SOB for MVP Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Haha ya, I don't care that much, but I'm just clarifying I have maybe two older players currently playing. Not to mention SOB had 36 year old Steven Reinprecht playing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklax Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ^ I have to say, I didn't re-sign gustavson because I didn't think he wanted to be an AHL goalie seeing as how he came over and had been an nhl regular since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disaronno Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Reinprecht spent last year in the AHL anyways, he is an AHL caliber player. Age doesnt classify an NHL player. My team is mostly prospects, and most prospects arent rated to the NHL level, meaning even 4th liners can be stars in the NHL. Then there is your "farm team" Matt Gilroy, Stu Bickel, Jonas Gustavsson, Slava Voynov, Trent Hunter, Kyle Clifford, Ben Lovejoy, Adam McQuaid, Andrew Ebbett, Andrei Loktionov. If you want to compare that to Reinprecht, then by all means go ahead, but all of those players I mentioned have played in the NHL last year. Reinprechts last NHL game was Dec 27, 2010.

canucklax Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Gustavsson isn't playing, I've gone with Lehner since the halfway point of the season. Clifford + McQuaid were just recalled with the Kings being eliminated. Voynov and Lokitonov's ELC's both end after this season. With that being said, my teams consists of a few veteran players and mostly prospects. Your arguments have no relevance. I have some older players, but so do you.

SOB for MVP Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Its not age thats being questioned, its that the guys are nhl players on your farm club Gilroy-67 NHL games played in 11-12 Bickel-51 Voynov-54 Gustavson-42 Hunter-38 (32 years old) Lovejoy-34 (missed significant time with a knee injury) Loktionov-39 Left out Clifford and Mcquaid as its common practice to send down guys in that playoff situation and Ebbett since he's a marginal NHL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklax Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 So you're telling me I could have sent down Jason Demers and Ryan Wilson for my VHL AHL Playoff run? Wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not sure on their contract statuses, but guys who aren't waiver eligible can be sent down to play. It happened to PK subban IRL a year or 2 ago as well as many others (for some reason I can remember seeing the tsn article of him, but not the stuff in my calculus class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well then I guess SOB won't make the same mistake next season then will he. His strategy of loading up on prospects got his team sent packing. For those who are not including NHL experience in their farm rosters, I question their mindset in building a winning franchise. Check every team in the AHL, nearly all of them have multiple players with NHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaronno Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Some people would rather have capable prospects who can eventually play in the NHL than a championship AHL franchise filled with NHL scrubs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
