[Just A Bit Outside]

Makes sense waiving Aman.

Creates more cap space to eventually trade for a dman.

Have Raty in Abby if needed.

 

[Ernie]

Will Aman be claimed?

Definitely a risk though not as much of a concern since Raty is an option now

 

[Blue and Green]

If they keep Bains as the spare forward then they must be comfortable with Joshua as the fifth option at centre. The other possibility is that Raty replaces Bains in the near future.

 

[David71]

Will Aman be claimed?

by colorado. they have 9 regulars out. and have kylington playing as a forward in a 4th line role...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I think Hoglander's days are numbered, personally

Aman really isn't anything special

 

[sting101]

Yes dont see how Colorado doesn't take him. Even NYI are in injury trouble but Colorado is decimated

Yeah I was just going to say Aman is a big add for Abbotsford. He may not provide offense in the NHL but in his few stints in the AHL he has been productive. 9 points in 17 games the first go around, and 15 points in 15 games in the other. I recall he and Karlsson working well together so whenever Karlsson is back Abbotsford will have 2 good top 6 pairs in Raty/Lekkerimaki and Aman/Karlsson. That also pushes Sasson down to be the 3rd line center unless one of those guys moves to wing.

EDIT: Woops, yeah I'm not even considering the strong possibility he gets claimed here. Damn....

 

[Donuts]

EP would be better as a winger maybe.

So Allvin gonna need to trade for a top 6 C along with upgrading that defense.

 

[cc]

Is it really worth losing a depth center to keep Bains in the lineup? I really don't understand tocchet's desire to keep Bains up with the club other than he plays a little like PDG

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Very unfortunate that both Guentzel and Reinhart never went to market, because if they had I firmly believe we would have landed one of them. They're both scoring at an elite rate right now and well worth their larger contracts.

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Would like to see a good amount of those shots going in, but that an encouraging start.

I expect we'll see him in the top six before too long. We severely lack one shot scoring players that can score from any angle.

 

[sting101]

Yes there was some rumblings about that last night on HNIC

A bit strange they would expose Amen right now. Has to be as good as gone.

With Joshua coming back it made the most sense to just send down Bains and use his waiver eligibility.
It's great seeing Lekkerimaki fire 6 shots a game and Raty get going with a 3 pt night but keeping our depth and having some patience seems like prudence No?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Sprong -> pp1
Lekk -> pp2

Reinhart was the guy that I wanted the Canucks to use the 2021 9th overall to grab. And it would've been a legitimate offer, relative to what he actually fetched. Panthers, coming off of a top-four regular season and figuring to be strong again the next season, gave up their 2022 1st (turned out to be 28th overall) and a good-not-elite goalie prospect.

 

[Tact]

Aman clears - good news

 

[The Optimist]

Pretty telling that a team as decimated as the Avs had no interest.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Still the most handsome team in the league, good, good.

 

[Peen]

Bit surprising. He is what he is and has literally zero upside, but there are a lot of worse forwards playing around the league rn

 

[thecupismine]

Very interested in what happens in Boston over the next two months. Off to a slow start, and if that continues and they look to do a mini re-tool, there's a bunch of decent blueliners there that could become available.

The bottom might come out with the Islanders with all their injuries, but given Lou's age I don't know if they'll ever actually commit to rebuilding.

 

[sting101]

Really would love to get Kulich or Byram out of Buffalo somehow.

 

[wonton15]

Hoglander just fell to his knees crying happy tears in Ikea

 

[JT Milker]

Really would love to get Kulich or Byram out of Buffalo somehow.

You could probably get both for Pettersson.

 

[sting101]

You could probably get both for Pettersson.

That's an insane overpayment.

Shocked he cleared.....what is Colorado doing?
