Sophomore Jinx Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 8 minutes ago, Diamonds said: He's actually ended up putting together a pretty respectable career. 360 games as a 7/8 defenseman. He almost reached 400 games to secure pension money (I'm probably 3 or 4 CBAs behind HAHA, but that used to be the number, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I feel like Kovacevic or Samorukov would be good waiver pickups. The latter is what I believe to be projectable NHL player. I watched him in play at the World Juniors in Vancouver and absolutely loved what I saw. He had a shot with the Oilers last year but Tippet did him pretty dirty in that game vs. the Blues, I thought. And unsurprisingly, there isn't a lot of room on that Oilers blueline. He may be worth a look, and we're pretty desperate... Edited October 7, 2022 by Herberts Vasiljevs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who has earned 10 full years of benefits will have earned the maximum benefit payable by law. Full Service: You've been in the league for ten years and have received 82 games per season for pension purposes. If you reach this threshold, you will receive the maximum pension benefit, currently $255,000 per year. Partial Service: You've spent time with the big club, but also in the minors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As often as he was hurt, he was always good as new when he came back, with the exception of when he played the game after he ruptured a testicle. Salo was a hell of a dman. I have Ohlund as the best ever. Salo, Jovo, Hughes all tied for second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I really want us to claim Kovacevic. Right side D. Big boy (6”4) plays a defensive game and has always been a plus player since playing professional hockey. Has been the Moose’s best defenseman the last two years. Come on this is exactly the type of D we need to stay home and let our smooth skating left side do their rover game. Make the claim PA.

cripplereh Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 There are two young rhd here that we can afford.I do hope we can grab one that might stay and grow with the team.We do have 3 young rhd that in two or 3 years should be on the team but until then grab one can always waiver them again.

The King of Kings Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 16 hours ago, rekker said: Hmmm, Kovacevic is interesting, with Myers out for two to three weeks. Big right side Dman. There is no point to pick up another RHD from Winnipeg when fans are all over Myers and Poolman already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
