[FamilyGuy716]

predictions:

cut/waived
Sulzer - waivers
Adam - waivers
Armia - Rochester
Flynn - Rochester
Girgensons - Rochester

that gets them to 24

Tropp - INJURED
that gets them to 23

Looks like Zadarov will stay... for now

Foligno-Hodgson-Vanek
Ennis-Larsson-Stafford
Ott-Grigs-Leino
Kaleta-Porter-McCormick
x Scott

Tallinder-Myers
Ehrhoff-Risto
Weber-Pysyk
x McBain, Zadarov

cut/waived
Adam - waivers
Armia - injured then Rochester
Flynn - Rochester
Girgensons - Rochester
Zadorov - back to juniors

that gets them to 24

Tropp - INJURED
that gets them to 23


Foligno-Hodgson-Vanek
Ennis-Larsson-Stafford

When is the deadline for final moves? I'm assuming players getting put on waivers has to happen tomorrow so the transaction is complete monday

 

[sabrefan27]

Have to be at 23 by Monday. I'm guessing Adam, Flynn and Girgensons are the odd men out. Only Adam needs waivers.

 

[ADoubleD]

So if Ennis stays at center then I'm assuming that Girgensons makes it over Larsson. Then the lines could look something like this:

Foligno-Hodgson-Vanek
Ott-Ennis-Stafford
Girgensons-Grigorenko-Leino
Scott/McCormick-Porter-Kaleta

I also don't hate the idea of sliding Porter/Scott/McCormick being the LW on the 4th with Larsson centering it. But it's not the ideal situation I know.

Rolston confirmed that Ristolainen has made the team. Zadorov had his finger repaired with stitches and is out two weeks

 

[Beerz]

Mike Harrington ‏@BNHarrington 6m

Rolston also said they haven't decided on sending Zadorov back or keeping him. Could put him on IR, skate him here the 2 weeks...

 

[Beerz]

Paul Hamilton ‏@pham1717 10m

Adam has been waived to send to Rochester.

 

[Rhett4]

Good for Ristolainen. I still think Zadorov has been better, but I can't imagine them keeping both. With the finger injury, I wonder if they keep Zad up on IR for two weeks (to maybe give him a couple games) or send him back now.

 

[Rhett4]

Also, would Flynn + Girgs to Rochester and Zads to IR get them to 23?

 

[Myllz]

No real surprise there, but it'll be fun watching him play this season. Looking forward to it.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Honest question, who would Zadorov play over?

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Honest question, who would Zadorov play over?

That's the problem. I suppose maybe Tallinder, but I would think Tallinder's veteran savy is more valuable to the d-corps this season.

 

[MacOfNiagara]

That's the problem. I suppose maybe Tallinder, but I would think Tallinder's veteran savy is more valuable to the d-corps this season.

I've been a big fan of Tallinder and think his veteran presence is a huge boon for our young but talented D core (RR,Myers,Zadorov,Pysyk,McCabe) . . .

. . . but, IMO, he has not looked good at all during the preseason. Seems to have lost several steps. Tentative, and making rushed / bad decisions, and getting walked around too often.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I'm surprised that RR made the team, but no complaints. See what he brings, get the rebuild going. Just don't Connolly his development by putting him on the top pairing for 25 minutes a night.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

That's the problem. I suppose maybe Tallinder, but I would think Tallinder's veteran savy is more valuable to the d-corps this season.

Yes. I think he is here to bridge the gap maybe. It seems like at least this year there's a log jam In a way it's a healthy thing.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

I wonder if Rolston will consider keeping Zadorov on IR for a week or two, giving Tallinder, McBain, and Sulzer (if he's not sent through waivers anyway) a chance to show who needs to be replaced by Zadorov. Send the odd man (or two) through waivers and go with...

Ehrhoff-Myers
Weber-Ristolainen
Zadorov-Pysyk
Tallinder (I would assume him over McBain and Sulzer) as the #7 guy

This is what I think next season's starting group will be, with McNabb and Ruhwedel filling in as needed. Maybe if Tallinder shows poorly enough, that group will get an early start together.

 

[stokes84]

Honest question, who would Zadorov play over?

IMO Weber

 

[MacOfNiagara]

IMO Weber

Yeah, I would put him ahead of all the following:

McBain
Sulzer
Tallinder

and likely ahead of McNabb as well.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

So if Ennis stays at center then I'm assuming that Girgensons makes it over Larsson. Then the lines could look something like this:

Foligno-Hodgson-Vanek
Ott-Ennis-Stafford
Girgensons-Grigorenko-Leino
Scott/McCormick-Porter-Kaleta

I also don't hate the idea of sliding Porter/Scott/McCormick being the LW on the 4th with Larsson centering it. But it's not the ideal situation I know.

If Ennis stays at center I'm expecting see:

Vanek Hodgson Girgensons
Foligno Ennis Stafford
Ott Grigorenko Leino

 

[tsujimoto74]

Yeah, I would put him ahead of all the following:

McBain
Sulzer
Tallinder

and likely ahead of McNabb as well.

I'd agree with that list. I think the only reasons to hold Zadorov out this year are: 1) Tallinder, while not as good a player as he used to be, is still a very calming veteran presence. I think he'd help either of Risto or Pysyk along as they adjust to becoming NHLers. And 2) Because if he goes back to London, he's on a Mem Cup contender with a chance to log massive minutes and develop his offensive game at a lower level; let him be a go-to guy for a full year at that level before progressing into the NHL. Plus, I think it'll make Rolston's job a bit easier if he's not trying to break 3 rookie D into the league at once, while at the same time trying to salvage McBain and keep/get Myers on the right track.

In spite of all that, I'd like to see them keep him skating with the team while he's on IR and maybe give him a couple games before returning him to the Knights.

 

[MacOfNiagara]

If Ennis stays at center I'm expecting see:

Vanek Hodgson Girgensons
Foligno Ennis Stafford
Ott Grigorenko Leino

You are expecting Girgensons to be starting at 1st line RW?

I would love it if you were right, but I think there is literally no chance of that happening. Hope I'm wrong. Feel free to bump.

I am beyond ready to move on from Stafford as a top 6 forward. I love ZG, but I dont think they will give him that spot yet. I will be happy if they have him anywhere on the roster to start the season.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

By the time Zadorov is healthy, I'm sure there will be other injuries on the blue line freeing up a spot if they want to take a 9 game look at him. Granted, the injuries will probably be to whomever is playing the best since that's how these things happen to go...

I don't think Girgs will get that spot simply because he isn't a RW.

 

[Djp]

Honest question, who would Zadorov play over?

If they wanted to gve Zadarov some NHL games.....

1. Alternate games between him and Risto

2. Move McBain to RW...he could fill the void of Tropp/Armia

3. Send Porter or Sulzer to Rochester thru waivers....or send n exempt player down.
