Besides when i think about Arty and KK playing together, it’s actually the responsibility of one of the forwards to recognize that the defenseman activated and cover for them.
I’m the other guy
Thanks.
I thought the sentences were kinda fully formed and correctly spelled to be “him” but wanted to be sure.

No, that would be Bill Płaczek who posts his draft rankings at https://www.lines.com/nhl/drafts/2026 Solid stuff. I’m the other guy
different wiz, metalhead. that wiz hasn’t registered here as of yet.
Thanks Gramps.
Peterborough 5, Brampton 3. Some prospect notes:
Adam Novotný Peterborough 13-Nov-07 6-1 198 LW (Wiz #8)
Has the size, speed and puck control that could land him in the top half of the first round. Very good control on rushes but a couple of times was directed to the edges. He is new to the league and will find ways to attack the net. Willing in the physical game. Plays the left side on the power play, has hard shot and good passing. Played all over last year in Czechia (different levels and international tournaments), being in one place all year should help.Colin Fitzgerald Peterborough 1-Apr-08 6-2 194 RC (Wiz #32)
Fitzgerald showed well-rounded play, good passing, and a nose for the net. Had chances several times on rushes, picked the top corner from the left side on the power play. Made some defensive plays as well. 1G, 1A in the game, 2nd star. Rated end of first round for the 2026 draft, could jump higher if able to score well. Was 48-12-16-28 with 45 PIM at Peterborough last year.Matej Stankoven Brampton 28-Feb-08 6-0 183 LC
Matej Stankoven is apparently a distant relative of Logan Stankoven per this article:
http://www.nhl.com/news/dallas-stars-logan-stankoven-family-cheering-from-slovakiaStankoven played top 6 center tonight for Brampton. Brampton is rebuilding this year as they have lost most of their top players, including Porter Martone. He has decent size and good energy, plays on the power play and shows a willingness to go to the front of the net. Drew a penalty on a rush where he got around the edge and attacked the net. Seems to have a good all-around game, and though not ranked now, could generate some draft interest if he is able to make the NA transition and score some. Could be a good bottom 6 energy line center with development. Does not look like a big scorer at this point. Was 29-15-13-28 in Slovakia U20 last year.
It resets every July 1. They have to show up at the team site in Sept to be evaluated by the team doctors. After that it is up to the GM to put them on IR or LTIR. Once they are put on LTIR, they stay there until they are healthy or July 1, whichever comes first.
???? thanks.

What I could not find was specifically whether a team can assign *regular* IR to a player who has “qualified” for LTIR for years (like Weber)

Also, since the LTIR is over, they count against the cap over the summer. This can hamper some teams with what they can do in the offseason since they can only go over the cap by 10% in the offseason.
I think Mr.G starts the year in Rockford unless Murphy is traded.
More likely Grizz will be released from his PTO with Kaiser onboard to seek employment elsewhere.
AssMan, are you comfortable with just Murphy as your only vet on defense and the rest young or straight up rookies with all having less than 100-150 NHL games with no safety net on the roster or even at RKF? … I think it’s just crazy for a club looking to be more competitive, without some crazy anchor contract vet from outside vesthe system, and a young stud goalie taking the reigns as an NHL starter for the first time in his NHL career.
I love the idea of having a solid vet who can still play on 2 of the 3 D pairings. It gives Blashil some structure every system needs and still leaves 2-3 spots open for whichever kid/prospect plays best and earns a spot. The rest go to RKF and develops.
In the NHL, Injured Reserve (IR) allows a team to fill a roster spot for a player out for at least seven days but doesn’t provide salary cap relief. Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) is for players out for at least 10 games and 24 days and provides the team with salary cap relief, allowing them to exceed the cap by the amount of the LTIR player’s salary
Hi Wiz. I found that part of the rule distinction.
What I could not find was specifically whether a team can assign *regular* IR to a player who has “qualified” for LTIR for years (like Weber)
It’s clear abuse of the spirit of the cap floor.
Like I said though, it’s the NHL so it might be allowed.
