I am just thinking that they want to keep him in Utica to get him top pairing minutes and a big workload before moving him up. Can only be my guess, I thought Brisebois looked very ready. I just didn't really think Fantenburg did a ton to make the team, didn't really notice much of him on the ice, or in the media. I'm not sure why that wouldn't apply to AG then? Breezer did just as much, as a dman, to earn a spot as AG did, imo. I think they both would be better off playing big mins in Utica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Well I guess this plays to greens comments about assessing Gaudettes ability to play a checking role as he is now certainly going to be playing a checking role. I guess this is good news for Bo as he will now certainly get more offensive responsibility leaving the 3rd and 4th lines to grunt it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Getting rid off non playoff warrior types and unfortunately, Biega, is more awesome for me Unless they needed another IR-mainstay, like their Dcore has a few of, great management of a playoff-built roster.

If fantenburg is still injured then he has to stay with the team until he is cleared for play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they could have sent AG down, without consequence, and bought some time to find a new home for Baer and helped him save a little face. He's earned that respect, imo.

Popular Post HerrDrFunk Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2019 1 minute ago, kanucks25 said: Just getting NHL games out of a draft pick shouldn't be the goal, especially if all those games were played during a completely meaningless era that produced nothing in terms of moments, memories, accomplishments, etc. That's why it's pretty standard practice for rebuilding teams in all sports to acquire draft picks, not trade them away. Again, if you needed someone to fill the roster and play meaningless NHL games, you can find hundreds of those guys in free agency or on the waiver wire. Wasn't Baertschi seen not only as a stop gap player but also a reclamation project with upside who could step in and become a part of the top six? Because he did that for 5 seasons when he was healthy. We've now reached the point in the rebuild where there are better options for the top 6. That's all. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 6 minutes ago, HerrDrFunk said: Call me cold, but I don't think feelings should factor in to building a roster. Feelings absolutely matter, but not in the "oh, he's a nice guy, so I don't want his feelings to be hurt" sense. Feelings matter because that is what allows you to read the dressing room and understand how a new player will fit in. There are social consequences that can impact the on-ice product. There is a reason why team-bonding is like a billion-dollar corporate industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to likely be on the wing, so 3rd line with Sutter and Leivo/Virtanen, or as i'm hoping, 2nd line with Horvat and Miller. Brisebois would have been our #7, so lots of press box time. He was not better than any of our top 6 D in camp, which is a good thing for us, more than a criticism of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 3 minutes ago, Pears said: He hasn’t scored more than 35 points or 20 goals. That kind of production is replaceable. Not sure how that's relevant to this other fellow blatantly lying about what Baer brings to the table, or the fact Baer was 9th on this team in goals scored with just 26 games played. The guy is just as good if not better than everyone in our forward group outside of our big 3. It's stupid to just waive the guy and keep Eriksson who only had 2 more goals in 46 more games played. Baer is more versatile and a superior player in every facet outside of health. And you don't waive a healthy player cause you're worried he'll get injured again. Otherwise we may as well waive the walking glass door Tanev while we're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
