They are still capped out. Once Roussel comes back they cannot replace an injured player unless they put a player on LTIR. Years ago Calgary had to play short handed because of a similar situation. And this is good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap out Leivo for Granlund to add size and some skill. Motte was excellent last season. Schaller actually finished the year strong last season and got himself back to his points pace in his last year in Boston. Sven didn't fit the bottom 6 unless we were going to have a scoring 3rd line, but that doesn't necessarily make our bottom 6 better because it simply forces a line that needs more sheltering. Right now LE isn't in the bottom 6 like he was last year and we have Gaudette that we can plug in at a moment's notice. So if healthy, it looks like a decent bottom 6 to start. I would have loved a scoring third line, need secondary scoring to win hockey games. Sven - Sutter - Gaudette would have been pretty responsible defensively. Sven is not like Goldobin defensively.

Honestly, it'll just be easier to block you or whatever. Not interested in dealing with your whiny little know it all attitude. Had a decent discussion going and you started crying cause I laughed at your "if health is okay Roussel is guaranteed 3rd line spot" but nobody uses the "if healthy" side for why Baer would be a better 3rd line option. Boo hoo somebody doesn't agree with every little thing I say and he laughed. Such a childish guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which teams would get the first few cracks at Baer? I don't see him getting past EDM if he gets that far. Standings at the end of last season until 1 November, where the actual standings then take over. So Ottawa LA NJD Detroit Buffalo NYR Edmonton Anaheim (Vancouver) Philadelphia etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roussel has massive value on the ice , not only for points but that grit and burrows like behaviour . Hope Sven can be the first call up if he slips thru the waiver wire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I like Sven Baertschi as a person, and he's definitely NHL-calibre... but people are actually upset about this? This is where we stand as an organization, we have to make 'difficult' decisions for the betterment of the team. I don't get Schaller in the lineup, he is straight up not very good (despite some hustle and not being much of a liability). But it would be an easy swap between him and Rousell when Antoine is ready to go. As for Goldobin, good riddance.

Warhippy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Tom Sestito said: @Warhippy this was the original post i responded to, which you were supposed to quote. Again, I will repeat that I don't know why you're trying to create a strawman. The Baertschi trade is one of Benning's most favorable moves among the fanbase. So, the strawman you've created is not representative of the fanbase opinion. Again, I will repeat that you do this continuously where you come into threads that are debating a questionable move and make a post like the above. It just seems as if you don't have an argument to be made about the move so you want to indirectly mock everyone who disagrees with it. Can you provide any insight into the move so there's something tangible to go off of? Incorrect. You claimed I was calling people dumb. You made other claims as well. That is neither a straw man nor an argument. That is a statement made regarding the feelings then vs now. I owe you nothing as you insinuated numerous things from my very simple statement without provocation or need to do so. Here's the Baertschi trade thread Here's my actual comment from that trade. Again tell me about how my statement is wrong, or how I'm questioning people's intelligence or calling them dumb in this thread or the original. For what it's worth, I don't feel either way about this. He has little spot here in Vancouver. Is at risk of another concussion and will probably never be more than he was here on any other team in the league. the team has evolved and moved on and somehow someway he is not part of it. I feel he earned his spot but the management group feels that somehow eriksson is more deserving of a roster spot. It is what it is Edited September 30, 2019 by Warhippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhorvat Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Everyone relax Baerschi was prob only a few games away from getting concussed again. With all the injuries hes had hes just to fragile. I bet he will clear waivers. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Clearly they don’t think he’s NHL ready... I doubt he gets claimed. He’ll start in Utica... and be fantastic depth for us if he finds his game. Sounds like Ike they don’t like him as a bottom 6er being that the physicality isn’t there. Shocked it’s Sven and not Loui... but also not. LE plays both wings and kills penalties... but I don’t think he’s in the opening night lineup either Edited September 30, 2019 by 70seven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Every single remaining member of this team knows what each of the waived guys meant to the team and each other. I expect those that remain to play their hearts out for those who were left behind. And I expect of those remaining who dog it, and there will be a few, to be treated in the same way moving forward. We fans just want some consistency in reasoning and management living up to their word. And management's words so far were just nebulous enough that the fans have put up 32 pages of confused reactions so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's going to PK if we kept Sven over Schaller? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
