Lou Lamoriello says #Isles will place LW Andrew Ladd (LTIR/knee) on waivers for the purpose of re-assigning him to Bridgeport (AHL). Lou says organization did not see enough from Ladd in five-game conditioning stint to believe he's ready to return to NHL. Lou believes he'll clear

Apparently Lou didn't either

Lou and Barry are not playing.

Neither is Ladd

I guess his veteran presence will be good for the young guys down in Bridgeport, if there is a silver lining.

So glad they realized ladd isnt a fit on this roster and I'm so happy we have a real gm and front office that realizes it. Now if 7 would (frank) right off life would be grand

If he looked bad in Bport and stayed in AHL for rest of season (lets say) wonder if Ladd would consider hanging them up? But also know too much money left to pass on.

He will actually make more playing in ahl b/c there is no withhold tax... Redden 2.

What Lou didn't say was... "If there is a God in heaven some moron will claim him.."

I would love a Ladd Barzal Kovy line

Ladd would pot like 28 and Kovy 35

My guess is if he doesn't make back up to the NHL this year, he will spend rest of the contract on LTIR. He'll still get paid and he can stay home with his family instead of riding the buses in the AHL

Ladd can always teach the players how to get a crazy contract.

Where's Ben? Usually he pumps out 4-5 blogs a day

Of note here -- LL says Mitch Vande Sompel, injured in training camp, is likely out for the year.

That's rough, out for the year from a training camp injury.

Also from #Isles Lou Lamoriello: Bridgeport D Mitch Vande Sompel (arm), injured during training camp, will likely miss the rest of the season.
LW Matt Martin (IR/lower body) could rejoin practice as soon as Friday and F Tom Kuhnhackl (IR/lower body) has resumed skating on his own

Also from #Isles Lou Lamoriello regarding Bridgeport roster:
D Bode Wilde (ankle) could return this weekend after being out since the start of training camp
C Bobo Carpenter (shoulder), who also missed camp, should be back "soon."
