SingleThorn Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I assume ( you should never assume ! ) that PTOs count towards veteran slots. With Leighton and Schenn headed Utica way, they have 7 ( or more ? ) veterans. The choice of which 5 will play will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalies don't count against the veteran limit and it's only a limit on the number dressed each game and not a limit on the roster. Hamilton is hurt again and Bancks left the ice in the final minute last night doubled over in pain after blocking a shot. Injuries always find a way of taking care of the veteran issue in the long run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Schenn should be useful to Utica, apparently he's played well at the AHL level? I'll be surprised if he plays a single game for the Nucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kero has played well and deserved the call up if true. Just not sure what the reason for it is with Pettersson about to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing either there is an injury up front (horvat maybe?) or this is just insurance In case pettersson is not ready to go tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 So glad that things seem to be coming together for the Comets. The org has taken a lot of criticism during the season. They seem to be sticking to their process and have added some pieces for a serious Calder run. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Those highlights are what most of us envisioned before the start of the season. I'm glad to see the young stars are coming along now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomatoPieFan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 By Ben Birnell Thursday Posted at 12:53 AM The Utica Comets just got some help on defense. In an unexpected late-night trade, the parent Vancouver Canucks acquired defenseman Luke Schenn from Anaheim for Michael Del Zotto and a 2020 seventh round draft pick. Schenn will report directly to the Comets, the Canucks said in a release. The trade was announced just before 1 a.m. Thursday Eastern Time. In the 29-year-old Shenn -- who has more than 700 games of NHL experience -- the Comets get a boost with an experienced player on the blue line which has been hit hard by injuries this season. Jalen Chatfield and Ashton Sautner are working their way back from extended injury absences. Olli Juolevi is out for the season after knee surgery. Schenn has spent most of the season with the AHL’s San Diego Gulls, totaling 10 points in 22 games. The former fifth overall pick has played for NHL teams in Toronto, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Arizona. Schenn is making $800,000 this season. The Comets -- who are 6-1-1-0 in the last eight games -- technically moved into first place in the North Division following a 5-4 win over Syracuse on Wednesday. The Comets have five games in hand on Rochester, who are also in the top spot in the division. The move involving Schenn means the Canucks won’t have to assign any players to Utica to get to a 23-man roster after Elias Pettersson returns from a a recent injury. The Comets have a pair of defensemen on professional tryout contracts in internet sensation Colton Saucerman and Cliff Watson. The move also gives the Comets an abundance of players who are considered veterans under AHL rules. Schenn joins defenseman Jaime Sifers and forwards Carter Bancks, Wacey Hamilton, Tom Pyatt and Reid Boucher. Teams are allowed to play five veterans in a game. Utica continues a five-game homestand Friday against Binghamton. Utica also takes on Belleville on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I understand the math. We can advocate for a lottery expansion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
