Jester13 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I understand that this is a business, but I feel this is a classless move by Philly. They know we traded for Mckenna, who is not good enough to stick in the NHL, in order to fill the hole in Utica. I can see if we tried to slide a goalie with lots of upside down to the AHL, but McKenna is not an up-and-comer. Oh well, life goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's classless at all. We knew the risks and rolled the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Unexpected, but thats how it goes. Feel for the guy. He seems like he’s okay with moving around, but one would assume he’d like some safety and settle down a bit after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports 3m3 minutes ago For those asking, Demko is not going back to Utica. The Comets don't play tonight, Kulbakov is the only goalie for the Comets. Utica has 3 goalies with affiliate in Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Mike McKenna keeps drawing on that 700k NHL salary. Much better than 175k AHL version ! With retirement lurking in the wings, I'm pretty sure he's happy with how this season is unfolding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Meh, at worst Utica needs to sign or trade for another AHL level goalie. Otherwise Utica can just call up a goalie from Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo can just slap some pads on a hobo to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Once more I prove I know FA about goaltenders. I reckoned my Grandma would have been picked in goal before this guy - oh well good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did we even do this trade. We could have or even should have done that with Nillson. But at least we a got a draft pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 That’s a desperate Philadelphia GM. The Curse of the Fat Lady Singing “The Anthem” has brought goalie “woes” since Plante and Parent retired. The Flyers would have claimed this guy if we waived him..

smokes Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Please, I am sure you can probably get Lack back for futures. Get him back and put him on the Comets. Help get his career straight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Anyone else notice the nervous multiple blinking McKenna does at quite short intervals. What happens if his eyes are closed when the puck is shot at him? Is this why he never made it in the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
