Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

[WreckingCrew]

I would have to think if Morrow really really wanted to participate in the AHL ASG he would have communicated that with the team, and I see no reason they wouldn't have acquiesced to that request and called up someone else as the warm body "just in case". We can be cutthroat at times but I see no benefit to pulling him from the ASG against his will...some players actively don't want to participate in it so this could be a "get out of jail free" card for him.

Burns back to PP1

Hell some NHLers don't want to go. The Seattle rep last year wasn't happy he had to cancel his beach trip he and his wife had scheduled.

Loading up the PP with righties. Might as well try that, nothing else working

Morrow will love the bump in his next paycheck even if he's only up for a few days.

Burns as PP QB is not ideal.

It's too bad the momentum that the PP had with Ghost as QB early on was lost when he got hurt.

I suspect that if Canes were certain that Nikishin was coming over before the playoffs, I'd think Ghost would be vulnerable to a trade.

This level of honesty is refreshing.

Half a season on the job and already Tulsky has the NHL fed up with his cap shenanigans.

Ghost hasn’t looked good at all since the injury.

injury + new baby = sub optimization. Hopefully, 2 week break gets his performance back.

I don't always follow call ups etc closely, but this is a bit of an absurd response, no? Is he lying? Does he actually not know?

I mean, RBA doesn’t seem like the type to sweat the small stuff. He knows his team needs an extra player, he assumes he’ll get that player. How that process happens doesn’t really seem to matter to him, as long as it happens.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Didnt Tulsky say recently that he confirms with RBA on all transactions?
