  1. Because EP40's need of a LW is a 'now'/ very soon issue. Linus Karlsson is a non factor for 3/ 4/ 5 years. Hopefully EP40 has a quality LW before that.
  2. Really need to have this non-move explained to me ! Keep wondering what I'm missing.
  3. Indeed. It will be interesting to see who fills his TOI ! Many CDCers ( myself included ) want way more ice time for Lind and Gadjovich (...and Jasek ? ). This is a blow to Utica, but hopefully there is a silver lining !
  4. He does have the advantage of being in a great system that maximises potential. Just look how they have nurtured Justin Holl ! (.....and I'm sure Frank Corrado will be forever grateful. )
  5. No, he is definitely a Canuck fan. Spelled all those complex 'nuck names perfectly (.....okay, he got three wrong, let's not nitpick ). No TML fan would be that accurate !
  6. The AHL regular season ends about a week after the NHL. If Canucks are out and Comets are in, seems that Gaudette would benefit from having the option to play for Utica. ( after playing a game or two to end their regular season )
  7. MacEwen and Mazanec seem to be the only two papered down. Does not make sense. ( perhaps a delay because of all the TDL activity ? )
  8. Thought Gaudette had to be 'papered' down to Utica today, to be eligible for a Calder cup run. Only MacEwen and Mazanec are listed. (.......and no Schenn ) Edit:......or Sautner
  9. This may be a TDL move so that he can play for the Calder cup. It's a bit confusing as I expected Schenn and Gaudette also to be 'sent down' today.
  10. Well it seems that there's a rumour around that TB wants Ristolainen. EG and RR's value seems 'on a par', so maybe we'll get to find out EG's value.
  11. You shot me down by quoting RU DavidPratt. Ouch !
  12. 50/ 50 that you're correct. I think this is one that needs to be addressed next training camp at the earliest. There are a handful of NHLers playing today that have had somewhat parallel concussion ( /neck ) issues. Skinner in Buffalo, iirc, was one concussion away from ending his career.
  13. So the only d-man from our current roster would be Hutton.
  14. No, no you don't ! You have him tied to a whipping post and the alpha male in you needs to have satisfaction. Gudbranson had about half a dozen o-zone moments last night. I think he may have ended up behind the NYI net on one rush. He had 4 official shots on goal, one which Lehner was lucky to keep out of the net. Perhaps you missed last night's game. Let me guess, you also 'like' Sutter, Eriksson, Tanev and Edler.
  15. Marc-Andre Gragnani ? Claire Alexander ? ( both a ton of fun to watch ! ) I'm sure it's a long list !
  16. NT with 2 assists and over 23 min TOI today.
  17. Jett Woo and the MJ Warriors on various SN channels @ 12:30pm Saturday. ( 23rd Feb )
  18. Well, Leighton clears. McKenna on waivers at the same time. Probably we'll stand pat, but who knows ?
  19. Well it's 6:50 PST Wednesday. Usually these transactions are known at 6am. I love CapFriendly ( even removed my ad blocker ) but they seem much quicker when TML are involved in any way.
  20. The turtle derby is frustrating. If we miss the playoffs, we're picking ( using realistic prognostications ) anywhere from 6th to 12th. If we make the playoffs, we're almost certainly picking 16th. I both want to see a post season and am scared at how that could backfire on us. A healthy team might be able to hold their heads high, but Murphy's Law has not been our friend. I will always take a win over a tank, but I think that a post season has more negatives than positives.
  21. This is 100% opinion and has no factual context. Doubt that he had any 'option' re taking a draft pick ( my opinion ).
  22. Who should we expect to be called up ? Six d-men only and the Canucks play a day sooner than the Comets ! Doesn't really make sense. I believe that we will add that 23rd roster spot. If that means a Comet's call up, I'd guess that Sautner would be the likely option.
  23. Watching the first clip is quite disappointing. I have been a big, big supporter of Evan McEneny, but he plays his man badly, giving him way too much space. He should not be allowing his man the freedom to pick and choose where he wants to shoot from !
  24. The 16 teams that make the playoffs start drafting after all the non playoff teams have picked ( barring trades ). As of today, we are just out of the playoffs, but there are three eastern teams with records better than us, so we would be pick #12. If we make the playoffs, we are almost certainly 16th in points. If we are out after the first round, our pick would be #16 ( 1st after the 15 non playoff teams. )
  25. Yes, really have no idea where the truth lies. I totally expected Carl Neill to be signed. Neill may end up with better stats over Brassard or Subban. Believe his skating nixed a signing. Don't know where Brassard falls in the good/ bad skating question. His offence, like Neill and Subban's is very good.
