Skinner-Johansson-Gaudreau would work just fine, whether Johansson is a natural center or not.

That said, the Flames are not trading him.

Gaudreau makes 6.7mill a year, it woul have to be a big contract + going back

You realize no one in the organization ever said “roster surgery” right?

It was in an article written by someone who doesn’t cover the team

- sbroads24


I was not aware of the etymology, no.

Attention fans: roster surgery is indefinitely postponed due to never actually being a thing

and Sobotka to LTIR to make space

But okoposo isn’t on ltir? Wouldn’t the move of both there have saved Gilmore from waivers... curious if he gets claimed...

If I were them I wouldn't trade Kapanen straight up for Risto let alone the rest of the package.

25 goals between Pominville/Tage/Berglund last year

11 so far between Mojo/Vesey/Olofsson

So we might add 10-15 goals this year if they can combine for 35.

Surgery! An extra goal every 8 games

- jcragcrumple



Pommer - 16 goals
Vesey - 0 goals

I'd say this is a big change

LTIR can be retroactive, I think. They can move him there if things get worse, or they end up not expecting him to be back for a while.

Footage of a brouhaha while off-season training at home involving SSTT. The boy shows some heart. Never knew a giraffe would throw down like that.

I want a center. But I’d be ok with this as long as Ralph doesn’t play him with anyone from Lockport.
- Gr8daygo


JUST OKAY WITH THIS? Do you know how good Johnny Hockey is? Plus Jack's best friend. In saying that, no way they're trading him

Okposo isn't on LTIR, he's on IR. He doesn't count towards the 23 man roster limit, so it really has no impact on Gilmour. He could get claimed, but probably won't. I won't lose any sleep over it. They really never intended to play him.

im still assuming he intended to have at least 1, most likely 2, trades of defensemen and gilmour was the bench depth

It is retroactive, but it's really just a cap move. All we're doing with the Sobotka relief is paying for the injury replacements: Asplund, Lazar, and Thompson (who could go on LTIR if needed as well).

Sabres don't play til Sunday at Panthers? Are they already in South FL? Rest up! i.e. Get lots of sun and do some offshore fishing, lol. Panthers have been home for four straight games, but now travel to play in Carolina Saturday night, then right back home for Sabres late Sunday afternoon. Don't miss it, Panthers games have been very entertaining, neither team is ever out of it.
