That Pavelski, such a Chad.

You can. You can also assign them to the AHL before passing through waivers for the purposes of being roster compliant, iirc."No" based on what. You can even waive a player and then dress them the same night, how're you going to do that if they're not on the roster.

Friday: The Utah Hockey Club has winger Kailer Yamamoto on waivers today for the purposes of assignment to AHL Tucson, the team announced. After he clears or is claimed tomorrow, they’ll have an open roster spot to activate center Nick Bjugstad from injured reserve, per Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports.
Saturday: Yamamoto has cleared waivers, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports. The team announced he has been sent to Tucson.
Yeah, I was okay with it at first, but I've come around now--with Celebrini coming back and thus more top-6 depth--to thinking it's just not the right fit for Smith to play with two grinders. He's just too much of a possession player and those guys are just not very good at that--nor, as Jux pointed out, do they have the offensive IQ to play off of him in the way that would allow him to thrive.I get the reasoning behind Goodrow and Kunin with Smith even though I don’t like it. The first 7 games Smith didn’t just look bad he couldn’t touch the puck. At this point the D are not capable of consistently breaking the puck out to the C so Smith needs puck hounds so he can get possession of the puck. He is not strong enough to gain possession without Goodrow or Kunin. More than players to connect plays with Smith he needs to get the puck on his stick to learn anything in the NHL.
Now hopefully Liljegren can help the D be more effective on the breakout. Ideally Eklund would be on Smiths wing but Eklund is ideal on every C’s wing and should be above 3rd line.
I’m ok with a few games with Goodrow and Kunin as Smiths wings if it gets him pick touches he needs to adjust to the pace of play. It just better not be a long term plan. I would also like to potentially switch Wennberg and Smith after a few games because Wklund and Zetterlund would be great wings for Smith.
I think Celebrini should go to the AHL for the rest of the season, no need to rush him back.
You're probably right but I could've sworn I've seen it before.I don't want to keep going on about this (probably not an interesting topic for most people), but no, not like that. Let me use this article as an example:
Kailer Yamamoto Clears Waivers, Utah Expected To Activate Nick Bjugstad

Yamamoto doesn't just move to Tucson when put on waivers, he has to clear first.
All I'm saying is that we're likely to use a paper transaction (or just an outright demotion) to send Cardwell, Gushchin and/or Thompson down to activate Celebrini/Dellandrea, because putting the other guys on waivers tomorrow doesn't open immediate spots for Tuesday night. Gaucholoco3 had it correct, far as I'm concerned.
Unless someone can find something saying opposite, that's what I'm going to stick with.
I really can’t tell what’s a troll post and what isn’t anymore but either way, it’s certainly quite the takeI think Celebrini should go to the AHL for the rest of the season, no need to rush him back.
Those are the lineups I've been wanting for awhile now. It'd be a real shame to move Granlund to the wing when he's been so good at center. Whenever I tried to balance out the lines in a way that gives it good puck retrieval, playmaking, and finishing, the problem has been that our puck retrievers are too one dimensional. Sturm, Dellandrea, Grundstrom, and Kunin just aren't good enough players to move around the lineup.I quite like the fit of playing Goodrow with Smith as he brings forchecking, puck retrieval and defense that compliments Smith's deficiencies very well
I don't like Kunin on his line because he isn't good at anything
I feel like overstacking the top line like that does a disservice to both Eklund and Smith by not giving them enough talent to play with, it would be nice if we could see them get a little more creative with their lineups so everyone has some real skill to play with:
XX-71-73
72-64-20
21-2-23
The real problem is that were one top-6 forward short to make this work, none of Kunin, Dellandrea, Kostin, Guschin or Cardwell really fit in that open hole in an ideal way, because of that I'd honestly prefer we keep the 70s line intact:
72-71-73
XX-64-20
21-2-23
That's probably what I would run with for now
These are the lines I want and ironically very similar to the first game. I would maybe switch Granlund and Eklund since I think Eklund might be a better pick retriever than Granlund. They weren’t given any time to see if it works since Celebrini got hurt after only one game.The one other line combo I had considered was
Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Granlund-Smith-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Wennberg-Kunin
Grundstrom-Sturm-Dellandrea
Basically just joking, want Celebrini in the lineup. But know he is single handedly going to win us a few games to probably take us out of the running for the top pick.I really can’t tell what’s a troll post and what isn’t anymore but either way, it’s certainly quite the take
I wouldn't worry about that too much, lolBasically just joking, want Celebrini in the lineup. But know he is single handedly going to win us a few games to probably take us out of the running for the top pick.
If Celebrini is so good that he single handedly prevents us from getting the top pick that is nothing but positive for the organization.Basically just joking, want Celebrini in the lineup.

So he made a point of embarrassing Walman in public instead of keeping it in-house when he could have just said Walman was injured from the hit he took and dealt with the non-hockey stuff in-house?
Carlsson activated from SOIR. Put on waivers yesterday, cleared today.
The point was to publicly call out Wallman.So he made a point of embarrassing Walman in public instead of keeping it in-house when he could have just said Walman was injured from the hit he took and dealt with the non-hockey stuff in-house?
