    Are we playing our young guys in the bottom six down there?  Clearly Baer and Goldy are not bottom six players.  JB said as much.  Loui and Schaller would play bottom six down there, and still help the team win.  

    yes, if both play in Utica, the 2 of them likely will be on different lines as left wingers, so they will help develop and give confidence to the others there. Kole Lind as an RW will be one in particular that would benefit. aslo Macewen as center  Gadjovich, Jasek as RW

    This is as close to a playoff roster I can recall this team building from scratch. 

     

    Getting there is the hard part, but once they’re in, look out. 

    The great thing here is if Baer and Goldy slide through and they play in Utica , we have 2 top and 2 bottom 6 NHL caliber forwards to sub in for injuries which wasn't the case for the past 4 years. Little more concern with the D depth if Biega is taken however

    They've been trying to trade him this summer already.  

    Just think that 2 years @ 3.3m with 5 concussions sends up all the red flags.

    This may be a bounce back year but they've all gone down that road before.

    Biega would be one that may go. good cap hit, knows his roles and plays it well

    First of all kudos to JB and Green for rewarding Gaudette as the easy road to take would be to send him down.

    So now we have Schaller, Eriksson, Leivo and Gaudette that may rotate in and out of the lineup.

     

    Out of those 4 Schaller is the best fit for a grinding 4th liner/ PK, has chemistry with Beagle  and Motte

    Eriksson is the best fit for a bottom 6 role and the PK and had a decent camp

    Gaudette is the best fit for a 3rd line centre/winger to give us 3 scoring lines depending on who we play and is ready to move into a top 6 role if needed

    Leivo is the best fit for 3rd to 4th liner that has chemistry on the PP

     

    Baer unfortunately didn't fit the top 6, still was not completely in game shape from his injuries and likely will clear waivers. He will get time in with Utica and if/when injuries happen to our top 6 he'll probably be the first call up.

     

    Have to think a trade is coming soon for one of our bottom 6 guys that actually may be a trade-able asset. JV, Leivo

    I think the team is concerned with Sven’s concussion history, good chance he is one hit from being out of the league  , if we waive someone else lose them and then lose Sven 3 weeks from now it’s a double whammy

    Have to agree here. nothing else makes sense outside of giving him some time in the AHL to play through all of his current injury history and when injuries happen hopefully he's completely ready to go.

    For another team to take on his cap with the concussion history would be quite a surprise.

    OK this makes no sense unless they don't want to take a chance on his concussion history and pass the risk to another team.

    He easily fits into the top 6-9 and a great option for one of our PP's. Benning even said " we have 3 line that can score" . we don't if he gets claimed or sent through

    He's also a pretty responsible 200' player so his injury history has to be the kicker here.

     

    Hope this is just fake news,  as Schaller or goldy or both should go before Baer.

    Jake is not a highly competitive person.  Even a contract year is not stimulating him.  I don't understand his lack of passion for winning.  

    He came in last saying he wanted to be that frustrating player to play against. he needs to get back to his roots, forget about scoring, fore-check like hell, drive to the net,  and get under everyone's nerves.

    That's the JV people want to see, so here's hoping for some signs tonight.

    Okay, we now can accept that our team's players might not be chosen on merit.  Loui playing well, seriously?  He's looked weak, slow, and old.  Hello TBay.  Congrats on getting our 2021 lottery pick!  Damn it!  It's hard some days to be positive.  Where in the hell is my bottle??? :picard:

    His tool box is so full of little things it'll make your head spin!

    If Brock is still inactive when the season starts

     

    Ferland- Petey- Leivo

    Miller- Bo- Pear

    Baer- sutter- Gaud

    Eriksson- Beagle - Jake

    spare- Goldy - Motte

    Waive Schaller

     

    keep the pairs together... Guad- Baer, Petey - Ferland, and the complete Bo line even though he has a bad game last night

     

    With Fanny man out we just keep our 7 D 

     

    When Brock comes back, than we have to waive/ trade Goldy, unless he makes an impact 

    seriously no way Motte , Jake, Eriksson get waived as they have all had good games , especially Eriksson.

    He actually does calm down players like Jake, Gaud, Leivo etc... He lines up well with fast aggressive forwards like Bo and Pearson last year

    He may not be the first in on the fore check , but he's smart, breaks up plays, great stick and is one of our best passers on the team as well as one of our top defensive forwards. Lord knows we need that right now...

    Fair enough. But I remember when I was in my early twenties. Did some not so proud of things while I was under the influence. Remember, not every young star in the league is a model citizen like Bo Horvat or Sidney Crosby.  

    Its just an immature thing to do, if indeed it happened. The question leafs mnmt have to ask themselves .. is he really captain material or should it go to Tavares or someone else.  Thinking he’s not ready at this point for that responsibility....

    If all players remain healthy and no trades exist the bottom 6 should play out something like this

    Eriksson, Sutter, Pearson, Beagle, with Leivo , JV , and Motte fighting for the 2 remaining spots

    Eriksson, Pearson and Sutter have been the top 3 of this bunch IMO  , but all have had their good games so far

     

    Gaudette gets sent down as a first call up because he should be in the lineup

    Schaller waived and no one will pick him up

    Goldy waived or traded (likely waived) with a 50% chance or so of getting claimed when he's included with everyone else on waiver day .  Unless he has a couple of stand out games his future is definitely in jeopardy.

    - if we lose him c'est la vie as he could still be 2nd or 3rd as a call up if he doesn't get claimed 

     

    As per usual we keep 2 extra D's in Fantenburg and Biega,

    I mean that margin is what you'd expect from a Canada vs Kazakhstan game, not a NHL team vs partial AHL team + a few NHL players team. I'm certainly not expecting our A team to outshoot their B team as badly later tonight, I'd be very glad if they did. I certainly don't think you'll think that our A team is bad if we outplay them this badly.

     

    Calgary looks impressive. 

    we had a little more push back at the end of the period so maybe the jitters are gone for the AHL'ers
