Bridgeport Sound Tigers Discussion Part V

Can Berube even be traded? Doesn't he first have to go through waivers?

Waivers have nothing to do with being traded. He can be traded no problem. Isles clearly want the player in the system, he is a good player and prospect. Isles don't want to risk loosing him for nothing, and he knows that as a professional hockey player, he will gladly sit wit the team and get practice and learn and experience the grind of being an NHL player and being paid as one.

I was remembering it wrong, looks like what I said only applies to players brought in from a European league.

Though I found this:

Once a team claims a player from waivers, it may not trade that player unless it first offers him to any other teams who made waiver claims for him.

Though I found this:

Oh wow, really? I thought that was just waiver rotation, how would the NHL/NHLPA even prove that though? An email saying that Snow asked for Kopitar straight up for Berube and Lombardi said no, so he is ok to trade elsewhere?

Kings have no say in this, it's about the teams that also tried to claim him. The way I understand it is Snow needs to agree to a trade with a team, like Berube for a 3rd, and then offer this trade to any other team that tried to claim him. Well, we don't even know if somebody else did try. Either way Snow gets the deal he wants so I guess this doesn't change anything.

Gotcha, thanks Spybot!

Mayfield not with the team tonight. Did he not make it in time? He tweeted about this Isles game earlier today, so he's probably alive. Mildly weird.

Boychuk was activated off IR, sending Mayfield back to Bridgeport.

Yes and he's not with Bridgeport tonight. Would think he had enough time to join the team, they're playing in Pennsylvania.

8 in a row now for Bridgeport, beating the baby rags 7-3 and a hat trick by AHL contract Andrew Rowe.

Glad to see them rebound

They fell 49 seconds short of making it 9 in a row today at Albany. The Devils tied it up late, and eventually won in OT. BPT at least picks up a pt.

Honky keeps liking all my Soundtiger fight videos. (I needed to tell you all that.)

How are Pulock (and Mayfield) looking these days? Anyone else of note standing out?

 

[sabremike]

Going this Sunday and It's a bobblehead day for first 2,000. How early should I get there to ensure getting the Lee bobble?

You wont have an issue getting one if you get there a half hour before gametime.

Thanks! Lee is actually going to be there signing autographs as well.

No Pulock, Mayfield, Pelech or Carkner --> 6 - 1 loss to Providence last night.

But they won the next night!

 

[PROMputt]

Keep an eye on Carter Verhaeghe. Decent size and the kid can play. The Islanders got him from Toronto in the Grabner trade.

 

[charlie1]

But they won the next night!

Obviously Carnker is the difference.

I'll be there for the re-re-match on Friday in Providence. Should be fun.

 

[Islesfan22]

Mayfield back as well.

 

[WinhallVT124]

Bridgeport had a really good chance to get 2 Pts last night but blew a 3-2 lead and lost 4-3 in a shootout to the baby rags.

Maybe with Malkin and Ledecky things will change with Bridgeport, perhaps money will be spent on quality free agents. Its frustrating year after year of having such a sucky team.

They're missing two of their top defenseman, no?

Pretty sure Whitney is out for the season as well, no?

He's a top AHL talent.

I believe so. He's only played 36 games and he was playing all the time earlier in the year.
