I guess JB has to decide if he wants to keep WD or Pedan.

could Pedan be the 7th dman next season? If he is here at training camp, would he clear waivers? if it is predicted he would, is it even worth keeping him around?

are there any other clubs interested in him this season? does he have any value?

as per the adventure stuff, not too many guys go from ahl to nhl without making any mistakes along the way. but the decision is whether it is worth the mistakes to see if it will work out?

Our d has been a bit of a bright spot, we haven't fallen apart when we saw injuries.

corradomanagement.

Most of us here are not WD fans ,but the players sure like him

See if his play picks up when he is down in Utica and hits the score sheet a bit more. Utica is rolling right now.

I wish we would take guys out of the lineup because they haven't been bringing enough offense.

Just hoping Pedan gets his shot or JB flips him for a pick. time is running out.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having depth on the farm.

It has been interesting. juggling win now with development.

and the nhl isn't a developmental league stuff too.

if you are playing, you likely appreciate WD.

such a fine line with the results we are getting.

Nope but nice if the depth didn't need waivers though at risk of losing them if they do show something.

Maybe I'm looking at it from what I'd want to ideally see.

Guys on the farm playing well and getting rewarded is great, but hopefully those same players are waiver exempt.

When we have to start exposing those guys to waivers, there is a bit more risk. Other teams look at players playing well in the ahl and wonder if they could add anything to their nhl clubs.

Biega.

Guessing Biega will sit when Larsen is cleared to play.

lots of juggling.

why did they even recall Pedan if they didn't intend to play him? or it was the reaction to the 5 dmen dressed.

maybe if he was dressed, he would only play 5 mins a game.

( I just want to see some of these guys play. almost wanting to see guys get injured because that is the only way we will see guys get a shot.)

I think it was important to play Biega to make sure we had a cap complient Dman in case Benning finds a way to protect or trade Sbisa

So I made a bet before the year started with a friend that

Jimmy Vesey point total at the end of the season. Bet was over/under 28 points.
I took the under.

He's now got 19 points in 46 games. Only 4 points in his last 20 games. I'm pretty pissed off that the NYR started so insanely.

What do you think are my chances of winning this bet still?

yeah.

I guess I'm ranting a bit. lots of factors to consider.

I'd rather see Pedan given a shot and fail, but maybe if he is not given that shot, lost on waivers and fails with another team it is no different.

Who wins the bet if he has 27.75 points and Don comes in and bumps it up to 28?

unfortunately I don't think you can get .75 points in the nhl. 28 is a tie. So I would rather leave it at 27.75

OR until a coaching change happens. Too worried about the expansion draft. Worry about that in the summer.

Even I am beginning to like him a little. Some in game moves he really looks like an idiot and you wonder what the hell is he thinking.
