GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

[deakka]

Imama and Aho on waivers. I think that means no mcgrorarthy in the NHL.

 

[Al Smith]

Ooooh nooooo

Opportunity knocking for Sully. Could use another savvy, veteran bottom sixer.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I could see Aho just staying up with the team and being the 8th D

Edit: Yinz are fast

No Lizotte is starting the year on IR.

They're likely starting with:

O'Connor-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Rakell
McGroarty-Eller-Puljujarvi
Beauvillier-Hayes-Acciari
Glass-Puustinen

Pettersson-Karlsson
Grzelcyk-Letang
Graves-St. Ivany
Shea

Jarry-Blomqvist

IR: Nedjelkovic, Lizotte and Ponomarev
Brunicke re-assigned to the WHL

Wow surprising, Aho is the one that ended up on waivers rather than Shea. No Puustinen on waivers though.

Not really…Shea had a better camp and he’s young…Aho sucks…wonder if this mean Brunicke made the team?

how do you figure?

I don't see a single reason to keep Brunicke up. Not enough NHL minutes to justify it.

The only way he would have stayed up was for a 9 game trial if Karlsson was hurt. But since he's healthy, I don't see why they'd keep him up. The only way that could change is if they assign St. Ivany to the AHL.

I mean maybe…it’s unusual for Sullivan to keep 14 forwards but maybe because of injuries…

Yeah, maybe..
Or JSI sits…we’ll see…I just don’t think Brunicke is going to get much playing for that totally sucky junior team lol

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Imama is on waivers, Yomama is Aho.

Thank you.

IR just opens up a roster spot and has players on it for 7 days. That's likely where Lizotte is going.

It's because they haven't had the cap space in the past few years to start the year with 14 forwards.

They started with a 22 man roster in each of 2023-2024 (12 F and 8 D), 2022-2023 (13 F and 7 D) and 2021-2022 (12 F and 8 D). Although 2021 was a bit weird with the taxi squad due to COVID.

I don’t see why you keep Shea over Aho.

Same. Was never a fan of Shea last season either tho.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Sullivan has his new Ruhwedel.

Yeah seems like they liked Aho enough to give him 2 years and even waive Ludvig first.

Flabbergasted the Isles waived Bolduc. It makes infinitely too much sense to claim him as a clear upgrade to our left side to hold out any hope we actually will.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

They sent Ludvig down first in the hopes that he would pass through waivers, kind of like they did with Zohorna a couple years ago. He didn't. That's the risk.

Aho's contract is for the league minimum. The fact that it runs two years is pretty inconsequential.

 

[Jacob]

There seem to be just too many forwards in the league. You could probably fill out a whole forward group of waiver claims that are viable NHL talent. Pelletier, Fagemo, Poulin, Engvall, etc.

So much for the Canes doing anything with Ty Smith. What an awful trade that was. Jersey got 2 2nds for Marino and we couldn't even get one for him.

Dont worry the NHL just gonna add more teams anyways.

Has anyone hired Hextall in any capacity since the Pens fired him?

 

[K Fleur]

Heard he’s an assistant manager at a Kinkos

 

[Gurglesons]

He only got one right?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

He only got one right?

Aho is on a two year deal at the league minimum.

Ty Smith has a new job.
