Barré-Boulet, Kapanen or Heineman : Who's the one staying ?

[Ozmodiar]

CC - NS - Slaf
Newhook - Dach - Anderson
Roy/Heineman (in rotation) - Dvo - Kapanen
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
(Pezz, JR/EH)

More decisions to make when Laine returns. Maybe Kapanen or Heineman sent down with a checklist of what they have to work on.

ABB to Laval. Only needed if there are injuries.

 

[TennisMenace]

I hope Kapanen stays.

 

[LaP]

I hope Kapanen stays.

I think he stays. They'll likely want to keep him around. He has two full seasons of experience in Europe not sure he would benifit that much from a 3rd outside of the SHL being a stronger league than the Liiga.

ABB will be used at the end of the season to fill a Jersey after the TDL like Belzile two years ago.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

ABB
Kapanen
Waiver pick up
Heineman

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Cole-Suzuki-Slaf
Roy-Dach-Newhook
-Dvorak-Armia
-Evans-

Why are we choosing ? There's literally 5 spots left for Kapanen, Heineman, ABB, Pezz, Anderson, Gallagher.

Send Gallagher home to Laval and voila.

Gallagher has a NMC, can't be sent down

 

[Rapala]

Given what I've seen in camp Evans is my 3rd line center not Dvorak AINEC.
But I'm biased because I've always maintained Evans is not a good/ideal 4th line player.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Gallagher has a NMC, can't be sent down

He has a 6 team no-trade list, no?

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Barré-Boulet. I feel like another year in Europe for Kapanen will be good for his development, and Heineman can spend the year in Laval.

 

[Habby4Life]

He has a 6 team no-trade list, no?

Puckpedia say 6 team no trade and a full no movement clause.

Can’t be waived or sent to the minors without his approval.

Kapanen can't be sent down as per his contract in Sweden. It is play in the NHL or go back to Sweden and play the entire season in the SHL.

Barre-Boulet is already 27. Has always looked good in camp settings on other clubs and in the ahl. He's not an nhler. I'd rather time be invested in Kapanen. BB will be the classic camp darling who will have no impact at the nhl level. We know where this story will end.

Heineman hasn't developed as much as I hoped since his first camp. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something still immature about his game. I think he can keep up in the nhl, but not sure he makes much of an impact on the ice.

 

[Habs13]

From the preseason alone, all three deserve to be on the team. Unfortunately the salary cap is super restrictive. I understand why, but it sucks that you basically have to give spots to some players based on contracts.


I like both a lot. I purely choose Kapanen because otherwise he's gone to Europe.

That was part of the reason I didn't - I think Kapanen benefits from another season in Sweden while Heinemen is getting closer to needing to clear waivers. I think both deserve a spot more than Barre-Boulet (I hope I got that right) based on them having a brighter future. And Harvey-Pinard having a rotten season last year after showing so much promise. Lavalagger became Gallager way too soon.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Why does Roy have a free spot in the lineup when he looks like crap all preseason?

We should at least see next year how Heineman will at least start out in the NHL. It will be good for Heineman to have a big role in the AHL imo.

But we don't need him or ABB this year. Perhaps ABB starts out as 13/14th forward with Pez if we don't want to risk losing him on waivers.

He was outplayed be Kap, Hein, Tuch.

Send him down.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Send him down.

He's also only 21 , not the end of the world or anything if he's not performing as expected , I mean I have no problem with him starting with the team but I hope they don't just give him a free pass out there if he struggles

 

[LaP]

We can't send all kids in the AHL and expect them to have all big role in the AHL and eat minutes. Not sure why it's so hard to understand. You'll have Roy, Beck, Heineman, Tuch, Xhekaj, Mesar along with vets and tweeners like Kidney, Farrell, Condota, ...

If we send them all in t he AHL some of them will play a bottom 6 role in the AHL. I really should not have to repeat that every 3 days. KH knows what is is going and i would be surprised with Laine's injury if there's not two of Tuch, Kapanen, Roy and Heineman starting in the NHL.

 

[Mrb1p]

Gallagher has a NMC, can't be sent down

So send him home

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

So send him home

I'll take Gallagher on this team over Anderson any day, thanks

 

[Mrb1p]

I'll take Gallagher on this team over Anderson any day, thanks

So send Anderson home and have Gallagher as the 13th forward.

I'm actually the opposite, I'd rather have a capable body with an incapable mind than a capable mind with an incapable body. It's like saying you'd rather have Guy Lafleur out there than Tanner Pearson. Guy won't do much on the ice, sadly.

 

[OldCraig71]

I'll take Gallagher on this team over Anderson any day, thanks

Both of them hurt the team. Gallagher is worn out and is a small player and Anderson is frustrating to watch, he has all of the physical tools but is empty between the ears.

Why does Roy have a free spot in the lineup when he looks like crap all preseason?

Preseason isn’t made for guys like Roy. He’s cerebral and his entire game is about anticipation. Right now games are a mess for everyone involved, there’s no real systems and it’s full of AHLers doing whatever to stand out. I’m not worried about him.

 

[Ozmodiar]

He wouldn’t have both.
