Being benched for a game seems like a tough lesson to me.

I get missing a meeting or two at the very start of your career. I’m not sure where the line is, but the back half of your second season is definitely past it.

Everyone did a great job of moving the pile a few feet to the right to keep Romanov clear. I love the crowd control from Heiskanen. The one islander spraying him in the face though, that guy gets an eye roll.

The Hardman slot in the game day roster is probably open.

Does that even qualify as slight, one single goal?

The very first team on the priority list claimed him. These are the spots where I would love to know how many claims were made. It’s also the time where I’m waiting for the first “you suck Kevyn, why didn’t you claim him”.

Kesselring: DNP If they can start getting some return there, the deal really looks that much better.

Right, if Lindy really wants that role, Dunne is a better fit. But do you keep him up over a Rosen or Östlund? edit: Hey @SDS, if we are going to have that filter on Östlund, how about one to put the accent on the "e" in Rosen?

Am I losing my mind or were there stories during the summer that Marjala chose not to sign?

If they get a bunch of returns, they’re going to have to though. They’ll need the roster spot. Geertsen goes and then they’ll need to cast off a goalie. Even after that, they’re still need one more spot if they suddenly have Norris, Zucker, and Benson. A player currently dressing will have to be sent back down. Dunne seems like the obvious choice, but I could see him handed the Geertsen role that Lindy clearly wants on the team.

Personally, I think his biggest value is as a trade chip, but the waiver eligibility doesn’t guarantee full time NHL play. He’s going to have to earn that time here or anywhere else and could very easily wind up as a journeyman bouncing around all over the place. … or he pulls the Pominville right now and claims his spot. I really have no idea what to expect here.

I don’t know if it’s here, but I do think both Swedes are full time NHLers next year.

Of course, but how is he still around when he can’t even get on the ice when they’re down 15 forwards?

It’s kind of funny to read these projected lineup changes when you realize that Geertsen still hidden away on the roster.

That shot could have won him a car during the intermission.
