JM_ Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Pateryn is an interesting thought, but after watching new-Burr for 2 games I'm not sure we need to. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTramFan Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I would pick up Derek Grant. We do have the cap space and I think we need the bottom 6 depth and toughness that he could bring. Just waive Petan and Dowling to give a total of $1.5m in cap space. This reduces our forward roster to 12 players but my understanding is that Boeser is very close to returning, so he can be activated to bring our forward lineup to 13 men, with no impact on cap hit. Once Motte returns to the roster (again no additional cap hit since he is on IR) we waive Highmore or Chiasson, which then gives us an additional $725-750k of cap space and our forward lineup becomes: Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Garland Hoglander Dickinson Podkolzin Motte Grant Lammikko (Chiasson/Highmore) Edit: And none of those moves require us to reduce our D corps to 7 players, which as has been noted, could also be done.

I still disagree; he's decent at the AHL level but he's absolutely useless on the big club. Another Megna/Ebbett. I want him gone by any means necessary, especially if we can get an actual NHLer instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiasson is a space holder imo, no problem waiving him when others return. Losing Highmore wouldn't be too bad either. Our depth is a lot better than I remember it being. Regardless I probably wouldn't bother picking up either of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t we just send down Dowling and Petan? Id actually be surprised if Benning doesn’t claim Grant. Seems to be exactly the type of player has collected over the last 7 years. Only thing that might keep him away is that he’s signed another year. Even then he’s a good bottom 6 replacement for Sutter next season at the very least.

D-Money Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Grant was a decent depth player in his late 20’s. But he’s in his early 30’s now, and might not be living up to the salary. Don’t see any other reason why Anaheim would waive him (except to help facilitate a potential Eichel trade). Pateryn…meh. I’ve liked Burroughs so far.

RWJC Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Grant’s from Abbotsford. Might be a good pickup for either of our clubs (if he was to clear later for Abby). Also has never been below 51% on FOW for his entire career. Not too shabby. Edited October 17, 2021 by RWJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
