Fischler is an idiot.

Fischler is an idiot.

His age isn’t even an excuse. As far back as I remember he’s always been.

I like it. Let him develop and turn into an elite bottom 6 guy

Drury with W after W

Put them at center, go to Hartford and work with the group.. I would be extremely happy if he became 4th line center…

 

[EdJovanovski]

Nice game, played center and was on PP2 & PK1. Double shifted toward the end of the game.

Also heard a fact during the broadcast that I was completely unaware of. Rempe led Hartford in 5v5 goals last season at the time of his call up in February.

He does not look happy in his Hartford player portrait.

Aside from the sting of being demoted, isn't it a real drop in earnings too?

Regardless, the kid needs the ice time to develope. Only right solution. We'll see him again soon enough.

He might not be back if this team shows they can man up and have one another's backs in some heated games which will happen . We'll see who wants to go with Wilson and a few more ....if they do ....then it easily enough could be a stretch before he returns and maybe with another club who want a guy to play along with their young picks . Other teams will be asking about him if trade talks for a playoff bolstered roster happens .

Yes, his base salary when he's on the NHL roster is $775K. He gets a daily amount based on that number. When he's in the minors his salary is $70K, so less than 10% of his NHL salary. I mean it's part of the process for most young players that aren't stars, but it's still a big hit.
