Lauko has played 41 games and is still learning the nuances of NHL hockey, he`ll never be a sniper but his ceiling, IMO, hasn`t been reached yet, Boqvist has almost 200 games and has been a pick I`m sure the Devils would have liked a redo onBoqvist! he certainly has not had a lot of time with the main group. I hope he plays. he has a higher floor than Lauko. I can't imagine him finding a role available other than fourth liner, but he should get a chance to take the spot.
Mac can come off of it tomorrow and Zacha is out until at least Saturday. IR is just a cap saving move.Mac and Zacha on IR....recall Brown again? Ugg
ah gotcha, phewMac can come off of it tomorrow and Zacha is out until at least Saturday. IR is just a cap saving move.
I really don't get the Brown callup. The team is starved for offense, so they bring in a guy with zero offensive accumen. Hard pressed to believe that one of Merkulov / McLaughlin / Farinacci would be considered a bigger regression over Brown.Mac and Zacha on IR....recall Brown again? Ugg

It's ok Derek take your time wotherspoon holding the fort till you can come.Today’s Globe:
Forbort needs more time
Absent from the Bruins’ lineup since being placed on long-term injured reserve on Dec. 7, veteran blue liner Derek Forbort remained sidelined on the first day he was eligible to return.
Forbort did not make the trip, remaining home to continue his rehab. He also will not be with the club for Tuesday’s game at Columbus.
“He’s still a ways away,” said Montgomery. “He’s not day to day. He’s a week [away], anyways.”
Forbort’'s continued absence, though not necessarily a positive for the overall composition of the defense corps, aids general manager Don Sweeney in managing the club’s salary cap. Forbort, 31, is in the final year of a three-year pact that carries a $3 million annual cap hit.
Forbort, dealing with a groin injury much of the season, remains “off payroll” in cap terms, allowing Sweeney to use those dollars elsewhere, such as bringing up rookie center Georgii Merkulov from Providence. Merkulov, paid $80,000 in the AHL, jumped to $925,000 with his promotion on Friday (all numbers excluding his annual signing bonus of $92,500).
Forbort last suited up Dec. 3, logging 18:09 in ice time against the Blue Jackets.

This has to be good listing them day to day.Any news? I'm on pin and needles here.
But doesn't sound serious sounds like very good news .So the day to day is probably not accurate
Or it's a placeholder until they get a clear picture from the doctor.But doesn't sound serious sounds like very good news .
I agreeOr it's a placeholder until they get a clear picture from the doctor.
