If Stevie and Hogg both make the team, that will really suck.
If one of them made the team, it would really suck. Both of them making it is a fuggin catastrophe

He's better than Stewart. That's the point. This has been explained.
Nope it's been made clear. They are taking the dead weight along for the trip. Again no roster spot. No contract. No cap hit. Just a body at practice.Anyone else wondering why this quote was published this morning?
Because in a game like last night Hagg not getting on the scoresheet against King is the reason it went to a shootout... Not that any other player who is paid to score didn't score enough.There is so many hatred for Hagg, but why? Seems like just a trend. One said - another repeats. Obviously he doesnt deserve top-pair minutes, but not everyone should score. Someone should be on 3rd pair, play a shutdown role. Players who block shots without thinking deserve some respect. Especially if they doesnt kill capspace like AMac.

I am sure he has input, but the final roster is Fletcher's call.
Fletcher gives him the 23 guys.
Do you anticipate carrying 22 players or 23 players when the season starts?
We could even carry 20 or 21. We’ll just have to see the cap situation and how the math works out. I anticipate an awful lot of roster changes the first six weeks of the year. Our goal right now is get a roster to play Chicago in Prague. When we get back, I am sure there will be things we need to do as we move forward. Right now it’s just about getting ready for Prague.
Speaking of Prague, how many players are you taking over there? AV said you may take a few extra. Is there a number you have in mind to take there?
Well, we’re going to bring three goalies. We’ll bring Alex Lyon as our third goaltender. After that, it will depend on the health of our team and where the competition may be. We can bring players over. Prior to the opening night roster submission, still make changes up until that point. We’ll see how the game goes Thursday night against the Rangers and where we are
The way I view it (which might not be right...it could literally be as simple as them thinking Frost needs to fix things) is that center is harder. I still remain confident they'll call up Frost quickly if he shows it. I think it makes sense to do Farabee's 9 game trial now vs later too. He proved he's good enough for his spot, so he has 9 games to really show it'll continue.Frost was just as good as Farabee but ok
It's insane, isn't it?I was assured that our new GM knew best. Seems like some of that skepticism that some of us were chastised for this off season may have been warranted.
I meant relative to expectations, given their different positions. In other words, Frost was as good at the harder position as Farabee was in his spot... if that makes sense?The way I view it (which might not be right...it could literally be as simple as them thinking Frost needs to fix things) is that center is harder.
