  1. Just a reminder for ya Curt! Don't want to lose out on any Letang points!

    Did I miss a player moving down or something somewhere? I have it marked down to recall him but haven't seen a roster spot open up yet... I'll search back and double check.

  3. So, Gagner expected to play tonight for the Oilers...

    Just curious, but wasn't he supposed to be out "at least 6-8 weeks" with that broken jaw?? Funny how the prognosis for Oiler players is always so bleak, especially while they're tweeting pictures before Kassians hearing, and then they make a miraculously speedy recovery, isn't it?

    I mean, RNH was supposed to be out until November 1st, but he came back Oct. 7th. Gagner was expected to miss until mid-November at the earliest, and he's back already.

    I have to wonder if their doctors are just really terrible at determining a timeline, or if they're doing it to try and increase the severity of suspensions against players who commit fouls against their team? Not saying the Kassian suspension wasn't warrented, I would have given him something for being so reckless with his stick. But I still think 8 games is excessive for an accidental errant high stick. But I digress....

    Given the league's penchant for suspending based on injury rather than by the action, do you guys think this sort of thing is common practice by some teams, to announce/make potential injuries in these cases seem much worse than they are to try and get a longer suspension for the other teams players? Some players just heal faster, and that could be the case here of course, not screaming conspiracy or anything, but in such a competitive league and given the ineptitude of the league to get a proper handle on suspensions, I wonder if this is a strategy that some teams would employ??

  4. Knowing Torts.... It won't be announced until after 12pm

    :lol: Probably true... hoping to catch someone semi-credible on Twitter at least before then. If I hear nothing, I'll probably activate him just before noon.

  5. WAIVERS: The Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed Nick Schultz off waivers from the St. Louis Blues.

    (As CBJ currently has no active roster spot for Schultz, he will be automatically placed on waivers at 9:50am Oct.29th if a roster spot is not cleared for him by then, or if CBJ places Schultz on waivers before then)

  6. ASSIGNMENT: The Winnipeg Jets have sent Eric Tangradi and Tyson Barrie to their minor league team in Revelstoke.

    RECALL: The Winnipeg Jets have recalled Nathan Beaulieu from the Revelstoke Grizzlies.
