i knew this was gonna happen. it's all a matter of who he fills in for, though...
Stu Bickel. Hopefully.
def a better option than newbury
So much for Torts saying no callups from the Whale I love him but sometimes that man talks out of his you know where....
He has speed and can forecheck and goes to the net. Hopefully Torts can work with him and maybe turn him into a Ryan Carter like player.
You need speed in the bottom 6.
I expect something like this;
Gaborik-Richards-Nash (aka the Megapowers Line)
Pyatt-Stepan-Callahan
Hagelin-Boyle-Ferriero
Kreider-Halpern-Rupp
unless they keep Bickel up front which is pointless. He'll probably take Emminger's spot regardless because Torts loves him.
Expect Sam and Joe to talk about how Boyle and Ferriero know each other and how it could lead to on ice chemistry
I'd still like to see Mashinter get a shot as well.
Stu Bickel. Hopefully.
Edit: I really think this trade could make Sather look like a genius, if he clicks with Boyle or Halpern.
@stevezipay: Kreider has bone chip in right ankle. MRI yesterday. Will be off ice couple days
Doesn't matter, Kreider was out last game.
This means Bickle back on defense.

NYR practice lines: 10-19 61; 14-21-24; 62-22-17, 36-15-45. On D, looks as if Bickel, Gilroy will be healthy scracthes

Is Torts on crack?
Switch those two.
