AV. Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Not really a great player and certainly not a huge loss but you just know that if $&!# hits the fan for us this season, the GM will be citing this, Gadjovich, and Lind as "hits to the depth" like he always does. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck-lifer Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 He didn't have a great camp so not too busted up over this. We absolutely needed all hands on desk for the PK so Highmore and company should stay. I'm sure we can pick another grinder/ fighter off off of waivers if need be.

HorvatToBaertschi Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 2 things here; successful teams lose players because of depth. I'm glad we have that problem and not the problems we had 4 years ago MacEwen became very underrated during this training camp. He was a terrific 4th liner / 13th forward, young, strong, and could actually keep up with the play. We will miss him I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Kinda reminds me of when we lost Volpatti to the caps via waivers. Solid fighter but it’s unfortunate he couldn’t come up with a better preseason... Looked great two years ago... I guess Bo is our best fighter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "hits to the depth", I can only assume at this point you mean cheap shots and body checks to our players where this roster has zero ability to push back.

Smashian Kassian Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I do think MacEwen brings some 'toughness' that we could use. Just sucks his game has fallen off so much, was an obvious cut. Best of luck to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Meh... Sh!t happens. Wish him well, but he was fringe here. Would have liked to see him land in Abbotsford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Really like this player, and hope he succeeds in Philly. I see him having to bop with a couple heavy hitters in that division and don't know if he's up to that challenge. If he can handle himself against Reeves and the idiot from Washington, then he will have a long career. If not, then he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therodigy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Best of luck to MacEwen. He would've been useful in Abbotsford, but happy to see him still playing in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Green should've waived Macewen first before Gadj. If we're gonna lose Gadj who was a good player - showed much better than Macewen, then so be it. If Mac had cleared, then we would have been stuck with him in the AHL. I'm not really on the 'toughness' train, but it's hard to argue that these roster decisions by Green are solid. We do lack toughness in the lineup. The fact that Chiasson got a spot instead of Gadj speaks volumes about Green's doghouse. Edited October 13, 2021 by Dazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Fighting has a place, albeit a much smaller place than it used to, but if you're going to be more than a fringe bottom six guy you're going to need to either be part of special teams or produce complimentary offense. Zack did neither of those things last season. If we want players who can come up to forecheck and hit we've got players who can do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean that if we happen to be in a losing position at a crucial point of the season where playoffs are in jeopardy, he'll start citing injuries and lack of depth (i.e losing these players) as excuses.
