Chris Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Put MAB back there, he can't be any worse then the other guys. Call up Trotter and put him with Cammy and Pleks. He is scoring a ton in Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 If they want to play with 20 they need to call up someone i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 And they already said they would call up someone. I would like Weber to make it to the NHL. How has his progress been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yannick Weber, as per RDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I find it surprising that they called up a D and not a forward like White or Trotter. Weber must be impressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I find it surprising that they called up a D and not a forward like White or Trotter. Weber must be impressing. Well, he's presumably high up the depth chart as a D to break in in 2010-11. Hopefully he can look more convincing this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 A Paccioretty would really need to stay there will be called back ? B D'agostini is in the middle of two weeks conditionning. For money reasons he's back. C Trotter is the best offensive player in Hamilton. I hope but doubt a call up. D White will get the call, Metropolit playing second line :puke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hab29RETIRED Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 And the winner is...B, as D'Agostini was recalled earlier tonight. I don't get this at all. The guy can go do down for two weeks, why not let him finish out his 2 weeks and give someone else a chance??? I'm hoping a week was enough to wake the kid up and straighten him out, but I'm not holding my breath on that faint hope! They really should have given a shot to one of the other kids.

Likely the cap - D'Agostini has counted against it throughout the conditioning stint. With so precious room to spare, even an AHL'er coming up for a week puts a big hit on things. And before anyone asks, no, LTIR for Cammalleri won't really come into play unless a move to acquire a big salary player is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's a sad day when D'Agi is coming up to save the day. He has been miserable this year, actually other then a 7 game stint or so i have no idea why he is even in NHL. Any official word on Cammi? I haven't heard anything official. Waive D'Agi, call up Trotter, atleast he scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I really don't understand how injuries are not exempt from the salary cap? Is the thinking, teams could hold out players who are not really injured to save cap space? It's a sad day when D'Agi is coming up to save the day. He has been miserable this year, actually other then a 7 game stint or so i have no idea why he is even in NHL. Any official word on Cammi? I haven't heard anything official. Waive D'Agi, call up Trotter, atleast he scores. I'd rather have Pyatt and White up here, at least they hustled and showed heart. The current squad seems to have lost their identity, or never had one. I cringe at the thought of what Gomez is being paid. If he had any pride, he would renegotiate his contract for less money.

Chris Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Why, Gomez is the least of the habs problems, contract or not. I think it's fair to say Hamrlik, Spacek, Mare, Gil, Lapierre, Metro are all making too much money for there production. D'Agi is a waste of a roster spot and salary he does nothing either. Many habs are over paid for what they bring to the table. I am actually surprised Martin didn't bring up another grinder or defenseman, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, I know it's not Gomez fault he is over paid by close to 4m, but that extra would get you the 2 3rd line grinders you covet Chris. I know poeple are saying oh his defensive play doesn't show up in the stats. Lately he's been a turnover machine directly linked to goals against.

Chris Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Grinders and pluggers are cheap. The habs do have a few of them playing in hamilton, unfortunately JM would rather play worthless players currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I would look to Calgary, they have a few of them still on the roster. I liked Kosto but i would rather get some grinders who win the occaisional fight. Moss, Prust, Nystrom, etc. Torres is out there. There are nemeous coming up UFA at the end of the year. It would make Moen happy to have some other gritty guys around i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they LaRaque I had thought they were getting a dominating force. I don't think they need a heavyweight like him, but an agaitator that can back it up, too bad Laps doesn't man up, heck he doesn't even agaitate anymore. Downie wouldn't be a bad fit either, but seems like he's having some good luck on the top 2 lines in TB now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I really don't understand how injuries are not exempt from the salary cap? Is the thinking, teams could hold out players who are not really injured to save cap space? Exactly. We'd see a plethora of convenient phantom injuries to all sorts of high salaried players, just as a team needs cap space. Coincidence? I think so. I'd rather have Pyatt and White up here, at least they hustled and showed heart. The current squad seems to have lost their identity, or never had one. I cringe at the thought of what Gomez is being paid. If he had any pride, he would renegotiate his contract for less money. Renegotiating a contract is prohibited under the CBA; it's not a matter of pride, it simply can't be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
