Interesting to see this happen. Bennett and Monahan getting some time to get life together maybe? Not happy with Quine? Neal still not good to go?

Or is he here merely to eat popcorn (again).

I have Bennett as a depth guy in h2h fantasty........is he going to be out for a while?

 

[crackdown44]

God damn he’s going to have some solid reward miles

 

[DCDM]

Hope his hotel is close to the airport.

I guess Dube won't be getting called up then?

Unlimited call ups in playoffs. I imagine they’re just letting him finish up in Stockton, who won’t be making the playoffs

Supposedly day to day, but teams are cagey about injuries at the best of times, and this close to playoffs... who knows.

I expect to see more of this. We clinched a playoff spot and have more or less clinched home ice, with Vegas being 10 points back. If we have guys that aren’t 100%, it’s important to get them healthy earlier and back to playing before the playoffs start.

Still want that first spot in the West.

Big difference between playing the Yotes in round one, and playing MAF and Vegas in round one

If Monahan is out for a bit, having another right shot centre/winger around is good insurance.

 

[Mr Snrub]

I’d like to see Lazar get a game or two. His kind of compete level is an ideal fit in Peters’ system.

 

[Corpus X]

This time it will be different.

 

[FlamerForLife]

He'll only play if both Bennett and Monahan are unable to go. Since it's an emergency recall, we still have 2 more regular recalls available until the playoffs start.

I think everyone would but realistically I’d rather have home ice and healthy in the first round, than home ice and banged up in the 2nd round....if it came down to it. Plus the Sharks will be doing the same thing, so I think there’s a still a good shot.

 

[CraigsList]

This is an emergency recall, no? Since Bennett and Monahan are out?

Yup, we still have two regular season recalls left.

Curtis Lazar has been recalled, sexually.

I've always liked Lazar- I hope he gets in to a game and gets a chance to shine. Could be a great bottom line option moving forward if his confidence has returned.

I agree. He deserves a game, at least. On paper, I think he’s a better option than Hathaway, but I’d like a chance to see how he fits with the big club.

I like Hathaway too, I just think Lazar has more tools overall. The key being whether or not he can put it together in the nhl level. Garnet is older but was much more dominant at the AHL level.

Hathaway has been decent this year but he’s never been dominant at anything. I think in a lot of ways Lazar’s season has been far more impressive than Hathaway’s 18 game hot streak. It’s more or less splitting hairs, Hathaway has been fine and is a good PK guy. I just think Lazar is the better hockey player but that doesn’t necessarily mean the best fit, which is why I’d like to have a look at him.

On paper I like the Quine - Lazar - Hathaway line... a little bit of everything. Quine brings the offense, Lazar brings the speed, Hathaway brings the grit, all three bring some serious tenacity.

I like it too. Almost wish we could see Lazar on Thursday but I doubt the emergency status stays that way.

Depends how "crappy" monahan is feeling...
