And there’s more than enough in Benning’s direct quotes to support that line of reporting, and still stay on the right side legally and ethically. Honestly, I’ve been more surprised by the restraint shown by the local media, when it comes to this story. Maybe they know something we don't know.........

His actions speak louder than anything else could. Character fellow. I wish him well. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 If true man he would be a huge boost to have back in the lineup soon. I like Burroughs though in what he has done with his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamonic is a bit more physical but I'd really hate to lose Burroughs on waivers, he'd get picked for sure based on his start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Burroughs; send down Hunt or Schenn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn and Burroughs are a nice 7/8 until injuries occur, both righties though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would send down one of our 7/8 guys in Schenn/Hunt (probably Hunt). I'd assume that either Hamonic or Poolman would play with Hughes and I'd be interested to try the other one of those two with Rathbone. That said, I feel like Burroughs has been better than Rathbone so far, so that might provide a conundrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn might as well be in Abby its not like he's going to get any time, and we're at home for a long time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would probably improve his game in Abby and would be available to come back to the Nucks if/when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rathbone plays, do we scratch Burroughs as our 7th and have Hunt then as our 8th? I'm not sure I'd scratch Burroughs, but maybe that's what we do.

I guess thats the option? its sort of too bad, but depth is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 So, utilizing the remaining LTIR + Schenn's $, that would cover Hamm's salary. Only problem is when Motte is due back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not sure how you move either Myers or Poolman from where they have been playing. Hamonic in with Rathbone and Burroughs out probably makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked good with Hughes late last season, so we can do Hughes-Hamonic and move Poolman down with Rathbone. Or we can just put Hamonic with Rathbone and see how that pairing works. This gives me a lot more confidence with the group with Hamonic back, not gonna lie. We have too many offensive minded defemseman on the team and we need these defensive defenseman covering for them.
