I agree. But he will get claimed. He's a right shot defenseman that has looked fine in the past on his natural side and being limited in playing time due to our stocked defenseman situation. No other team is going to look at his play this year and think he is no good anymore.
Do we really care if he gets claimed?

I'd guess the organization does by their actions. Probably like the idea of him as depth for the playoffs on the right side.

And are we sure that he will be claimed? Ned cleared when Detroit just sent him down, and there's no shortage of teams who could use at least a backup goalie.

I can't see Vancouver passing on him if he were available. They have nothing to lose by taking him and seeing how he does. If he is bad, they waive him later.

Emotionally no, depth wise…..probably. It’s concerning he’s the first guy to get the nod when someone gets hurt.

Fair although I'm not sure guys we have down in the A like Lajoie or Lagesson would be any worse as a 7D than he has been. Also I strongly suspect we'll add a 3rd pair D at the deadline making him expendable.

Aren’t those two lefties? I may be remembering them wrong. If they are then it makes sense to hold on to Coglan. I agree with everyone’s assessment of him.

Radio is all but confirming that he ruptured his Achilles again. Brindy is talking about how the team is going to need to regroup and pick up the pieces after tonight.

A 5-2 win....

We literally don't have anyone who can step in and be what we need. Patches was THE fix. With him done, we have nothing
Again: the team was undefeated in December without him. Yes, he can't be replaced, but the games don't stop and they're still a playoff team. It sucks, but every team deals with injuries. Someone needs to step up, and that's it.
