Player Discussion: Stanley

[AtomicJets]

I never got that comment about a 22 man roster. What coach doesn’t want more options and what GM wants to risk his depth players to waivers?

They build up salary cap space by doing this, gives them flexibility at the deadline

I'd wager that's about to change.

I can see the want to be at 22 originally makes getting your spare guys game action a lot easier.

Since game 5 of the season, the Jets have carried 23 players, because they have Cap space expect them to carry more after the trade deadline.

Coghlan hasn't played in 11 games. Probably won't play now that the schedule gets harder. I wonder if they are keeping him around as an extra body to practice special teams. Or just taking care of the player so that he wants to come back as a UFA. $100 000 in an NHL paycheque goes a long way to quality of living, with the greater part of a $200 000 AHL salary awaiting him.

I'll take your wager on Fleury...Chynoweth likes him, the coaches just like Stanley more.

And with team scoring almost 5 goals per game and averaging nearly 2 against, it's hard to see a guy like Big Stan getting knocked out of the lineup when Heinola is finally ready to play.

I'll be interested to see if Fleury draws back in for the Bolts, because there is usually something extra a player has to give against their former team that gave up on them.
