8 D on the roster is the issue.

So if a player have to go down, especially as injured players are coming back, seems more likely that WiFi is the odd man out. And if that is the. case, then he can take that time to learn to be on the PP and enhance his offensive skills.
- Mashadar

not really, if the 8th is Wideman and he never plays. keep him for practices, it's easier to practice with 8 dmen.

if you want to play all 8 of them... then yeah, not ideal and a kid would have to go to Laval

zero important. only 1 year left after this one, minimum salary so burried and not counting on the cap... couldn't care less if he gets claimed or not.
- fidopro

oh I definitely won't complain if he gets claimed, but he does fit in that 7th D role nicely, since you don't have to worry about giving him ice time or not, you can insert him in the lineup only when needed, and he brings a bit of veteran experience that can become helpful in case injuries start piling up all of a sudden.

of course it's possible. just have to waive Wideman
- fidopro

don't see that happening.

It is a roster spot/limit issue, more than anything.

That i why I do not see him being waived.

Low cost veteran insurance policy, that will not complain if he is in the press box.

they could go with 8 D and 13 F. it's not really important since Laval is close by, they can recall a guy anytime, like they did with Petlick this week.
it's a management decision. since they said development is their #1 objective.... let see what they will do

of course, that works only if they have forwards on IR

Side note: Are these Devils for real?

Another win today.

15W and 3L with a +26 goal differential, 8 point lead in their division already.

That is pretty impressive.

I think this is the first time that the devils are actually an entertaining team to watch lol

also, the bruins just won't (frank)ing die.

Yeah, not the traditional smother trap they are/were known for all the time.

impressive enough that some teams must start to worry.
PIT, WASH... and teams in the Atlantic who thought they could get in without finishing top3.

- Pat1993

that too yes. like Mtl, they were built around a goalie...
and like Mtl they were boring to death.

I dunno, they definitely set the bar with that Chris Neil jersey retirement.

It's probably better for ARZ to play away anyway.

I'm still wondering who within the organization took that decision, I can't imagine everyone was on board with this loll...

speaking of the senaturds, did you end up going to Kanata? how was the game and/or lemon party?

The game was close and competitive.

Lemon party was really close
