that has to be it.

Why do we need Leopold? To be a healthy scratch?

lol i have absolutely no idea. none at all. can only speculate on whats reported lol

 

[g00n]

Michalek off the table, to the Blues for picks

d-men dropping like fliesss

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Yeah, the Leopold thing makes no sense. They've already got Schmidt.

Why do we need Leopold? To be a healthy scratch?

Pretty much. Maybe even to rest someone after a triple OT or something.

I can see Trotz wanting the 7th dman to be a vet.

I'll say again that I love McLellan's leaky administration. It's f'ing awesome.

It sets up for disappointment

Leopold to replace Green would be terrible. He was #8D in St.Louis earlier this season.

I don't mind Schmidt or possibly Orlov replacing Green if the return is good enough, but Leopold is purely a depth piece.

 

[Capitlols]

I imagine Green's asking price is something like a 1st + roster player(#3C/good bottom 6 guy) + good prospect

cant even afford him right now so unless he is part of a huge trade with columbus idk what to say

 

[Bananas]

If we move Green what are you guys wanting back?

It's a brave new world if we move the guy...I'd honestly be shocked - kind of like how Ralphie felt when he actually does get the Red Rider for Christmas...

 

[SlappaDaBass]

Time will tell. I will say I'm more optimistic about our chances of still making a splash than I was with GMGM at the helm.

I will **** in my shoe if GMBM trades Green. I'll be floored. Maybe Detroit gets scared off by Phaneuf's price and comes to BMac?

as in happy for a great return or so mad that its grab the pitchforks?

 

[RandyHolt]

Leopold has barley played this year. Certainly doesn't play a 'heavy' game. Pretty good skater and has a good first pass.

Trotz and company may want to keep Schilling/Schmidt in Hershey for their playoff run. Who knows?

Thanks for the quick write up

Burakovsky on the ice early for practice. Seems likely he'll get paper-moved to Hershey before the deadline for AHL playoff eligibility.

hint hint hint

edit: oh wait i read that wrong

Can someone explain what it means for him to be "paper moved"?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

They're not moving Green. The entire point of the Gleason acquisition was to protect Green.

Transaction is registered with the league, but the player doesn't actually travel.

 

[hockeykicker]

is prewitt meaning deadline today or deadline for the ahl playoffs?

As of now, Detroit has decided that the asking price for Phaneuf is too high. Lines of communication are still open, but nothing close.

 

[Bananas]

I wonder if he's just lying in his hammock waiting for the Detroit call...
