Atkinson is practicing on PP1 with Nikita Kucherov. Especially given our lack of right-handed forwards, he's going to make the team.

Sammy Blais and Mike Hoffman released from their various NHL PTOs.

We needed a 35 year old who looks smaller than his listed 5 ft 8 in

Geekie has looked pretty damn good. I love it

Is Raddysh going to be a scratch?

[StammerHammer]

I don’t understand. They haven’t even made all the cuts and they’re already bringing guys back?

You know that camp season is long when there are assignments and recalls.

wonder who this is in reference to other than brown. I think it might be Chaffee, he only played 10:56 in his last game which was composed of mostly prospects/AHL players, didn't notice him leave though

We have a few known injuries up front.

We're limping into the regular season.

I'm ready to end the Brown experiment. I have absolutely nothing against him but this whole "always being hurt" gimmick has already worn out on me. Dude is actively challenging Martin Havlat's groin for heavyweight champion of injuries. Who would have thought we'd ever find a guy who makes Zach Bogosian look like a lightweight?

I'd be okay with signing him if any likely IR situation is fine with the team.

Yeah at this point it's the only reason to. Nothing personal against Brown but I would rather just accrue cap space as the season goes on. I'd rather have a financial asset I know will be there than a player who may not be. I hope someone signs him

He would probably be reassigned to syracuse rather than be put in LTIR if he was injured long term.

I'm pretty sure a team can't do that. Get a player injured in the NHL and then assign them to the minor leagues to potentially pay them less.

right but he's not even under contract yet

 

[Felonious Python]

right but he's not even under contract yet

from the CBA:

13.6 Disabled Player Loan to Minor Leagues. A Player who is otherwise required to clear
Regular Waivers and who becomes disabled while on an NHL roster can be placed on Regular
Waivers and be Loaned to a minor league club prior to appropriate medical clearance being
granted only if the Player was on NHL Recall at the time he becomes disabled and has not
played ten (10) NHL Games (cumulative) or remained on the NHL roster for thirty (30) days
(cumulative) since his Recall. The Player shall receive his Paragraph 1 NHL Salary and benefits
until appropriate medical clearance is granted. All other Players may not be Loaned until
appropriate medical clearance is granted.

A Player who is otherwise required to clear Regular Waivers who becomes
disabled during Training Camp must clear Regular Waivers if he remains on an NHL roster for
thirty (30) days (cumulative) during his disability or if he plays ten (10) NHL Games
(cumulative) before being Loaned to a minor league club.

The Player's days on the roster while disabled and NHL Games played following
such disability count towards the Waiver expiration provision of Section 13.5.

He could still get sent to Syracuse, but he'd be making NHL money.

Dalpe is pretty good if we want some center depth. He's scored on us twice in this preseason.

Another big cut is coming, though. We have like 10 bubble players with the main team right now.

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm not expecting any surprises. The entire G Unit minus Goncalves is probably getting sent to Syracuse along with Duke and we can expect the likes of Sheary, Glendening, Ace and Chaffee on the regular
