I have no problem with this move. Kurashev has had enough of a look and little production.

Good for Kurashev to be able to go down, gain some confidence back, and come out better for it.

Wish Kubalik could be sent down. Toews as well. A lot of guys who need a goal in the worst way.

Good move. Kurashev hasn't looked great this season, unfortunately.

Slavin deserves a look. He's 23 in a month. Time to see what he can bring to the table.

kurashev can use the time in the Rock and I am excited to what Slavin has at this level, he has improved every single camp. I just hope that he plays in the top 9.

If King plays him on the 4th line that is a terrible idea, a complete fail IMO

Fourth line duty would be useless. play him on the third line

agreed, unfortunately my bet is king puts him on the 4th line and bumps a plug like JK up into the top 9, oh wait he has already done that...

indicative of the absolute terrible depth we have up front.

Our depth is bad yes and Khaira should be fourth line only but he’s played well

Yep, it's a recurring theme brought on by this no-talent squad.
Promote a guy from RFD, insert him in the bottom 6 and promote a roster guy into the top 6 who doesn't belong there.

Fine with getting Slavin some experience

Honestly since about halfway thru his games last year Kurashev has not looked good. He is just another guy out there at this point and could use some time in AHL to work on his game and hopefully come back strong next call up

Give this kid a chance on the third line. Khaira is a decent to good 4th liner. He plays a crash and bang style. The only way he should be anywhere other than the 4th line is if the team is riddled with injuries. And I mean severely depleted because of injuries.

When tf is Tyler Johnson supposed to be coming back anyway?

Kurashev is all effort.
I have no doubt he'll be back up.

Good for Slavin, give him a chance and let's hope he runs with it.
I agree. The will is there and he has some talent. He wouldn't be the guy I send down.... but hopefully, he gains some swagger in RFD and comes back with more finish to his game.

May have been asked but what the hell is the status with Tyler Johnson? I forgot that he’s even on the roster.
