Well Edstrom was sent down already so that isn't happening.
Didn't understand why they called up 2 people to begin with.

It probably had something to do with maximizing the LTIR space.

We should call up Corey Perry
Yeah I have no idea how any of this works.
Everytime I feel like I'm starting to get it, something like this happens and it turns out that I don't.

LTIR cap space is determined by adding the player's cap hit to the total we are spending. So if we had 3 mil in cap space, putting Kakko on LTIR wouldn't add any cap space (80.5 + 2.1 < 83.5).
The idea is to get as close to the 83.5 mil cap as possible before putting Kakko on LTIR in order to maximize the LTIR space.

It's amazing to me how many times we've got Brodz through waivers.
I don't care about him tearing up the AHL but he is a solid 12th forward

If he had any value there are 31 worse teams in the league who could use him. NONE of them want him. He's a big zero

I don't understand the need to shit on a player just because he's not an NHL regular. The guy is a fantastic player at the AHL level and he's helping our prospects develop in a winning environment.

But the moment he’s brought up his value is gone. And really I’m getting shit for “shitting on” Jonny Brodzinski? Really? After the loads of crap that’s been piled on NHL players on this board for years? Brodzinski ? Hah
Remember McKenna? It was like having a War Giraffe, and then realizing why nobody else has a War Giraffe.

Brodz may have minimal value as an NHL player but he definitely has value as an organizational guy. He's been on an NHL contract since his ELC in 2015. Excellent AHL player and willing mentor to young players. Good guy to have around. It's too bad he never found the offense at the NHL level.

All worthy attributes to be celebrated in the thread announcing he’s going back to Hartford.

Wasn't expecting Edstrom. I hope he gets a least a couple games. I'm interested to see how he does.

Brodzinski was just about the last forward we sent down from training camp. Like it or not Laviolette liked him a lot. If I remember he played at least 4 of our 6 preseason games so being surprised about his recall especially after he's been burning up the AHL is kind of mystifying. And mind if he plays for us again producing offense is not the main reason he'll be in the lineup. He's going to almost certainly be on the 4th line doing grunt and grind work. The same if Edstrom plays really. But Brodzinski's been through this before and knows that and he's trusted by the coaching staff. Keep also in mind in Hartford he does everything. A regular on the power play and a regular on the penalty kill. He's the go to all situation player there.
