Matt Ross: Denisenko Claimed by VGK

How about Lucas Carlsson? He had a monster year with Charlotte last year, why can’t he stick with the big boys?

It’s a good question. Many of us want to see him get an extended look, but it seems the FLA brass doesn’t want to give it to him.

What would you say are the main weaknesses holding him back? Too soft? Too slow? Defensively challenged? I don’t know much more about him than his stats, but they were eye-popping last year: 20-34-54, +24 in 61gp. And yet, he still passed through waivers.

He’s played well when given the chance (IMO) and seems to have a bit of a knack for blocking shots (always a positive). But not sure why he’s not promoted yet.

Vegas waived Denisenko today. If they want to, FL could take him back and send him straight to Charlotte now.
I guess we’ll see if they’d rather have the cap space

I saw that and am a bit confused…why did Vegas waive him immediately?

Panthers didn’t take Denisenko back. Safe to say Zito is done with him.

Pens claimed Ludwig I thought he might make the team, at least get a chance in a few regular season games before risking him to waivers.

No great loss

After watching last night game between Tampa and Nashville. I have to say that I miss Brunette's run and gun offense. Even in the dying seconds of the third period he made it interesting. Maurice doesn't do it for me. and Zito made a mistake getting rid of Brunette!
