up for his effort level. The league is changing and going younger and faster. Not sure how much longer we can still call him an NHLer for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me that's a no-brainer - you waive LE. Or you deal them both to Deadmonton for Puljujaarvi. I'd hate to deal Virtanen at this point, but if it translated into moving LE's cap and getting a project that the Coil have failed, perhaps. To Coilerland: JV, LE To Van: JP, Sam Gagner lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseforthenet Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 2 hours ago, aGENT said: Oh, I'm not talking about them. We still don't have room for Adam 'Earned it' Gaudette given he was a spare along with Eriksson yesterday. And that's before Roussel comes back. I'm not sure there's room on this team for all three of Virtanen, Leivo and Gaudette long term... I dunno. I kind of think Sutter gets bumped to the wing again. Still feels like Sutter gets traded out sometime soon here. He doesn't seem to fit and that may be why Baertschi got waived in the first place too. With how injury prone he is, teams could want to see him into some games before they make a move for him. Gaudette earned 3rd line center duties, IMO.
