[Paralyzer]

Any idea if this was to showcase Nikitin?

Not unexpected to see Oesterle again. Nikitin didn't exactly reestablish himself as an NHL D-man last night.


Oesterle is a pure puck mover. He'll throw those passes up. The question is if he'll be more composed and make less mistakes than last time.

 

[Del Preston]

I would rather have seen Nurse sent down.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Our AHL coach thinks hes been our best d-man of late, but I'm not particularly fond of him, he seems to be to mistake prone to help us.

If so, it was a disaster.

Nikitins NHL career is over.

Should compliment Schultz well....

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Really? "that" was his shot? Nikitin is done.

They should be rolling with Musil and Oesterle over the rookies. I honestly don't know what happened to Chia when he called up Leon and Nurse.....seems like agents were involved to me....as he had said he didn't want them to bounce around between leagues and reason would have assumed they were going to get seasoned in the minors. If I recall....despite being good in camp....they hadn't really earned callups due to their AHL play.

Over under on how many times 14 is called Jordan Oesterle and 82 Eberle by Remenda?

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Good to see Oesterle get another chance. He's been playing well by all accounts.

Oesterle getting a callup over Reinhart. Good trade Chia.

I understand that Oesterle is getting a reward for solid play. It's just funny that Reinhart isn't good enough to crack this lineup or maybe they want him away from the gongshow. I don't know, what a disaster this season is.

We need Reinhart to develop in the AHL, as should Nurse. Now is the perfect time to bring up over-ripe Dmen like Oesterle. This call up does not mean that Oesterle is better than Reinhart, and certainly not more valuable

Yeah, my comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek but it's still funny how Reinhart wasn't able to stick in this lineup.

Chia actually made this trade thinking that he was NHL ready now. It doesn't look good and he will be in tough to make the lineup next season as well especially if the appropriate changes are made to the blueline. He is now behind Klefbom, Nurse and Davidson as far as their young depth is concerned. Big uphill climb for young Griff.

Hopefully he's improved quite a bit since his last time up.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Great. One more guy that will lose a ton of puck battles, just what we need.

Eh. Tis the season for young guys to get cups of coffee as rewards for solid years. I'd imagine Khaira will be up soon, and LaLeggia and Musil for defencemen.

Wish they can send down MacT as Bakersfield can never have enough coffee fetchers at the game.

Considering he went to the wrong place to scout out Laine, I wouldn't be surprised if he got lost in another city while trying to travel there as well.

Talk about incompetence.

He'd show up in Oklahoma City haha.

This happened?

 

[McAsuno]

Apparently so. I forgot who linked it, but it was on twitter. He was gonna scout Laine at a game, but went to the wrong place. Like seriously, how can a person be that incompetent and still have a job? As if our scouting hasn't been terrible for years, MacT not having a damn clue on where to scout Laine sure helps!

Yep, there it is. Thanks Del! Good ****ing grief, MacT.

Curious if actually said he thought Grif was NHL ready? Would be unhappy if he did.

As much of a fan I am of big cat, that trade reeks of the obc. I bet that Chia got pressured by them to make that trade. He didn't look too impressed after the deal was made with the camera flashing on him as well. But that's just my opinion.

I really don't think Reinhart has been particularly out of place when he's been up. The trouble is he's not better than Sekera, Klefbom, Davidson, or Nurse.
