Which is weird, because I couldn't help but notice that Pellettier was constantly in on the forecheck. I know that's not everything, but it does show that he'll likely transition fairly well to the NHL. Works on his offense a bit, and he'll become what we were all hoping Klimchuk could be (A Glencross style middle sixer)

Haven't watched any training camp. Has Mangiapane played on a line with Gaudreau yet? He's got a great one timer and he scores goals very similarly to Monahan. If those two could develop chemistry like that we could put a 2way C between them and maybe our top line wouldn't get caved as much.
Dirty, I'm assuming line 2 will be Gaudreau - Monahan - Simon then from what I'm reading bumping Mang to line 3. I know Ward said he wanted to get Mangiapane some more special teams play so maybe we will see him with Gaudreau on the PP but I bet he winds up PP2.
PP2 I believe is where he's been playing in training camp.
PP1 is Tkachuk-Monahan-Gaudreau-Lindholm-Andersson
PP2 is Backlund-Dube-Mangiapane-Lucic-Gio
Mangi is also paired with Bennett on the PK through camp as well

When healthy, he's a good 3. One the most underrated Canucks, and now that he's gone, even Canucks fans are starting to underrate him. He's better than Brodie IMO
Mangi was at least our 3rd best forward last night, maybe our most dangerous. Its just a scrimmage but solely based on last night's play, the third line should be Mangi-Bennett-Ryan
We'll miss Brodies offense but Tanev has a calming effect. Far more poised and in control back there.
He hit Valimaki once, I didn't like that. Outside of that, there's little doubt why he's on a PTO. He was never here for a roster spot. I mean its not a real tough team, outside of Lucic. Not many guys you want to see scrapping and definitely no one that should be tangling with heavyweights. He might be worth having on the taxi squad for that reason alone.

There's talk that the waiver moves were to sign him so he'll be part of the taxi squad.
Last night the colour guy was musing about who he thinks are three surefire Taxi Squad people, Ritchie, Domingue and Stone.
With how many games we will be playing Edmonton, we will need some extra nuclear power.

Perry is completely done. Ritchie is quite a bit tougher and might even be a better skater, at this point.

Not worth the risk. Treliving will have all the regrets....

Given they both have now cleared, we wait and see if maybe the Flames sign another contract. As it was one of the speculated reasons for waiving Ryan.

Umm. At league minimum, Perry is not done. He was surprisingly pretty effective last season with the Stars. Based on the showing so far, I'd wonder if he'd be on par with Leivo, but IMO Leivo has a higher ceiling if his knee injury doesn't hold him back from being an effective player.
Get itchy for Ritchie?

Phew, dodged a bullet. Thankfully, as idiotic as our GM, he's only average in intelligence relative to every other GM.

I think it was risky about Kylington. Teams like him a lot (rumour has it the Bruins have asked about him before) but those interested are too pressed for space to fit him in because they don't know enough about him - he's played like 80 professional games in 2 seasons. Two of the guys that got claimed have previous history with the organization, one is Sbisa who is the Curtis McElhinney of Dmen, and then some random tweener.
The payoff is great for Treliving though.
Best outcome: Oilers lose a respectable third-stringer in Forsberg and now have to pray Mike Smith isn't an .890 goalie
Neither of them do, what Ritchie would be here to do, nearly as well.Umm. At league minimum, Perry is not done. He was surprisingly pretty effective last season with the Stars.

I forgot
smiley. IMO, Treliving is looking at the situation and considers he has a 90% chance of success so he makes the move. This is IMO what he did with Kylington and Ryan. This is an extension of him trading down twice and nabbing Zary. It's not pure prayer of a gamble. It's a calculated risk (high chance of success, low, but not zero chance of failure) with quite a bit of reward if successful.
That's a pretty despicable thing to say, whether you agree with his moves or not he works his ass off trying to make this team better and has made far more positive moves than negative ones.
