What does this GM decide to do, keep older more useless offensive players in Schaller and Eriksson. Neither add grit, neither add more scoring and to say we kept them for better PK or defensive play is a joke and the wrong thing to do!

Might as well throw the towel in on the season because we waived an injury prone winger who’s topped out at 35 points. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 LE will be sitting in press box while Baer will be getting much needed ice time in Utica. No point having Baer sit in box as top 2 lines are set. First call up for top 6 injury. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, he is a cancer to any locker room. HARD PASS. Baertschi deserves a spot many times over before Ho Sang does. Besides, he doesn't even fit the character mould that Benning wants. Ho-Sang and Goldy skill wise are about the same, but Ho-Sang is twice the headache. That guy wouldn't last one practice here with Travis Green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is funny the amount of fans that just blindly agree with all of Bennings moves, yet yesterday I didnt see one person suggest we should waive Baertchi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm not even mad at the decisions at all, i just expected that list to be a little longer. My waive list is Schaller, Eriksson, Biega and Goldobin. Beartschi on waivers came was a surprise but i get the managements decision. best case scenario was Schaller gets picked up, Eriksson refuses to report to Utica (we terminate his contract lol), Biega (meh, we have Rafferty and Juolevi ahead of him in a call up imo), Goldy whatevs... Schaller had a better showing but i think MacEwen had a better preseason and has shown chemistry with Gaudette... a 4th line of Gaudette - Beagle - MacEwen could've been something... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is a slight risk for a team, but if you want offensive depth you claim him if you have the room. Sven Bo JT- This line has a much better balance too it with a more creative Sven on the wing vs Pearson in my opinion. I hope he clears so we can keep him, has there been a press conference but the DimWit GM or coach to explain how Sven got beat out by Schaller or Loui. Or a reason to explain how we dont want more offensive players in the lineup, considering we have always been a team with poor depth scoring. Bumping Sven to a 3rd line role might have freed him up against another teams bottom 6 and he could have excelled with Gaud. Mistake by us, losing my faith even more in how this team is run. Absolute garbage to think Schaller or Loui are more valuable to our team than Sven...its not even close imo!

No point having Baer sit in box as top 2 lines are set. First call up for top 6 injury. Last I checked NHL teams ice 4 forward lines, many teams ice 3 more offensively minded lines with 1 more shutdown line. No Forward left on our roster has more offensive skill to play on that 3rd line than Sven. Its just a bad move, I won't drop it. The choices to keep the 2 bums is ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make me a Benning bro? This forum has a blind support for any decision that Benning makes. It's as glaringly obvious to anyone with with a neutral eye as the vitriolic hate that spews from HFBoards is. Before this happened, nobody had even discussed the idea of waiving Baertschi because it seemed unfathomable. Now that it's happened, and those of us that don't conform to the "Everything is awesome" groupthink mentality that overwhelms these boards are voicing our displeasure with the move, the "bros" are out in full force defending a move that, just a week ago, most of them likely would have been waving their hand at. 1 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
