Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 12 days) - Main Cam

[Adam Michaels]

Waivers eligible watch:
Gignac
Condotta
ABB
Barron
Pezz

I know they need waivers. I was talking about who I think will be on waivers today foe the cuts. I think Gignac, having played last night will be among those cut. And he will be the only one cut today who requires waivers.

Barron and Pez to me will be on the roster opening night. Condotta I believe will play Saturday and then get cut. ABB might earn a spot particularly cause of RHP's injury.

Next season:
Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - Dach - Demidov
Roy - Beck - Newhook
Gallagher - Kapanen - Anderson

Gallagher and Anderson will need retention to be moved, so I don't see Hughes trading them with 2 years left on their contract to make room for a 29-year-old Evans. The only way Hughes trade them that early is if there is a prospect who forces their hand.

Hughes would be incredibly stubborn not to retain Gallagher and Anderson to trade them. The top 6 will be need to play the bulk of the PK in your lineup given how inexperienced Beck/Kapenen will be.

Marty probably wanted to sleep on it and then talk it through with Hughes and Gorton today.

We know one of the few interesting nuggets from The Rebuild is Marty likes to take some time and let the emotions of the game wash away.

Marty shouldn't have to sleep on cutting all the ones on AHL/EHCL contracts. They might have already done it and it's just not announced.

They would announce them all at once, I would think, so I'm sure he didn't sweat those ones but maybe some of the fringe cases.

 

[EveryDay]

Practice start at 12h15, we should have some news in the next 60 min.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Let go MTL everybody else is cutting the fat.
Show us where you're at!

If they aren't planning on trading anyone, there is no fringe cases.

 

[WeThreeKings]

There's always fringe cases.. like are we giving Mailloux and Engstrom another game or are putting them down to the AHL now. All of that is on the evaluation table with 3 games left.

No one would confuse him with a Czech composer. Dvorak not Dvoř(j)ák.

Dvorak The composer was a modernist musical genius. Crap at face offs though.

 

[Rapala]

Don't they typically announce cuts after the practice(s).

I actually replied to the wrong post, was meant to answer another poster who asked if Dobes needed waivers

 

[morhilane]

Don't they typically announce cuts after the practice(s).

Sometimes it's after a game, sometimes after practice.

Waivers are sometimes right before the deadline.

I'm sure we can waiver as early as today no one is grabbing any of those guys.

I meant the daily deadline. Waivers are usually announced at around 2pm because teams have to send the list before that time to the NHL office.

Bust he fumbled one of the pucks!

He actually makes it look easy: reception/shot on the move.

SET THE TONE!

 

[EveryDay]

Well I guess no cuts so far since the practice is starting now.

 

[bsl]

I hope for godsakes Evans is out this summer.

A 4th line c should give you 10 g 15a good defense and good forecheck. I don’t think evans has this.

 

[red devil]

My guess is Struble is a placeholder until Guhle gets back, then he will rotate with Xhekaj and Barron.
