Recalled/Assigned: All-Encompassing Call-ups Thread (4/29: Thomas, 9 others recalled to NYR)

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Nash - Richards - Gaborik
Hagelin - Stepan - Callahan
Kreider - Miller - Pyatt
Boyle - Halpern - Powe

If that first line can pick it up and get something going, and Kreider translates his play in the AHL to the big leagues, this team might actually become competitive.

Haley NEEDS to be on this team...what the heck is wrong with our coaching staff ??? We are TOO soft !!! Haley can skate , hit and agitate and probably would have potted a couple eventually . Geesh...I hate Torts more and more every game and I lump Sather into that too .

I do like Kreider...I agree with that move...but for the sake of God...let the kid play and take his lumps and learn from them . Haley would have been a perfect guy to help this kid on the ice and he could skate with CK better than 3-4 other of our 3/4 line guys can and he would have popped Orpik on that hit without any thought given .

I like Haley and would be happy with him staying up on the team but he hasn't done anything to say that the team needs him. He's had maybe one fight? A couple of hits but nothing that stands out.

With Asham coming back they'll have a player who can provide much of the same and has a bit more offense in his game

Calling b.s. on. This Haley played very well in his role never took dumb penalties and keep his cool . The lack of toughness on this roster is a joke . Boyle sucks ass and is a waste as is his twin tampon brother Pyatt .love Kreider but the kids need a protector

I liked Haley and I thought he had a place on the team but from a scoring standpoint, it's alright, I suppose. As for Haley potting a few, I doubt that. He ain't exactly a goal scorer.

Brian Boyle is a bad hockey player. Should've sent down Bickel and kept Haley in the lineup.
 
Brian Boyle is a great hockey player after sitting in the pressbox. He should be a healthy scratch every other game. Glad to see Kreider back! I would love to see him on the line with Stepan and Callahan but then Hagelin, who has played very well, gets displaced! So he'll probably play on the 4th line and get 5 minutes.
 
Well, I would love to see Kreider with Stepan and Nash. He could be very useful if he is playing with guys who know how to get the puck to him. On the other hand, I really like the Hags-Steps-Nash line and think we should keep it that way.

Other option is to put him with Miller and Callahan.

We've been playing without a "protector" for several games now, what have happen? Nada niente nothing. What has NOT happen is scoring goals, that is what we need, and hopefully that is what Kreider will provide, something that Haley did not provide. I think the time in AHL was the right choice and that he'll come back more focused and prepared.
 
Because last night was a perfect example of hank being snow showered bumped and even speared . Go watch second period where he robs clarkson watch number #16 dive in stick first in to hanks groin area. Boyle does nothing .. Watching the only hope we have bumped pushed or whatever with no response makes me sick.. Boyle is will huber reincarnated
 
Haley was okay and was maybe good enough to stay up to see if he can improve, but saying this team needs him? Come on. Having Haley in the lineup or not having Haley in the lineup is the least of this team's worries.
 
Zipay>Cerny

The ONLY reason I can think of keeping Stu is cuz he can be used a both a D and F (also for his devilishly handsome good looks)

Stu as a forward is alright. He doesn't do anything good or bad in that regard. Having him at D is awful.

Hopefully this means they'll sit Pyatt for a game or two when Asham gets back. Pyatt hasn't looked very good offensively the past few weeks.
Click to expand...

I like this idea a lot. I love Pyatt. I think he was a solid acquisition. But I think benching him for a game or two will not only rest him but also wake his ass up hopefully.

LOVE that Kreider is back. He earned it. But if he is gona play on the 4th line it is a complete waste. He needs the minutes and he needs it with more talented players. I don't know where you slot him in because Nash-Richards-Gaborik looked great last night, and Hagelin-Stepan-Callahan looked solid too. Glad I'm not the coach LOL. But I wouldn't mind Kreider with Miller and Boyle/Pyatt.

Sucks to see Haley go down. Would rather have waived Bickel and kept Haley.

Hags-Steps-Nash haven't played together since Richards came back. I'm okay with it now since Hags-Steps-Cally is also an awesome line. Stepan has been playing so well I think it would be a good idea to put Kreider with him. Anyone but Boyle really...
 
Levitate said:
I thought Boyle looked pretty good last night. Sharper and quicker and more aggressive than he has been for much of the year. Then again that has been the problem with Boyle, he hasn't been able to consistently keep up that play.

At any rate, you have to imagine it's him or Pyatt to the fourth line because it doesn't make sense to call up Kreider to play on the 4th line
Click to expand...

He was sharp..for him. I agree. However, he did destroy several scoring opportunities that his linemates worked hard to create. 4th line or bust for him.

That 3rd line is Pejorative Slured. You cannot play Marion Gaborik with Brian Boyle; you just can't. Let Miller center the line of Gaborik and Pyatt. And let Boyle work on getting 4th line minutes.
 
If he puts Kreider on the fourth line or plays him fourth line minutes i will throw my remote right thru my tv screen.
Its crazy how we wish we could pair all of our wingers with Stepan and NOT Richards to get them going. lol.
I guess you gotta try out Kreider with Miller although I am sure he would be a great fit with STepan and Nash/Cally.
OR why not reunite the Kreider-Miller-Cally line, but i guess that would break up our best line going right now.
Decisions Decisions
 
Although Stepan and Callahan have put 1 nice goal together (Shorthanded against Buffalo) and the garbage goal (Carolina), I think Stepan paired with Nash on RW would make even more happen.

Hagelin - Stepan - Nash
Kreider/Pyatt - Richards - Gaborik
Kreider/Pyatt - Miller - Callahan
Powe - Halpern - Boyle/Asham
 
The Haley demotion is stupid. He's better than Bickel, and Pyatt has been pretty nothingmaster himself. Boyle is soft, but should be the 4C or traded.

Should have let Kreider keep lighting it up in the AHL. I hope they know what they are doing.

He doesn't have to go through waivers. He's on a 2-way this year.
Click to expand...

1-way and 2-way contracts have nothing to do with waiver eligibility. 2-way just means he gets less money to play in the AHL than he does to play in the NHL. On a 1-way, he gets the same money no matter where he plays.

Haley has only played 52 NHL games. If my calculations are correct, he won't be waiver eligible until he plays 60, so no waivers needed to send him down.

Edit: Correction. He has played in 3 NHL seasons after signing his first contract at the age of 23. Therefore he should be subject to waivers.
