What exactly does he do to call him "Depth"?

He is pretty useless player IMO who is blackhole offensively

Let's be honest he is currently in NHL because of his last name

If his name was Jake Jenson, he would be riding buses in AHL

23, cheap , gritty
He’s Hunt . What’s the problem ?
Can bury him if he stinks later

Every bus needs a Jake Jenson.

Not too relevant to the thread but I can't understand why Vegas keeps trying to make Jake Leschysyn work in their lineup. He is by far the most "just there" guy that's ever worn the jersey. I mean Luca Sbisa was there year 1 but he at least could occasionally have good shifts. Leschysyn is literally just there

That would require them to put him on waivers. Since they didn't do that, it means he will be at least a spare forward.
Good pt and you may be right, he is on the roster atm, per CF/
But while he may/may not have a leg up on likes of Carpenter
off top of my head I don't see him challenging anyone on NYR roster. Not replacing Vesey, Gauthier, etc.

Kreider +Gauthier both had upper body injury knocking them out last nite.
A useful body for now, sure.
But he'll go down soon enuf.

I need a fix
cause I'm going down
down to the place that I left uptown
I need a fix
cause I'm going down

I think the post just meant like 4c, 13th forward, first call-up if sent down type of player. I don't think he meant like depth in the line-up like some additional scoring piece.

Kreider is injured.

Our AHL team blows.

There's 0 risk here.

..

NYR been exceptionally healthy recent seasons, compared to many (see Caps, Avs, this season)

and NYR AHL affiliate lacks F depth (4 Fs currently hurt) only collecting points recently, no obvious callup guys either, glad they left 'Pack alone, for now

no downside here, can re-waive at any day

With Kreider and Gauthier hurt, no one of note in Hartford, and Blais sucking eggs, may as well give it a shot.

Edit: Gauthier's okay after all.
