Better a couple weeks than a couple months. Get well soon, Saader.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

sheesh

 

[Styles]

Glad it’s only a few weeks. We will need him in January when we get our most favorable stretch in the schedule.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Someone coming up or does Sikura just draw back into the lineup?

I hope they call someone up. Wouldn't mind seeing Brandon Hagel get a chance.

It would actually be pretty funny if they called someone up and Sikura still got scratched

 

[Kevin Musto]

I wouldn't mind sending Sikura and Highmore down in exchange for Kurashev and Hagel. May as well give them a look.

Good to hear about saad. Not that he's injured but only a few weeks. Was worried it would be a bit longer.
The hawks will probably call someone up. I'm going to guess Quennville and Wedin. Time to send Sikura down. They aren't going to play him. That's fine send him back down and go from there.
I think seabrook will be on IR also.

Hagel my favorite of the RFD bunch - think he's a top 9 guy eventually but ... not just yet, don't think.
I'm alright w/ Sikura filling in 3rd line - he's GOT to realize he's running out of chances, tho.

Dunno who slots in 1st line. Don't wanna mess w/ Kane & Nylander's thing right now. Sure would be nice Caggs on Jonny's wing. Guess that's why JC making that HC coinage ... We'll see Sat night in the mile high city.

Addem ...
Someone smarter than me pointed out the move: Cat to 1L, Sikura fills spot Cat vacated.

No bueno

 

[Pez68]

More grit and two way play, whoever they call up.... Please.

Gonna be interesting to see how they deal with this. Saad has been our most consistent player this season (arguably best).

I’m going to guess pretty poorly, but hopefully I’m pleasantly surprised.

 

[ColdSteel2]

This is unfortunate. It will, however, give the team a chance to assess Saad’s value to the team before making a move with him one way or the other.

 

[Styles]

I think Shaw can come back the 27th if he's ready and Cags has to be close as well. They aren't Saad but they are better than Sikura and Highmore.

Easy solution
Kubalik Toews Kane
Debrincat Strome Nylander
Sikura Dach Carpenter
Smith Kampf Highmore

After last night, I want to see more of Nylander with Kane. They were really good together. Nylander the last couple of games is back to being a puck hound, and a 200 foot player, as well. He played more center in the defensive zone than Strome in both games.

I'm cool with giving Sikura a couple more games to show something. Highmore is the most just a guy player we've had in awhile.

 

[Rick C137]

Too bad. Saad has been terrific lately

QFT. Highmore literally adds nothing.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Send Dylan down and call Tyler up.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

QFT. Highmore literally adds nothing.

Sikura doesn't add anything either.

If they waived Sikura tomorrow I couldn't care less.

I'd like to see Kurashev or Entwistle get a look.

A bummer for sure but wonder how this impacts the trade thing. He had to be on the block.
