Do they really need 6 centres?

 

[The Instigator]

I didn’t like Carrie’s new single but I didn’t think it was THIS bad.

 

[rent free]

2 more minutes.

 

[TootooTrain]

Quality guy. Good fundamentals. Dunno how he well he'll play, but he'll try his hardest I know that.

Don't know how positions will shake out but Jarnkrok, Sissons and Bonino have all played on the wing at times this year.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Can't believe if he's back as a player. That would Be huge.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Now the question is, current captain (Josi) subordinate to former captain (Fish)?

 

[ffh]

joey isn't doing anything maybe he replaces him.

Oh really? Bonino contract not looking too good? Figured it was to avoid messes like this.

[HanSolo]

Trouble at home with Ms. Underwood?

 

[pheasant]

Is it like a paper transaction thing and he'll get a ceremony before puck drop at a game? He's not seriously going to join the team and hit the ice, right?

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Bonino has been pretty invisible so far this year. He is a good shot blocker and breaks up a decent amount of passes with his hockey IQ but he has brought very little to things offensively. He definitely isn't the 2C he was signed to be.

 

[BlueBaron]

Doesn't he need to clear waivers?

Well Fisher can be a good 4C but 3C is an issue the Preds will have to figure out. I’m sure Bonino will be more effective come playoff time. But I hope for their sake they don’t give Mike too much icetime.

probably not. wouldnt make sense. i envision fisher only playing this year

 

[MMC]

Doesn't he need to clear waivers?

Not coming from Europe so no

 

[Mustard]

I know he's older and yada yada, but he's spent about as much time off the ice as Ryan Ellis has. He's been fine.

 

[BlueBaron]

Not coming from Europe so no

That is odd. So during an expansion year you can have guys retire to reduce your roster and then come back with no consequences? Doesn't seem right.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

I'm not talking about actually wearing the "C" but rather the locker room belonging to Fisher.

 

[QCNords]

Paccioretty trade incoming...

 

[Jonesey]

I believe he was a UFA.

Fisher was a free agent at that time.

 

[Osprey]

I couldn't understand why he retired in the first place and figured that he might get restless at about this point. He'll have plenty of time to play Mr. Mom in a year or two. He belongs with his team while he can still play and the team is as good as it is.
