How bad must he be in practice to keep Kindl?

I was wondering when I made the GDT that how long they're going to let McIlrath sit in the pressbox before they decide to waive him.

Kindl can sit there now that Petro is back.

Hopefully he makes it through and can help Springfield.

NM..

It's a shame they didn't give him a better chance, only bad game he had was the blowout against Leafs and the whole team was terrible in that game.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

right side is jammed, makes sense

As we get healthy the squad in Springfield is getting reinforcements.

Hopefully they are not too far gone to make a push of their own.

12 points behind the 4th seed(top 4 in each division make the playoffs)

And they have a game in hand

Honest question coz I haven't seen a whole lot of him--what makes McIlrath so bad??

Wish we knew, he played 3 games, in two months.

I'm hoping Wrath clears. I'd like to keep him since we won't have Kindl next year and probably one of Demers, Petro, or Pysyk.

I think more about, they see the possibility to get a pick for Kindl, then for Thompson and McIlrath. Since it´s only 4 weeks till deadline.

He was waived last year and this year and no one bit. Only when Detroit decided to retain salary and take a 6th round pick the following year(2017) in return.

I don't think he has any trade value.

He's a group VI UFA. At least 25yo by June 30th (check), 3+ professional seasons (check) and less than 80 NHL games (check).

I don't see why he'd re-sign with a team that doesn't play him.

None of those three have value, maybe a throw-in if that speculated salary dump type of trade happens, but that's about it.

We need toughness, we don't have any. So we get rid of the toughest guy on the team.

According to Gallant it's his skating that needs a lot of work.

Damn GGs love of a powder puff lineup...

In all seriousness I hope he gets a chance some place.

 

[Ekblad]

I wouldnt be surprised if this is made in an attempt to free up contract spots like with griffith. If no one bites, then springfield gets stronger. Doesnt hurt

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

For a team without toughness, we looked pretty damn tough last night.

About damn time. That's the most heart I've seen from this team all year. Hopefully they keep it up.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Its never been about being able to beat up the other team, you just have to want to go to the tough areas, finish your checks and stand up for your teammates.

McCann and McIlRath to Springfield

Barkov back the 9th. Perhaps a Hawryluk callup coming?
