simonus Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Per Team990. I guess he takes Laraque's 4th line spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPetit Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Per Team990. I guess he takes Laraque's 4th line spot. He's a big guy, was playing defense when he was drafted if my memory is good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 File this callup under "you know things are bad when..." I never thought this guy would ever see the NHL. Then again, a kid from my hometown got two games in LA a couple years back after a similarly unstellar minor league career (same year as the Japanese goalie played). Huge amounts of injuries happen.

Chris Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Slightly off topic, is Wyman a fighter, grinder. I don't know anything about him. I was alos wondering about Conboy, Is he doing anything in Hamilton, he was a big tough physical guy at Michigan state. maybe lammy who seems to know Hamilton very well can let us know.

saskhab Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 He's not even the most cap conscious callup, so he must be doing something right. I would've thought a guy like Ryan Russell would get the call well before Wyman. J.T. is a checking forward, not a tough guy, who decent speed and size. He has filled in on D in the past when injuries had hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is Spacek out? Maybe they needed someone who couls play both positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Spacek out, Gomez out, both tonight and tomorrow. Just for reference: Season cap hit of our injured/suspended players: Just under $27m Season cap hit of our lineup tonight: Just over $32.8m The cap FLOOR is $40.4m.

KoZed Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Not -that- surprising. Noticing any trend yet? The kids who had good camps all got a call-up. Wyman has good size (6-2, 215), good speed and most of all he's a right-hand shot. He'll fill in for Laraque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I also see that Stewart was waived, and was not claimed. I'd say his conditioning assignment became a little more permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) Anything known about this guy? Edit: NCAA player, almost point per game in college, spent parts of last 3 seasons with the bulldogs and cyclones. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/viewast...9&pid=78670 Edited November 24, 2009 by bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 *crossing fingers so same goes for Chipchura* Nah, I think someone would take Chips. Sure, he hasn't done much to this point, but the fact that he had junior success (Captained Canada no less) helps his cause... where as Stewart is what he is... not a ton of potential there. I definitely laughed hearing that Wyman got the call up. I never expected much from him... but I'm anxious to see him get a shot. He's a big guy, and sounds like he's a grinder a la Moen. I'm wearing my Travis Moen #32 shirt right now... so I think I could like Wyman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing my Travis Moen #32 shirt right now... so I think I could like Wyman. I meant Chips being waived. I dont care if anyone picks him, really. Chipchura doesnt have any more future under Martin than Lats had, being passed over by Pyatt and White in a flash. He's like a 71-71-70 guy in HWL: nobody wants to give anything for them because they dont have anything special to offer, but they'll pick them off waivers anyway because they're decent depth. As for Wyman, I remember a user being high on him when he was still in the NCAA, but dont remember who. Was expecting him to be about what Pacioretty is now, big speedy powerforward winger. Doesnt have the hands or shot for that, but still it's good to see a long shot "arrive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was alos wondering about Conboy, Is he doing anything in Hamilton, he was a big tough physical guy at Michigan state. maybe lammy who seems to know Hamilton very well can let us know. Wyman is not a fighter....he takes very few penalties (only 4 mins in penalties this season). He is not in the "elite group" with players such as David Desharnais, Mike Glumac, or Mathieu Carle, but he's a good all-around player who can play defence as well as being a RW forward. He has had a good month of November with the Hamilton Bulldogs, scoring a couple of goals, getting some assists, and was voted as the Hardest Working Bulldog. Conboy is still a big physical player.....his statistics so far this season are not anything to write home about, but he can sure throw hard bodychecks into the corners!!
