Please bring us up to speed on what the actual bet is because it doesn't exactly seem concrete

 

[Raikkonen]

One thing is certain. Sending Panik to LTIR (not Kempny) saves all the cap space that was banked during Lewington's illustrious career (tm)

Siege should be sent down once Kempny comes back. Technically he doesnt like to lose if Siege isnt sent down but isn't playing (sitting in press box).

Circumstances of Siege's injury are really untimely.

If Siege is on the ice tonight with Kempny its a clear win for me. All other situations are semantics because Kempny was up all this time actually and nobody dared to send Siege down. So I won 8 games ago.

But I don't mind

 

[Hivemind]

Why call up Fever and not play him

Those were the pairs from the morning skate. Considering they just called up Fever and Boyd, it's likely they had not yet arrived. We'll see if anything changes before gametime.

Seems like Siegenthaler is a game time decision so maybe Feverbaby gets the nod over Lewington if Siege can’t go.

Not a smart bet. I don't even rate Siege that high but it's very clear the coach does.

 

[um]

because its Siegenthalers last game to prove himself?

heres hoping.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Is this woman the new beat writer or is Izzy coming back once the Nats season is done?

 

[tenken00]

It doesn't seem like they are going to break up the Orlov-Jensen pairing, so Siegenthaler (and not Ferhervary) playing in with Carlson makes sense for a game or so until Kempny is back up to the first pairing.

Edit: oops, hive corrected me below. I actually didnt even notice until now . Its a crazy time of year between work, school, Nats and Caps (and ... Skins)

They had Orlov-Gudas skating together last game. This is an Orlov-Jensen re-union.

 

[Raikkonen]

I think they hope Kempny-Gudas is Czech connection with added chemistry. Also less load on Kempny. Totally fine if MK ends up with Carlson later in the game. No risks.

PS: Cant consider Siegenthaler's mandatory 2 minutes as a risk. Its a built-in feature.

Have the 2 played together in international games?

 

[Marshall]

Play the Rongos like bongos!

 

[Raikkonen]

Cant say. But Im sure 34-33 and 34-3 isnt a thing yet. 6-33 should be fine stylistically.

Unless Siegenthaler can't move I would bet he will play. He has to see the writing on the wall......

What writing, specifically? Seems clear that Fever is going to leapfrog Siegs in short order, but Siegs may still have a place here depending on what Gudas does as a UFA next year. I could see a Siegs/Fever 5/6 next year.

Bottom line is, gotta love our defensive depth, gives us options moving forward despite the cap crunch. Who knows exactly where/when AA fits in, and then there is Stanley Cup winner Djoos in Hershey.

Carlson
Orlov
Gudas
Jensen
Kempny
Fehrevary

Next season, it will be one of the Hershey boys replacing Gudas.

That is the writing.

Maybe Seig sticks around as a six/seven but I don't see it with the way he is playing. I'm thinking he ends up like Bowey.

Djoos is going full on Benjamin Button winning the Calder Cup trophy after the Stanley Cup trophy.

They could find a UFA replacement for Gudas if he isn't back. Pretty solid RD UFA class. Pietrangelo, Schultz, Barrie, Green, Bogosian, Vatanen, Ceci, Braun, Tanev and Hamonic on top of Gudas

They won't have the money after they re-sign Backstrom.

They have 15 guys signed and 17 mil in projected cap space, of which Backstrom is gonna take at least 8 to 9 of.

And honestly I'm good with a kid coming up next season, that's why they were drafted and developed here.

We'll actually have a lot of money because Holtby's money will be free.

I honestly wouldn't mind a 1 or 2 year Mike Green retirement deal. Bring him home to finish out his career so he can retire a Capital. He and his wife still own a home in the area and spend their summers there. Depends on where he sees his career trajectory going, and if he still wants to play past age 35/36.

 

[tenken00]

The Semin and Green mentions are making me nostalgic...

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

I hope Holtby can get some of his confidence back against a tired not so good NYR team.
