Noseforthenet Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nobodies on the move. Sauve is being recalled to be a number 8 D-man, and we're moving one of our D to play bottom 6. Pretty simple. In favour of playing Booth? That would be quite odd. Unless someone else is coming back from injury. It just doesn't look that simple. Could be wrong, but Booth is still a better option in the middle 6 than any of our defensemen we could dress in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or Torts and Booth have some serious problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Not with that contract. It's essentially a wash with Booth's though. I only mention him because I don' think he's fitting well in Dallas and he seems a Torts type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 3 injured forwards and another who was just a healthy scratch, so we add a 9th D? Doesn't make any sense to me and I really hope that isn't Torts' logic. Unless they're just counting on getting through NJ tomorrow and Burrows is back Friday, but it really seems unlikely. I'm not one to usually jump to trade speculations over minor moves, but this all seems too weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Hard Truth Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 maybe Torts is gonna move Bieksa to the wing? Bieksa's in beast mode. Sedin-Sedin-Bieksa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only mention him because I don' think he's fitting well in Dallas and he seems a Torts type player. I was just gonna post that. Same position, same amount of points. But all that to dump 350k of salary in a good price on a 7th dman like Alberts? There would have to be more at play, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Well why not just call up a forward........ to play a forwards position then? makes absolutely no sense to call up a defenceman when were down 3 forwards... I don't think any of our forwards are ready to be honest.

TheNorwegianCanuck Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Vigneault liked Alberts, and Torts hasn't brought a Ranger here yet.....just a guess Zuccarello? As a fellow Norwegian it would be fun to see him in a Canucks jersey, but his play is far to inconsistent to make some kind of a impact. I don´t think he would do much good..

DeNiro Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Alberts played 37 seconds last game. Switch him and Weber in your line up and maybe.... Which is why he would be used as a forward. Clearly Torts doesn't like him on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It's about time they gave Sauve a shot! I've been waiting for years! He has top 4 potential. He has size and speed to burn but its his hockey IQ that needs to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 There is definitely something happening, though I don't think it's involving Sauve. It's hard for another GM to get excited about a guy like Sauve, who couldn't even crack the Wolves last year. Yes, he's big and physical but the last few season show halted development, playing minimal time, and lengthy stretches of injuries. I have to think Alberts is getting moved or waived, the same could be said for Booth, though in either scenario a defenseman call up seems unlikely considering our forward situation right now. Something is going on, and hopefully it's big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald has been mentioned for 4th/3rd line duty before, same with Hamill, and Ferreiro has NHL experience from SJS and NYR. None are ready from what I've seen. Hamill and Fereiro have been average. Plus I don't think they want to recall players that will need waivers to be sent back. Archibald has been improving, but I think they wanna leave him in the AHL a full season to develop. No need to risk messing up a good thing with him right now. Who knows, maybe Burrows is closer than anyone thought and will slot in tomorrow. Torts doesn't seem to waste any time getting players back in based on what we saw with Booth and Schroeder. If Burrows was good enough to practice, he might be good enough to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
