Good. Some fans want to see as many shiny new toys as they can right away but that’s not the way to run a team.

I would much rather see them send the guys they can down to Utica. Sit them down and say we’d know you’re NHL players, you will be here next year, there is an opportunity to play meaningful games and win a playoff championship. Then, to round out the NHL roster grab whoever is available to keep the bench warm.

Solves two problems - kids play in “winning culture”, team tank resumes.

What'd you think of Gaudette?
- LeftCoaster

Don’t think he had much chemistry with his linemates. Pretty meh game from him overall honestly but it’s just 1 game.

I agree 100% but outside of Virtanen and Gaudette, they don’t really have any talented kids to send down lol

Tanbir wants to shut Sutter down because he is scoring and trying to win.

Are we going to get to see any college free agents? Quite a few have signed with others teams.

Tanbir speaks only for our "special" fans that can't leave their mom's basement. Any player that has a nagging injury should be shut down, but otherwise ice the best product.

Is it smart to sign the ones no one else wanted?

I think it is pretty conclusive we will finish close to where we are now.

Fans hear something and literally take it to one end of the spectrum or the other. Then once it plays itself out. They are happy the expectation was exceeded or sad expectations were not met. No medium.

They could send Virtanen, Motte, Goldobin, Boucher and Sautner. They could assign Hutton for a conditioning stint.

They can also send jokinen. He is eligible I believe and would clear waivers.

Signed last year with the Kings. Was one of those last minute no one wanted signings. 25 points in 75 games. Not bad for free.

Then who plays with the Canucks? lol

Teams only get 3 call ups after the TDL, no? Already used a couple of them I believe.

I don't think injuried players will be back. Gaunce was the only one who could come back.

Sign some scrub from Europe, play Biega as a forward, get Nilly in a game on defense, who really cares at this point.
