Recalled/Assigned: Frank Nazar Called Up From Rockford

[Salvaged Ship]

If he doesn’t have 3 points in his first game, he’s a bust and should be traded immediately before he loses anymore value.

Yep, another baby who is supposed to be great immediately

If I were doing lines

Bertuzzi - Bedard - Reichel
Hall - Nazar - TT
Foligno - Dickenson - Donato
Mikheyev - Kurashev - Maroon/Smith

Vlasic has been a very pleasant surprise and that new deal that he signed is looking like an absolute steal of a deal.

Due to Craig Smith injury last night…hope he’s not out too long, he’s 46 games away from 1000…five 20 goal seasons..carved out a not too shabby NHL career

I welcome the end of the Dickinson, Mikeyhev, Folgino, Smith, Donato, etc. era but this seriously could have waited until he had a few more players adjusted to his system. Can't really react good or bad to this one, but I look forward to see how this weighs in with KD's other decisions between now and the deadline.

With a pile of depth prospects coming up, it would be nice if Rockford wasn't bleh-bad come the spring but I'm happy for the kid and I will be more entertained and more excited to watch, and he does make more sense to have on the forecheck than 3 or 4 of the forwards they have up there now.

Big picture, they're finally shifting away from floor hockey or whatever non skating brand they were playing.

Wouldn’t a player who knows the system already help others adjust?

Has anything not been disappointing over the last 2 years?

The dismissal of Luke Richardson.
