But what happens when Ferland and Leivo are healthy? With Loui’s resurgence its going to be a difficult decision. The obvious choices other than Schaller are Motte and/or Beagle but they are both contributing to the current success. Thoughts? I think Leivo is down until somewhere around March. I think Ferland is at least 2 - 3 weeks out (might be wrong, concussions are tricky, especially for Ferland). That means, plenty of time for Sutter or someone else to wind up injured to make room for them. Unfortunately, it ALWAYS happens lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I don't think we can even think about these two returning anytime soon. Ferland may end up retiring. Or at least taking the whole season off. With Leivo, a knee injury like that takes time not only to heal, but to get back into game shape and confidence playing. They should remain on LIR until after the TDL. Partly for reasons of making sure they are 100%, partly because we can use the cap retrieval money at the TDL. We will need them more for the final run and playoffs. And have some extra cash to spend at the TDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Ferland should consider retiring. His head just seems not strong enough now moving forward. A hit / facepuncher that has a fragile head. No thanks. Really think he should think about staying on medical leave and consider retiring eventually. Not worth risking his brain or long term health.

Johnny Torts Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Ferland needs a lot of rest. He can sit until he’s effectively playing his style again. Loui has had a very good stretch. I wonder if hes playing better because the team as a whole is competitive again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Boeser with Horvat and would give this a try: Miller Pettersson Virtanen Pearson Horvat Boeser Sutter Gaudette Erickson Roussel Beagle Motte Seems like Roussel, Motte and Gaudette just plain refuse to be sent to the press box although they are probably the most obvious candidates, along with Erickson, to sit if Leivo and Ferland come back strong. Selfishly I would like to see them send Ferland and Leivo to Utica for a conditioning stint so I can see how they look. Give Justin Bailey a chance to have a cup of coffee with the big club. Then after a couple of games put Ferland in Erickson's spot. Give Leivo a shot in Roussel's spot to start with.

If we picked up Schenn in the minors in a trade he wouldn't count and then we can call him up after the deadline whenever if and when injuries hit.

I'm not disagreeing but ouch we'd probably lead the league in most cap space spent on healthy scratches. Don't forget Benn has been scratched lately too.

combover Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Easy schaller and eriksson. do we even have the cap space to have those guys come of the IR. I’m not even sure we have roster space so who do we send down and are the waiver eligible? Levio and ferland when heathy are upgrades over LE and Schaller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be an issue after the deadline unless they both come back prior to it. Might have to waive Eriksson/Schaller for roster reasons.

NexusRift Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Must be my age. I forgot about these two. At the present and the past few games, we didn't miss 'em. That being said. Schaller and LE? Fantenburg in for Benn? Plus the call ups from the farm? I guess that bodes well for our depth. To be honest, I don't know who should sit when both those guys return. Levio makes us better, and I'm iffy on Ferland. I was high on the Ferland's acquisition, but so far he's been a dud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Eriksson and one of Schaller/Sutter Keep the Gaud/JV connection together, and hope that Ferkland can find chemistry with Bo... and still play gritty hockey Might need to look at trading Sutter or Beagle with our cap space, as it seems Baertchi and Loui are harder to trade than herpes Edited January 21, 2020 by Davathor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmautzie Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I guess we’ll find out the answer to who is the first to sit after Schaller very soon. Ferland is apparently expected back after the all-star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
