Canuck Surfer Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Maybe with Brisbois sent down. Fantenburg hurt? We will be picking up a D man by trade / waivers. People have mentioned Forsling, Schenn. I'd be picking up Christian Djoos. Who played 22 play off games in Washington's cup run... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is that some weird idea about "clearly defined roles for lines" is what's going on here. If you look at the 12 guys who are on relatively set lines -- according to the most recent practice -- the fourth line has Beagle, Motte and Schaller on it. Basically the same line as last year that was pretty much incapable of scoring. And because Baertschi is not in the lineup, I think the 3rd line suffers too. I'm not convinced that Pearson is top 6 material or even top-9. He has not been great for two seasons now. On the other hand, if Baertschi is still recovering from his injury, this makes a lot of sense: sneak him through and build him back up in Utica, then bring him up later. Because you are right: there will be no problem sending Motte or Eriksson or even Schaller down at any point. Edmonton doesn't have the cap space, they would have to restructure to make it work. There are very few teams with the roster space and cap space to claim him. I don't disagree with you about Pearson but they seem to have him locked in on the 2nd line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think Baer is finished. That development space is more important -- remember how Gagner got farmed out pretty quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the cap stuff on Capfriendly… lol you are right: Edmonton is as up the creek as we are. How they can spend that money for that team is incredible.

Popular Post ktcy2 Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2019 I am cancelling my game tickets and asking for a refund. Schaller in the lineup literally makes garbage sense. JB talked about “fit”, as if the 4th line is very important. Oh, let’s only be get players that can’t skate, can’t score, can’t make plays to play the bottom 6 because “fit”. LOL, such a joke. Baertschi is a 20 goal scorer and Schaller is a career loser. WTH this is even to a point that’s illogical. So mad at these stupid people making decisions 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 If someone claims Baer, & when Schaller is done at end-season, there's 5.2 mill AAV space, up front. With perhaps only Markstrom & AG to sign, next 2 yrs are cap-kosher. We only have ONE more season of Lu's recapture penalty, where JB has to limbo gracefully under the cap bar. Finally adding size, & getting the books in order(key as the season brings trade-opportunities, & inevitable injuries). This lineup will be easier to adjust(if necc) at the fringes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcy2 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I have been supportive of JB’s moves all along until today. Sending down a top 9 winger with 20 goal potential for a bunch of nobodies/have beens/ useless garbage is very smart. Just too smart for an average human being to understand.

Or is our GM covering for our Owner insisting that LE stays on the big club? If LE was so valuable as a shut down player and PK guy, why is he not in opening night?
