Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Geersten and potentially Hickey signed? Let's f***ing do this!

Grab Chara out of retirement while we're at it and just punch our way to the playoffs...

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Hickey is a great dude, hopefully he does terrific in camp

Go home.

 

[Bleedred]

Senyshyn also has to be for the minors if I had to guess.

25 years old and only 16 NHL games played and his career high in games played for a season in the NHL was 8 games in 20-21.

He's such a terribly busted pic that he makes McLeod look far less than underwhelming.

 

[Camille the Eel]

If Senyshen doesn’t make the club out of camp, mightn’t we sign him to play in Utica?

We depleted Utica quite a lot by the end of last season - that was my impression anyway - and probably need to add some depth there. Over the course of a season there are injuries and call ups too.

It’s more likely he’s depth replacement in case two of Thompson/Zetterlund/Holtz make the team.

He’s a good AHL player. Believe he’s not yet at the veteran limit for the AHL too so he can qualify one of those VE spots.

Billy Jerry and Brody Crane sounds like a wrestling tag team.

And you’ll be in a handicapped match Players’, against Da UndaTaka, holla holla.

Billy Jerry "The King Lawler" and "Bruiser" Brody Crane.

Whatcha Gonna Do, Brotherrr???

 

[Goptor]

Bratt with #64. I guess he got stuck with the number after his brother.

I’ve seen Little Jerry in the ring. It wasn’t pretty.

 

[Guadana]

We need five more Bratt brothers.

 

[My3Sons]

We need five more Bratt brothers.

Ok, you are maybe learning a little too much English when you can drop pins like that grandpa.

It’s a classic. I couldn’t pass by.

Jesper, Jasper, Jisper, Josper, Jusper, and Filip

Strange no Zetterlund or Thompson

I, for one, can't wait for the overreactions to the prospect scrimmages

i’m especially worried what happens if Holtz doesn’t look NHL ready. Kid has plenty of time. Most of these guys do.

I wonder who remembers the “back breaker” Atonina Rocca and “Haystacks” Calhoun? About 1960 progressional wrestling was big time mainstream broadcasting on the three networks that then existed. (NBC, ABC, CBS). There had to be 6 to 8 hours prime time attention per week.
Boxing too. I vividly remember the Sugar Ray Robinson and Gene Fulmer middleweight championship fights.

“Tempera mutandur, nos et in eis mutamur.” (I assume I’ve got some of that wrong . . .)

 

[Brodeur]

Strange no Zetterlund or Thompson

They're no longer on ELCs, so perhaps they're excused? Scanning other teams' rookie rosters and the older guys are usually on their 2nd organization and just trying to land an AHL spot (Colton Point, J.D. Greenway, etc): PTO: - 2022 NHL Training Camp Thread

 

[FooteBahl]

Jesper, Jasper, Jisper, Josper, Jusper, and Filip

And sometimes Jysper?

Correct, players on 2nd NHL contracts are not eligible for this stuff.
