[belfour30]

I don't understand what this FO has against Phillips, I'd rather play him than Tinordi.

Glad you made the thread. Happy with Kaiser going down. He’s never had a taste of the AHL. Work on some things and come back. Phillips was a pretty solid PK guy with wheels, thought he might stay.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Surprised Phillips went down. Been ok.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I guess they want to see what they have with Crevier. He’s RFA at the end of the year. Also I’m never opposed to adding size to the backend. Kaiser and Phillips are still young, let them marinate a bit.

 

[bwanajamba]

Right move for Kaiser imo. He has flashes but has been struggling lately and he can be more than a warm body taking lumps on a bad team, no harm in letting him get heavy minutes with Rockford for now.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Crevier is a surprise to me. Big guy, only right handed shot in Rockford that isn’t an AHL deal. Kaiser needs some AHL time but feel bad that Phillips got sent with him.

 

[MTU34]

Phillips going down makes no sense. He’s already proven capable of excelling at the AHL level. Needs an extended look in the nhl to see if there’s anything there

And fwiw I still REALLY like Kaiser. He earned his way onto this team in camp but now that he’s starting to drop off a bit some significant AHL time is probably best as he adjusts to pro hockey

 

[Kevin Musto]

Moves are fine.

But I hope they commit to Kaiser in Rockford. If you're going to send him down, it should be for the season. I don't want to see him given the same treatment that ruined Mitchell's development.

I want a Vlasic-Crevier pairing just for the hilarity of the size.

Unfortunately it seems that the FO has already decided there's nothing there with Phillips.

Mitchell sucking ruined Mitchell's development.

He's not good?

 

[clydesdale line]

Crevier is a big boy. But I get more Svedberg vibes from him. Hopefully he ain't as soft.

 

[MarotteMarauder]

Kaiser needs to work on his reads in Rockford while Phillips needs to improve his first two steps, not quick feet until he gets 'er going.

Mitchell spent an entire year in the AHL after his rookie NHL/Pro year.

Not a chance.

They have clearly not decided that as he has gotten numerous opportunity while he's still waiver-exempt.

 

[Teemu]

Good for Crevier. Always gotta love a 7th round overager making the big show

 

[WarriorofTime]

That sign is unintentionally hilariouis.

"He's Canadian", lol, what

 

[belfour30]

Yeah, but Phillips has never really had an extended look. He comes up as an injury replacement and goes back to Rockford immediately when the injured player returns.

 

[Section88]

Kaiser was due to get moved down, glad it happened. Hope he can excel in Rockford because he was really struggling after the first few weeks of the season.
Phillips should stay up, but I understand bringing Crevier up.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Be interesting to see Crevier in big show

Phillips seemed to be playing well so a bit surprised he went down

 

[Pez68]

Can someone explain to me why, out of all the D in Rockford, they called up... the 7th D?

He's been on the top pairing with EDM.

That's not what I was told.

Roos with Maniscalco and Allan with Parrot. I'm sure Kaiser and Phillips getting sent down is gonna change things.
