Scottysabres Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Olofsson injury replacement? From what I remember of him, he played with some energy, no? Quote

DarthEbriate Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 The question now is Wilson in the lineup while Frolik's visa goes through... or does ERod get a chance to skate? If ERod/agent had kept quiet, with Olofsson and Skinner out, he could be skating on a line with Eichel and Reino. That'd be good for stats and his next contract. But alas... maybe he just continues to sit and stew. 2 Quote

Hawerchuk Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Nothing against Wilson, the guy skates hard, but if this is the reinforcement... YIKES!! What about CJ Smith? He seems a better fit here. No? Edited January 3, 2020 by Hawerchuk Quote

He seems a better fit here. No? Could be, it seems he just returned from his long injury, came back on the 27th and then missed the 28th.. claimed illness? Perhaps he's not quite ready to go. It would be Thompson, but he's still out too. 1 Quote
Kruppstahl Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Frolik is running into visa issues going from Canada to USA as a Czech citizen. Once that is sorted Wilson will be back in Rochester. Quote
Pimlach Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Did Smith clear waivers and get picked up for Rochester? Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Scott Wilson was always my favorite Beach Boy. 1 Quote

Zamboni Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 As long as he’s no relation to Mike Wilson ... I’m good ... go get em kid! Quote

They obviously signed him and brought him up just to be physical/fight in that one game and maybe a few others if they want just that for a game in the future. You can say that’s stupid or pointless or whatever, but the plan with Dalton Smith was pretty clear. Edited January 4, 2020 by Curt Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 4 hours ago, erickompositör72 said: lol It is funny. It's also true. ERod is making $2M because of arbitration. He had 25 points in 48 games a couple years back and 29 points last year. His production says 30-45 points per full season. If ERod were to play with Eichel/Reinhart for 15 games this season (the entire duration of Olofsson's injury, as well as PP time) AND... he gets it together and gels with his old college linemate at 1 ppg --- that's huge for ERod to not only stay in the NHL, but stay at the $2M range. Not with us; we're not bringing him back despite that RFA status --- any maybe not elsewhere --- but that can be his asking price based on production. What we're seeing this year is a 2-way $700k player. Quote

He'd been a Czech citizen employee of a Canadian company. He'll now be a Czech citizen employee of a US based one. Not an immigration lawyer nor play one on the internet. But apparently, working full time in the US requires different paperwork than just working a few days here. 1 Quote

I remember reading an article a couple of years ago that change in laws in both countries would make this a lot more paperwork intensive and no longer a “rubber stamp.” Quote
