Non sequitur, @stawns. Losing him sucks, but my point is more about seeing if VP92 is ready to come up full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see by his stats that he has the offensive game. Do you think he can play the game the way Tocc's wants them to play? Tocc has mentioned giving him a call-up in the near future. It sure would be fabulous for the team if Bains can make the jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bains is an excellent two way player. And not only was he Abby's only all star selection, he won the all star MVP. He might not get the call, but he should 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments posted above from his team say different. Teammates always love that guy, that's one of the reasons I took on that role myself. However, that's not the same as it being Smart. If you could go back, knowing it could be a significant injury, would you tell DJ to just skate away or would you let him fight and suffer a significant injury? it didn't stop the original play from happening, that's for sure Edited February 16 by stawns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Shackleford Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Sucks to lose Joshua. Easy to point out in hindsight that DJ shouldn't have fought. He'd probably want a do over on the punch but not the fight as he's always willing to go. Wonder if Joshua going on LTIR is enough to get us Tanev with no retention.

And we don't know, for sure, that's what it is either Dr. Google says 1-2 months. Being prime age and athlete he could be good to go just in time for playoffs. Trying to put a positive spin on things, we get a bit of cap savings which open up options to add to the roster while testing the depth before we start playing for keeps.

Miss Korea Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 3 minutes ago, elvis15 said: 100% he cracked a finger. We saw Nick Foligno take a few weeks off before coming back. Hopefully he's back sooner than later. This is a massive opportunity for Bains - we can see if that improvement translates in the NHL. Also a chance for Kessel to up his fitness and slot right in.
