This is completely and fully in line with everything Fletcher has ever said and done. And calling that they would lust to force Anisimov into the roster over prospects was easily predictable the second he was signed to that PTO.

How is this possibly keeping the wolves at bay? It's just makes them look even more incompetent than normal.

The statement was they wanted to add Anisimov due to injuries, probably because they lack veteran centers for the young forwards.
He has helped Lycksell and Foerster in LHV, with Brooks injured, Marody moved to RW, and O"Reilly near the end, they lack centers.
Desnoyers is doing a good job but he's probably not the best choice to develop your top wing prospects right now.
Ideally, you'd want to give Frost some veteran wingers and maybe put Anisimov between Cates, Bellows, Tippett or Allison.
It's a balancing act right now, Hayes got moved to wing b/c they need his offense but his defense will take time to fix.
Laughton stays at wing b/c he's not a playmaker at center, and they don't have play making wingers (Brink will probably start in LHV come January, but he's probably not coming up until April).

They have wanted Anisimov on the team since they brought him into camp. He got hurt and rehabbed with the Phantoms. Now that he's healthy they want him up. It's as simple as that. There's no grand thought process behind any of this. As with Chuck Fletcher the simplest thought process is usually the one that they're doing.
We have all predicted this once again. It's how the organization operates currently and how they have for years. Nothing has changed.

Hayes' defense will never get fixed. He doesn't see the entire rink well enough.

Imagine defending the Hayes contract for YEARS by constantly referencing how much this team needed centers, then trying to spin said team crying for centers moving Hayes to the wing.
If Hayes needs to fix his game he can do it on the Phantoms like all the 23 year old prospects the contrarians are too afraid to call up. Don't they always tell us the NHL isn't a development leauge?

Or blaming the currently ruined cap situation on contracts the team doesn't have.
It's gotta be near the end of the line for Fletcher Defenses when this is the best that can be mustered.

So you're saying Fletcher came into a house on fire and let the flames engulf him for 4 years without trying to put it out, but added to the fire?
Isn't it essential a GM put out fires?

Anyone know why the Flyers play Toronto at 2pm on the 22nd? is that some Canddian holiday where they get the day off?

Guess this is the attempt to get Anisimov a contract.

I’m too lazy to check on the window for the Islanders to reclaim him.
Imagine if they don’t? Lol.
Edit: NYI can still reclaim him and assign him to the AHL if no one else claims him according to Charlie.

fairly certain its normal waivers rules, but if they Isles are the team that claims him they can assign him to AHL, they don't have to keep him in the NHL

Serious answer now that I've bothered to see a calendar, could be that the 24th and 25th are both on the weekend and they get Thurs/Fri off for observance. So yeah probably Canadian holiday. No clue what US Federal observance is this year, as that tends to set the trend here.
Edit: Currently Fed observance is Monday 12/26, but don't be shocked if Friday gets added too.
Edit 2: Looks like Canadian observed dates for Christmas and Boxing Day are the 26th and 27th so I no longer know what's going on here

About time. Holy f***. I don’t think I have ever seen a guy screw up a “second chance” by being so utterly useless in all aspects of the game. Also, lol at the Isles fans that came on here to tell us the Isles were making a huge mistake in losing him on waivers. It appears they knew exactly what they were doing.

Dude f*** this guy. There’s no f***ing way this pos actually believes this team can make it. He’s literally clinging onto "injuries" as the reason for them being bad. Mfer is praying for Atkinson, tk, couts, jvr to save his ass

You just know Fletcher fully believes the "anything can happen if you just make the playoffs!" narrative so merely fighting for a spot is enough to trigger him to be a buyer. Never mind that those Cinderella stories always collapse, and then seem to collapse harder the next year.
