Here's an interesting scenario....

Do you send him down to let him get top line minutes in Rochester for the first say, 20ish games of the year

OR

Do you keep him here on the 3rd line with guys like Gionta and McGinn playing about 12 minutes a night with special teams time

Which is better for his overall development?

Kane ROR/Ike Ennis
Moulson Ike/ROR Reinhart
McGinn/Foligno Lion Gionta

This is best for everyone's development.

I think Gerbe's waiver idea is the way to go. Sabres have first dibs so if say the habs do end up putting tinordi on waivers it might be a good idea.

Damn. That's crazy. Did we lose more than just Guhle tonight? Because Pysyk didn't play, so we had at least 1 healthy guy available for the next game

But would that leave them at exactly 6 right now? I can't even keep track of all the D injuries now. No Bogo or Gorges. No Guhle. McCabe is hurt. Ruhwedel, too.

So they only have Risto, Franson, Donovan, Pysyk, Colaiacavo, and Weber at the moment? Is that right? Am I missing anyone?

What an amazing feeling it is to know Jack Eichel is here. I was excited for Reinhart, but Eichel is on another planet.

I want to personally thank BHH for motivating Swiss Cheese er I mean Lehner. What an astute motivator he is knowing Lehner reads these boards. Looks like it worked. I mean after all Kanes shoulder looks healthy, ROR signed a long term deal and now Lehner proved he isn't cheese after all...his mind games are working

Talks on for Yandle

That would definitely be an exciting move, but at what cost?

Foligno and a second...you know my typical trade proposal haha. But I don't want to give up a top 6 forward or a 1st round pick for a UFA to be

Rangers have under a million dollars in cap space and they need to pay Kreider, Hayes, Miller, after this season. Kinda like a Boychuk, Leddy scenario maybe?

I say f*ck it and just go get Rick Nash. We would contend for the cup

Yandle only has a year left. And his hit is a cool 2.6 I believe.

IMO we would have to be giving them someone they covet

Johan Larsson had a 3 point game against the Rangers last year

With that D? Assuming Lehner can hold up that is.

I believe our top 6 will be lethal in a year or two

Risto Yandle
Pysyk Franson
Healthy body healthy body

That could be a really good top 4 to go along with a nasty top 6

I'll know more tomorrow hopefully

Report out there that Schenn is available for a 3rd (someone on the Leafs board said MSN is reporting it).

$2.6 is half so you might be right
