Player Discussion Varone & Blunden called up

Seriously, the call-ups this season always leave me scratching my head. The coaching staff makes that deciion, no?

Call up Akeson and Varone, or Akeson and Paul, or even Perron but Blunden, Bailey? McCormick I can live with it... but I don't know the depth is really not good enough

MacArthur should have been replaced when they knew that he wasn't going to come back. Wingels at this point is a 4th liner.

Now with Ryan, Hoffman and Stone missing games, you end up with a "grinding line-up". Nobody can survive in this league without 4 top-6 forwards, comon.

Blunden is on a goal-streak, lots of Bingo fans were saying he should've been the call up last time.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Really good opportunity for Varone. Still havent forgotten how good he looked when he got top 6 minutes in the preseason

 

[edguy]

Flannagan/Rodewald/Akeson arent on NHL deals so they are not eligible to be called up until they get one, which i doubt they get yet.

Personally Max and Varone would be my choices

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Woooooow the depth

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Might as well give different guys a chance. Who knows...someone might just surprise.

 

[starling]

Blunden scored like 7 goals in 7 games or something. Well deserved.
Yesterday he had a nice one from a sharp angle off a great feed by Perron on PP.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

A shame, I wouls have liked to see Paul but I suppose calling him up after criticizing him in the media would be bizarre...

 

[Ouroboros]

Good decision. This should be the end of the line for both McCormick and Bailey - they just can't contribute at this level.

Were they demoted?

Next .... Hopefully Varone these guys show more

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I'm a fan of giving new guys a taste. I would like to see perron up

After last night I'm sure Boucher is just crying for help from where ever he can get it and Dorion is helping him out the best way he can.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in those conversations

Dang, I forgot that. They don't want to lose a contract for Akeson? He basically saved Bingo from being a bottom-3 team...

Anyway, team would not be in that position (not able to survive multiple injuries) if they would spend a little bit more money. After knowing MacArthur was not coming back, a bigger fish than Wingels should have been brought back.

It's like trading for the guy who scored 2 goals against us the night before. They should have brought him up sooner.

Agreed. I think they should pull the trigger on a warm body that has a realistic chance to help us down the stretch sooner than later.

Thats easier said then done. Dorion is trying to make a deal, but if the prices are to high why should he?

 

[danielpalfredsson]

If we get another injury, we should sign Dany Heatley to a PTO.

 

[God Says No]

You mean the 2nd that was just paid for Eaves? I know we don't have one, but the prices are not as high as everyone thought. We should have made already a deal. Actually, we should have signed someone in the off season.

I find the reaction after a deal is made whether it be "prices are low" or "prices are high!" Are always blown out of proportion. I find at the end of the day everyone has their own price. And each deal has their own set of negotiations. If a team wants to trade a player he's usually traded for a different negotiated price than player X traded yesterday.

When you leave things to the TDL you take your chances on getting someone at good value.

The problem is there are only 2 times a year trades get done at all in the nhl, the summer and the tdl and we looked set in the summer.
