per Mark via Twitter: Cole is out, but better than expected; Daley and Ritchie are ready, Jokipakka or Oleksiak will probably go back to AHL.

Which was weird why even call both back up like they did? Did both come to Dallas for practice today?

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Did both come to Dallas for practice today?

Would imagine so.

They also recalled both before practice began and with Trevor practicing today, sounds like the recall was just incase he couldn't go. But looks like he had a good practice.

 

[Satan]

It's like a contingency plan is some sort of new concept around here.

 

[beepeearr]

Yeah, I know what a contingency plan is, but if they weren't going to be in practice because they were still in Austin or traveling it would have made more sense to wait, which is why I asked if they were in practice. Its not like we dont mind calling up guys from CP on game day.

But yeah if they were both already in Dallas anyway, it makes way more sense to get both of them into practice.

 

[Captain Awesome]

All the callups makes me wonder, how are hockey players paid? Say a guy in the AHL gets called up for a day to practice, is he getting paid for that day at an NHL rate divided by the amount of days in the NHL season? Is he only paid if he plays in the game or injured for games at the NHL level?

I'm surprised that they would call up a guy they didn't necessarily need for practice. The few thousands of dollars that might cost could add up for the owner or just in general against the cap. They could have just as easily seen Daley in practice, decided he was good to go, and never called anyone up. Austin is so close by that they could have easily waited until after the practice to call someone up and saved some money in the process.

 

[FrailSwan]

BigG will have to answer that one. I think I've seen that they are payed on a prorated basis, but I'm not sure.

They get paid based on where he is on the roster. Not sure how it's divided up, but if you're called up by the big squad you get paid the NHL amount. And if sent down, the AHL amount.

 

[BigG44]

It's a daily rate calculated at close of business 5 PM Eastern. Cap Geek is down but there are typically 180 to 190 days in the season.

You divide their salary by that for daily rate. Ritchie's injury probably made him over $20K this past week. He would have been down in the AHL instead.

If Jokipakka gets sent to TX tomorrow, he'll only get one day of NHL pay.

 

[BigG44]

Sounds like a setback:

Brett Ritchie is in a red sweater this morning, so maybe not quite ready to come back yet.

 

[BigG44]

Lines:

Mike Heika ‏@MikeHeika

Stars lines this morning:

Benn-Seguin-Eaves
Horcoff-Spezza-Hemsky
Roussel-Eakin-Garbutt
Moen-Fiddler-Sceviour

Cole and McKenzie [Pretty sure he meant Ritchie obviously] in red

Will people rejoice or riot tonight?

Stars D-pairs this morning:

Goligoski-Klingberg
Daley-Demers
Schlemko-Benn
Jokipakka-Oleksiak

Not sure on order of last two pairs.

 

[BigG44]

Just my two cents, Jamie Oleksiak has probably played more games at RD than he has at LD in Dallas. Jordie Benn has not played one single game at RD.

 

[42]

Klingberg still on top PP or has Daley been put back there?

 

[Primetimey*]

Eaves and Horcoff in the top six? Yikes.. auto-loss.

Also I hope Joki/Oleksiak play over Schlem/Benn

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Don't count on it.

 

[Troy McClure]

You know the answer.

 

[42]

You know the answer.

I'm afraid I do

 

[beepeearr]

Didn't he play mostly RD two seasons ago? It was last year he mostly played LD when paired with Dillon. I am curious to see how the Daley Demers pairing works out this time. If Daley feels comfortable on the left maybe that will lead to Daley Klingberg or Daley Demers on the PP. Not a fan of the two righties on the Blue line during the PP. Which Klingberg Demers or Klingberg Seguin gives us.

 

[StarsTx]

I hate Ruff. It's like he makes lines that intentionally make this team worse. Eaves and Horcoff in the top 6 and that 3rd pairing, look out.

I'll take him any day over #GullyLogic.

 

[OttMorrow]

No word on Fids yet?

That would be a tough loss for us.

 

[Elysian]

Huh?

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Huh?

He was in a ton of pain in the 3rd and probably is injured.

 

[OttMorrow]

Huh?

Took a puck to his instep. Barely made it to the bench.

 

[Elysian]

Yeah I saw, but he stayed in the game.
