Doesn't bode well for Letang I guess.

Doesn't bode well for Letang I guess.

Or maybe Warsofsky?

But probably Letang.

 

[Al Smith]

Probably more Warsofsky than Letang. But I guess we'll see.

 

[mpp9]

Nice. Hopefully he can stick around.

 

[etm124]

I'm too lazy to check, but does he have to go through waivers if sent down?

 

[Artie Party]

I'm guessing he's up for good. Rutherford said when he comes up he won't be going back down.

or there is another lovejoy we can trade him for..



fire them all!

Correct, but the kid still has to show he can play at this level.

 

[Pens1566]

Good to hear.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Good to see. I hope he works out. We definitely need him to.

He does not.

What would make you think this is that scenario? Not saying it isn't, but what happens when Letang gets healthy?

This is probably more to do with injuries and waivers than actually wanting to bring him up for good.

 

[SEALBound]

Interesting. Bringing him up is awesome. Just don't sit him in the press box night in and night out.

Maatta-Daley
Dumoulin-Lovejoy
Cole-Pouliot

I'm guessing?

For sure. But it's not like they can't sell the masses on sitting Ian Cole for him when we're healthy.

When Letang gets healthy they should send Warsovsky down and rotate between Cole and DP (whoever is playing better). It makes sense, but not sure it will happen.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Good to see. I hope he works out. We definitely need him to.

We really do. There's not too many impact prospects in the organization besides him, Murray and possibly Sprong. I dont except him to be a top 4 dman right now but down the road it would help a lot.

 

[T1K]

Missed the game yesterday... Letang got hurt again?

I think they would bring up another guy from WBS for a few games that would most likely clear waivers. The big thing with Pouliot is that he can't hit the bonuses this year that would count against the cap next year now that the season is more than halfway over. I think he would have been called up sooner this season but money wise it wasn't really worth it. It's a small difference in cap hit but ultimately it is a few hundred K that would be a difference for a cap team.

Just have to respond to the above, Tanger had another stroke while watching the game in the press box

Poor taste.

 

[MrBurghundy]

For sure. But it's not like they can't sell the masses on sitting Ian Cole for him when we're healthy.

But if he's going to be in a platoon type rotation, then it does him no good. He needs to play, not play for 2 or 3 games then sit for 2 or 3.

Definitely not, but he doesn't need to be all that good to replace Ian Cole. If he takes our transition game up a notch and scores a goal every once in awhile, he only needs to be questionable defensively to be a better player than Cole.

Cole's already questionable at everything.

 

[joeyjake5]

Poor taste.

I could have responded in many ways, the response was not in deference to Tanger but to the questionnaire. If you are a true fan, you know what happened to Tanger. And I hope you realize this.

 

[IcedCapp]

when Letang is healthy, they should redo the entire defense and go with

Maatta - Letang
Dumo - Daley
*Pouliot - Lovejoy
Cole

But they won't, because they are stupid.



*assuming Pouliot doesn't look like poop
