I need to brush up on it. keeping him up a while should shuffle who’s claiming but the player will need waivers none the less to be sent down. If it’s a decent pick up, they most likely lose him. I’m sure they talked out the scenarios to death.

Looking at our roster and depth, a Sunday pick up should be able to beat out a number of both exempt and none. It’s that bad.

I stated earlier in the threads I think they go for a goalie. I also hear they are considering keeping up 3 goalies when Demko returns. That would support my instincts on what they are looking for on the wire. Of course, maybe something juicy trumps that.

It also depends on who gets worse. Example, Flames are aging and on the way down and already considered near as bad as the Canucks. The future outlook presently for the Canucks is better. Who else falls over the next 2 seasons? It’s only upward for the Canucks eventually.

Sunday is the big waiver wire day. Monday is roster set. Sunday is probably the day they claim.

Remember, the player has to be able to stick on the NHL roster and bump someone. If they try and send him down, the team that lost him gets first claim on him… and the 1st claim status would be completely wasted.

Bad time to be expecting mass new fans to the game. Many wont be able to afford going to games, viewership subscriptions, merch, travel, and the inflation in the market to pay these spoiled fucks the doubling of their salaries… it’s a recipe for disaster and they are pushing expansion? Idiots.

Without obtaining another 1st or early 2nd, after we pick with the 1st, SJ and Dallas are in control of where our next 2 picks will be in the 2nd round. That’s going to be a pretty long gap between 1st and our next pick…. they need to make this 1st a home run. Might not see top 3 again after that. Going to be harder to find star power in the draft.

Yeah, Mancini is a disaster out there. A shame… so big and mobile. He should have focused on being a forward earlier in his career. Maybe he would have a shot in the NHL then.

Going to be a turtle race with Calgary for last I think. I think we win the race but it will be a little closer than people think.

Now we know. He’s on his way back to the Petes.

Todays cuts…

Ty Mueller, Riley Patterson, Ilya Safonov, Chase Wouters, Kirill Kudryavtsev, and Sawyer Mynio have all been assigned to AHL Abbotsford. Ben Berard and Isaac Belliveau were released from their PTOs and will report to AHL Abbotsford. Trey Fix-Wolansky, Cole Clayton, and Jimmy Schuldt have been placed on waivers for AHL assignment. The following four prospects have been assigned to their respective junior teams: Yaroslav Bryzgalov (Medicine Hat Tigers), Adam Novotný (Peteborough Petes), Brooks Rogowski (Oshawa Generals), and Aleksei Medvedev (London Knights).

Of the junior group of players, only Cootes remains and we all know he’s going pro one way or the other.

Novontny back to junior definitely the right choice. He’s going to dominate I hope. We may see him at season end in Van or Abby.

He didnt look like a standout in his preseason game. He had his decent moments, but also had his struggles. I think they will give him all 4 to get it right.

It’s nice that he doesn’t mess up the 1x19yo rule for the AHL. He’s technically a pro player being lent to the Petes by his European club.
