The Phantoms have a tough group of guys
Rinaldo can beat some ass depending on the opponent. He's pretty good against middleweights. Guys that kick his ass are Thornton, Bissonnette, ect but it's alright. As long as our guys avoid being Downied it'll all be good.
I also did not like watching Lecavalier get his face caved in by Oleksey last season.
Well it wouldn't surprise me to see them call up Rosehill for a game should we need him against a team like Boston or Toronto.
Looking for help with this. Once a player clears waivers once, you can recall and demote them throughout the year without doing so, correct? Thanks.

Last time we tried this Giroux kept getting run, to the point that Voracek had to step up and fight somebody, and yes he won, but u don't want that to happen again.
Lost in this Rosehill demotion is that we also lost Hartnell, who essentially was Giroux's protector on the top line. No Hartsy, no Rosie.. Not sure I like where we are with the team toughness. Simmonds and Rinaldo, that's about it. Jones seemed game but not a great fighter, and Schenn will stick up for guys but doesn't fight much. I dunno, we'll see how it goes, but I'd be surprised if we didn't have a "goon" by November on the roster, maybe sooner.
I'd much rather have skill go against Toronto's 4th line then go head to head with toughness.
Hallelujah, praise Jeebus. With the state the team is at, I don't mind having one guy like Rosehill playing on the fourth line. We already have Rinaldo though and he's not going anywhere most likely and having Rosehill/Rinaldo compose the majority of our fourth line options would make me have mental vomit. Only room for one of those guys, max, if you want to roll a fourth line that can be useful or at least not a total liability.
If people think goons/pure enforcers wins games or that Toronto is a good example to follow they should see where Toronto finished last season, then look at the likes of Orr-McLaren composing their fourth line, then ask Leafs fans what they thought about not being able to roll our four responsible lines as well as how they think that affected the rest of the lineup.
I'm relatively confidant Leafs fans won't be all that happy about it or the fact that their fourth line might be that way again this season.
