lmao. “You didn’t offer me 64 mil, you offered me 62.4!!!” derp

This is the first offseason in a while I feel that Adams has the goalies in a good spot to start the year. THIS is finally a “what could Adams have even done?” situation, if the goalies didn’t pan out. I don’t KNOW that UPL would replicate or come close to his performance last season, but logically we should be betting on him, in a team building /roster construction sense, to do so. I don’t really think we can afford to hedge, if you take my meaning. Levi is a fine backup under that prism, particularly supported by Reimer. Components A and B are confidence inducing at least the point I wouldn’t prioritize keeping Reimer at the expense of the roster as a whole Obv at end of day KA is still liable for the actual results at the position, but I don’t think one could argue Adams plan at G for this season was a misguided one *at the time he instituted it* - unfortunately for GMs the job description is to make the right choices - not merely choices that are defensible within the moment they are made

I think I agree. It’s sort of a “if BOTH Levi and UPL are incapable of shouldering a starter’s workload we are screwed anyways” type deal. It’s probably time to pick the best two and let it ride If they can’t make a roster move at G with conviction, by now, they have an issue with the stable of rostered goalies

It’s such a daunting consideration in a way, after hearing guys like Jake Allen talk first-hand about how difficult it makes performing on all 3 goalies in question. It doesn’t just suck, it’s risky.

I feel like we are way, way past “meaningful games in March” being a reasonably aim tbh, but to each there own obviously

How do you see the goalies shaking out?

Nope. That section refers to players who have been “loaned”. A CHL player signing a contract mid-season is by definition not on lone, according to cba as I understand it the player would have to be / could only be claimed under the designations I listed

I’ll agree to disagree, simply because every single place I see the rule listed it’s not what you say - so I don’t think I’m confusing anything. (the link has the full rule, one of the conditions of an emergency recall in general is being cap strapped), but if you post an updated version of the official rules I quoted, I’d be happy to change my mind if I’m simply wrong otherwise, we can always see how it shakes out in season

“NHL teams can perform an emergency recall if at any point they A) fall below either 18 healthy, game-available skaters or two healthy, game-available goaltenders on their active roster and B) have less than the league minimum salary plus $100,000 in available cap space.” it’s AND, not OR https://canucksarmy.com/news/how-emergency-recalls-work-see-canucks-current-roster-crisis#

This isn’t at all the rules I read One of the stipulations of using an emergency recall AT ALL is that you don’t have cap space for an ordinary recall Anyways this is SO BORING lol I apologize for my part in this discussion to the board at large. I defer to taro from here in

I can buy that; but in a time frame necessary to save the current season, as it no-doubt needs to be saved, given the reason we are making the move in your hypothetical? That’s Peregrin Took territory lol 3 of those are made up for sure Maybe 4

I spoke earlier in the summer though pre draft and FA and offseason moves about gaining an advantage on other teams where we can. The theory of rebooting the bottom 6 makes sense as a secondary play in theory. If we can be better than other others from guys 7 to 12, it’s still going to go a ways when the goal is merely mediocre ie 16/32 no stone unturned

We could be maximizing those deals right now, ya Alas We’d rather wait until none of them are cheap

Unless we don’t have the cap space for a regular recall, we won’t be calling up Ratzlaff

Sabres would also need to not have the cap space available for an ordinary recall - ie for all intents and purposes we can’t / won’t be doing an emergency recall Never mind 3. We aren’t emergency recalling a CHL player this year

Literally just google that you want to watch nhl games online during game day and you’ll be fine

I believe starting at emergency recall 3 lol wRoNg

They can, but they can’t be called up to play mid season They’d have to be on roster to start it

I like how the sweaters look in that clip. Little less BRIGHT

It’s not 1974 They aren’t putting their cigarettes out and throwing away their McDonald’s wrappers on their way into camp ^

2 isn’t an option, it never is. To make the playoffs you succeed in spite of injuries not because you avoided them

I’ve also reinstated your X

Excuse me I now run the Pesci racket in this town
