Pre-Game Talk: GM 25 | Vancouver Canucks vs. Columbus Blue Jackets | Dec 6 | 7:00PM PST | SNP

[Flik]

How loud are the chants gonna be if Miller does return this weekend?

Sources say yes.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

There are lots of options. You could even try this:

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Miller - Garland
Heinen - Blueger - Sherwood
Raty - Suter - Hoglander

I'd be very intrigued by a Joshua - Blueger - Sherwood 3rd line as well, with Garland moving up.

When Miller returns…

Suter - Miller - Boeser
DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sherwood
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Heinen - Raty - Hoglander

Tried & Proven.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

BAH GAWD THAT'S JT MILLER'S MUSIC

Sounds more like mgmt's BFF: Cap Space.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

I’d swap Aman & Raty around every 10 games or so to keep them both ready. Not much of a difference between the two, Aman is better defensively and is a good Penalty Killer, Raty is slightly bigger with slightly more top end speed.

Waivers for Aman

Waivers for Aman

Ah I see

 

[Vector]

Do we still benefit from cap accrual given the Hronek and Miller situations?

This seems like it may be an actual assignment. If so, I do wonder if maybe it's making room for Miller, or if there's another Abbotsford forward they want to get a look at? Nils Aman has been good since he went down there, and Klimovich has been putting up some goals.

Every day they are under the cap they are accruing cap space. It's just been such a small amount. By sending Sasson down today, they increase it quite a bit.



Curious that they didn't send Raty down. Might indicate that Sasson is actually being assigned.

Well, you could do that for 10 games or 30 days.

With all that extra money we might be able to add a 2006 Toyota Corolla at the deadline

You haven't seen used toyota prices. They're in demand as much as RHD

Paying Brian Burke to drive all these players to the airport has really been adding up over the years. This will allow them to drive themselves.

MAKING ROOM FOR KRAVTSOV

OR KESSEL

Raty faster then Aman now?

[wonton15]

I dont know if I understand this?

 

[Vector]

I dont know if I understand this?

Yeah. Me neither. According to everyone who's watch him, he's not been great since being sent down.

 

[wonton15]

Yeah. Me neither. According to everyone who's watch him, he's not been great since being sent down.

Sasson has been very good in his 4th line role as well. Wouldn’t make sense to force Lekkerimaki to play that role, or drop anyone from the current top 6.

Maybe they send him down again and recall Sasson before Friday?

That would be really odd. They have done that with Bains so not unprecedented.

 

[Bgav]

Sasson got smoked last game, maybe he's feeling it today.

 

[M2Beezy]

Demko at home to steal every victory and Lankinen on the road because the guy is a beast on the road.

My inner Johnny C would say "Lankinen hasnt won a road game in regulation in 4 games, season was over before it began. What a disaster"

 

[StreetHawk]

Yeah. Me neither. According to everyone who's watch him, he's not been great since being sent down.

There is no benefit in calling Lekky up and down multiple times in his first NA pro season. Fine with the cup of coffee on the first call up, but he should be learning the north american game/ice this season. Guys like him that you are counting on down the line, need to develop. Give them some consistency and routine this season.

Aman, PDG, etc. are the guys that can be yo yoing up and down from Abby.

Speaking of PDG, do we know what injury he picked up? Only played in two Abby games so far this year?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

No. Injury reporting in the AHL/Abbotsford is notoriously awful. Zero idea what's happening there.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Sasson & Räty are both capable nhl fourth liners now fortunately.
Along with aman and a healthy PDG that's quite good bottom roster depth.
