What team could use Flip?


I bet he gets claimed (sounds crazy I know).


Maybe CHI w/o Toews/Strome/Dach ?
OTT?
Another team that has a trade lined up & needs fairly cheap C/W Cup Vet depth?


SY making room for Eichel.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

No way he gets claimed

but good on you Stevie

 

[FabricDetails]

Larkin ready to come back?

 

[Tetsuo]

Salary cap move. They can knock off some of his daily salary if he's on the Taxi Squad. While I wish this had happened sooner, hopefully we see some more young guns getting icetime. It's going to be a rough month regardless.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

So is this going to be his final year in the NHL, then? UFA in the offseason, 36 years old, offense has pretty much dried up.

Had a fun career with his first stint in Detroit, though.

Larkin ready to come back?

 

[DetroitRed]

I didn't expect this so soon, especially because Filp is kinda one of Steve's guys, but I like all Steve's waivs so far including this one.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Nothing but a money transaction. Just like the other vets that got waived. He'll be back in the lineup in no time.

Oh shit, my Filppula jersey is useless again!

You might as well continue to play guys like Rasmussen, Smith, Svech and sit Flip, Neilsen, and Helm.

As sad as it may be, Helm is actually moderately useful. I'd sit Flip, Nielsen, and DeKeyser, if anyone.

Someone could take a swing at him for some relatively cheap forward depth.

I was referring to forwards though however I would bring up Lindstom and sit DeKeyser.

Let DDK rebound, he looks better the last 2 gp. He could fetch a 2nd+ if/when healthy. Or keep him, our LD is barren next season. Trade Nemeth, Staal @TDL.

Protect Hronek, Lindstrom, Stech.
Resign Merrill 1-2 yrs/cheap after ED. Add Seider in Sept.

?-Seider
Merrill-Hronek
Djoos-Stecher
?-Lindstrom

? = DDK? Cholo? UFA? Trade? (Mantha for Hanafin)= Nobody elite, but decent #1-7.

Let Cholo be #8 if he's not claimed, traded or waived.

I thought Dekeyser actually looked pretty good the last couple games. Up until that point I felt like he was gonna break in half if someone touched him but he seemed to make some miraculous recovery in the last week or so.

He definitely has, people tend to get dragged into tired talking points even when they aren't valid anymore. Wasn't on the ice for a goal last night, didn't do anything all that great offensively but he hasn't been bullied like he was before his "conditioning benching"

 

[Henkka]

It's a caphit transaction. No difference in paid money.

Why are we having so much discussion about this waiver/taxi squad-rotation, which has been totally meaningless and all teams doing the same?

 

[PullHard]

Just want to echo Hammett and Henkka that waivers don't really mean anything this season as plenty of serviceable guys have gone on it and not gotten claimed

Maybe we could just have one universal waiver thread as our guys keep going up and down? This isn't really discussion worthy IMO, even if he gets claimed (lol, as sad as that sounds)

 

[Henkka]

Since the season start:

- Svechnikov was waived
- Biega was waived
- DeKeyser was waived
- Nielsen was waived
- Filppula is waived

Taxi squad moves have been even more meaningless.

Too much social media boredom.

There were a few times last night where he looked... rough, at best. I forget who it was coming down the right wing boards, but DK was backing in, and his turn was, for lack of a better term, f***ing awful. Super stiff and really late, it's like he was trying not to hurt himself.

I don't know, I don't see the improvement everyone else seems to, but it's certainly not a "tired talking point."

Helm-LGD-Erne line is the only line that's actually looked good in the past couple of games. Why the Helm hate?

Sure he can't score goals, but his futility is sorta entertaining and it's useful to have one line that can kill some clock without getting scored on.

I would agree that line has been solid lately.

 

[Retire91]

nothing to see here just another taxi squad cap related circle jerk.

Larkin ready to come back?

Blash said that Bertuzzi, Larkin and Stecher are skating again at LCA. So probably getting closer to returning for all 3.

I hope so.
