I didn't know Rick Dhaliwal was still doing his thing.

 

Anyways... time to put our Utica depth to the test!

[Jack Fig 8,175]

Chatter! Let's hear some Chatter!

[NUCKER67 7,658]

So, does this mean Tanev is out and Fantenberg is in? Chatfield to view the game from the press box?

Yeah usually what that means

Yes, in Canuck-speak it means you've been given a promotion but won't be playing hockey for the next week.

[Ossi Vaananen 7,277]

Lol, he probably is just here to watch. We got to give Fantenberg a game. Hell, he was just excited to take a pregame skate:

Yeah. He was axed from Sportsnet 650 in a bit of an underhanded move but TSN 1040 snatched him up right away.

Pay day.

To be fair at this stage of their careers Fantenberg>Chatfield. Also wouldn't make much sense to keep Fantenberg on the 23 man roster than play call-ups over him.

And some popcorn to watch the game from the press box.

Watch Fantenberg just kill it and become a staple on the defense.

that would be awesome. It would make things pretty interesting trade-wise later this season.

Benn will likely move up and play RD with Hughes.  Stecher and the Fantom can play as a pair.

Also hoping for that. And Fantom is a cool nickname.

Good for Chatfield. Great story and hopefully he can get into a game. Undrafted d-man who, when we signed him, was said to be Tanev-lite. Let's see what this kid's got. Though, he'll probably ride the bench and Fantenberg will get a few games.

[NUCKER67 7,658]

I think this probably really motivates Chatfield as well. Being around the big team, soaking up the atmosphere, learning. Not only will he be paid well, it`ll encourage him to push hard to make the team down the road.

So much better depth this season it is actually quite pleasant to call players up.

 

Looking forward to seeing the fanman replace the tanman.

 

Tanev was a really good fit for Hughes though.
