It's the correct decision to send down Brunicke, there's not enough ice time to justify keeping him up for a 9 game trial. He's still super young and has room to grow in juniors.
When you have a history of drafting the players we did for decades in the 2nd round from like 93-2017, it’s easy to forget you can find good players there.It means for the last 15 years everyone on here has said moving 2nd round picks was inconsequential and now suddenly they are the “key” to our rebuild.
You're fighting those imaginary phantoms again if you think people think 2nds and 3rds are essential to a rebuild. But hey, go nuts.It means people didn't hardly care at all about 2nd and 3rd round picks this time last year. Now they are essential for the rebuild.
Anyway it's just a matter of a difference in philosophy and what you'd prefer to see from the team. You guys are bangin' the desk for the rebuild and I don't much care for doing borderline Coyotes stuff while Sid is still a player. Don't much care to go over all that, again.
Shit man, this place was ready to give the pick they took Yager with away for anything that wasn't nailed down cuz it was worthless. This place (myself included) is f***ing schizo.

In the past Sullivan has plugged in the 13th forward for injuries to not break up other lines. Beau is for sure being scratched once Rust is back. He might eventually get a spot if McGroat needs AHL time
I could be wrong, but I think because Nieto ended the year on LTIR he can open the season on LTIR and they don't have to have him on the roster for a day.I wonder if McGroarty gets sent down today so we are compliant and then comes back up Wednesday.
It's just better than signing a bad UFA for nothing.Right I keep forgetting we care about those. Now.

You asked for an explanation and I provided one. My thought is simply that I do not agree with taking on players with problematic contracts for the pleasure of draft picks that have a like 10% hit rate or whatever. I don't think that's unreasonable.
Yeah, I mean, I'm just so beaten down by Sullivan/JR/Hextall/Dubas running this team for almost a decade that I'm at the point where it's fine trading for a Cody Glass or Kevin Hayes and getting some lotto tickets for taking 'em instead of signing Brock McGinn for four years.It's just better than signing a bad UFA for nothing.
Shame. I hope he has an amazing year in WHL. Really did great as a 18 year old D.
2nd rounders have a 13% chance of hitting 100 games. Collect enough and hope one of them hits.
3rd rounders at 10%.
We need scratch off tickets to add to the 1sts and some of those scratch off tickets need to hit.
Adding a 2nd + 2 3rds is like a 33% chance we get a NHLer out of that.
Harrison Brunicke was a 2nd rounder and has potential to be an NHLer we need more of that.
Dallas Stars - hit on the scratch offs and are a great team.
I remember Ryan Stone very well because Loui Eriksson was taken right after him and prior to his debauchery in Vancouver, I wanted him on Sid's RW. So many what-ifs in the draft that make me wonder. Toews/Backstrom/Kessel over Staal. Literally anyone over Pouliot. One of my favorite "whews" is Michael Gergen. Lol, if you want a trip down draft PTSD lane, look him up.When you have a history of drafting the players we did for decades in the 2nd round from like 93-2017, it’s easy to forget you can find good players there.
Long live Ryan Stone.
Yeah this is where I get nervous. If they send McG back to WBS (which I am ultimately fine with) AND Rust comes back, it's a complete reworking of the lines. Your last 1-2 games in pre-season should be solidifying your lineup for the first couple of games.In the past Sullivan has plugged in the 13th forward for injuries to not break up other lines. Beau is for sure being scratched once Rust is back. He might eventually get a spot if McGroat needs AHL time
Ditching Eller would seal a playoff miss imo. PK and L3 defending would suffer. I think Eller can score at a better clip than last year too, with these improved linemates.Yeah the cap hit of the 4th line is meaningless. When you have the top 6 is locked in as it is, other lines cap distribution is a red herring for discussing cap management.
The only thing I wish, was they could find a way to ditch ONE of Eller, Acciari, or Hayes or potentially even Glass. My logic being that it would allow us to have 1-2 extra guys in the lineup just for the sake of being able to rotate guys in and out.
