CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Seems like Studnicka and Aman being waived and sent down as Tocchet said it "it was above my pay grade" - the loss of Brisebois and Soucy to injury complicated cap related matters and that is why they were sent down. Tocchet re-iterated Studnicka had a good camp and Aman was good that he should've been in for opening night roster.

Rip The Mesh Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Ricks going to like Lafferty. Maybe he even put the request in to Alvin.. Edited October 8, 2023 by Rip The Mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngould21 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Seems IM is going to be ready soon too! I want to see him at full speed. On Lafferty, the Leafs had him slotted into their third line, he's not an upgrade on Beau or even Garland for that matter, but as a 4th line winger/center. Size is a good thing, if he uses it.

Slegr Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 I like the mix of who is remaining on this team. That sucks Soucy is week to week though. I just don’t see a spot for Hoglander on the team, unless we run into serious injuries. I’m ready to move on from that experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 If McWard isn't in the plans to be played in the top 6...send him to Abbotsford so he can get reps in. I'd rather see him play 20+ in multiple roles than a sheltered role here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes and Hronek looked very good last game and even Myers seemed to play well with Cole who was also really solid. I don’t think we’ll see Hirose and Juulsen as a pair on Wednesday though. I think they make a claim or a trade by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed though… Hughes shied away from taking shots compared to the last couple games. Wonder why? Myers and Cole seem to compliment each other well, which is convenient given Soucy’s injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoglander isn't really an experiment, he's a 22 year old young player who has the skill but is still learning the NHL game. He's not a bust at all, and really I'd rather have him than Garland on the team. He's as tenacious as Garland, better on the boards, the finishing will come. His defensive play has gotten a lot better, and really should be on the opening night roster. We just have an overload of wingers, and one of Garland or Beau really needs to get traded, but good luck with that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIWATT Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Lafferty is a pissant. I love this move. The team definitely needs more Max Lapieriere, and less Lick MyDerriere . These kinds of players have been missing since 2010. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the better, as far as I'm concerned, at least if you have any aspirations of playoff success. The only slightly concerning trend is the fact that all the guys we have recently added who have some willingness to engage in fights (i.e., Lafferty, Soucy & Cole) are rated as losing basically all of their fights on hockeyfights.com Ah well, beggars can't be choosers, and starting to add more of these types of players is still a big step in the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just setup a post practice hockey fight boot camp once a week with Tocchet and Foote as the instructors and these guys will be winning scraps like they’re the Hansen brothers.

Huggy Bear Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Wonder if part of having Hirose & McWard on the roster today is to create flexibility to acquire 2 defensemen via trade or waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 2 hours ago, Huggy Bear said: yes, by 5pm EST Thanks, I was wondering about exactly what time rosters had to be declared. I wonder if some of the recent player movement is just to maximize LTIR space. Once that is done, it would not surprise me to see some further movement to set the actual playing roster. For example, Hirose has a slightly higher cap hit than Wolanin, so having Hirose on today's roster instead of Wolanin increases LTIR space. It does not make sense for either McWard or Hirose to be in the press box, so either they play or they get sent down. Also, this is the easiest time of year to clear waivers so this was the best time to send Wolanin and Studnicka down, even if they get called back up. Anyway, the next 48 hours will be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The defense pairings are awful if they put Hughes and Hronek together. The rest of the d pairings are just pathetic. Good luck against McDavid and Drasaitl. Myers is a 7th defenseman at best on a hood team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
