killing time @ work
1st rd bust Stefan Matteau. Feels like he's been toiling forever now, but I was shocked to see he's only 25!
If anyone wants to go to the Bjorkstrand bobblehead night and maybe send me their bobblehead, I will pay you. I'm contemplating calling the ticket office and explaining I live 12 hours away now, but will buy a ticket if they just send me the bobblehead. Please please please
I'll do a projected line-up for everyone that care.
G:
Vehbilainen/loser of the nhl fight
Kivlenieks
Thiessen
D:
Somerby Clendening
Karlsson Carlsson
Simpson Peeke/Prapavessis
Collins
Lilja/Robinson/Texier Dalpe Bemstrom/Milano/Dano
Gerbe Stenlund Sherwood
Barach Foudy Fix-Wolansky
Bittner/Matteau MacInnis Scott
Gallant Thurkauf/Vigneault/Fortier/Korostelev/Moore
probably another D on ahl contract to add some dept
Are they still practicing in Strongsville? I have been meaning to go, they practice right down the street from my work, but I need to extend my lunch break by staying at work later. I don't like staying at work any longer than I have to.
Maybe I am being too harsh on the kid but if the Monsters want to have success then Kivvy should be down in the ECHL and leave the AHL net to V2 and Thiessen. If Kivvy is getting serious playing time in Cleveland (presumably only because of injury) then the Monsters should probably get their golf clubs out early.I'll do a projected line-up for everyone that care.

thiessen is player/coach he isn't going to be full time number 2. even when berube was injured he spent more time coaching kiv than practicing himself. if kiv is in the echl they will probably sign another guy I think at this pointMaybe I

monster camp
Dalpe, MacInnis, Hannikainen, Clendening on waiver and Veini, Somerby coming down. Still 4 more player to go. I'd guess Peeke, Foudy, Lilja and Bem.
Foudy also won't be in Cleveland. It's London or Columbus for him.
FYI, Bemstrom reportedly is headed to Sweden for the year if he gets cut by the Jackets.
I kinda meant the cut and I knew about Foudy but just meant he wont make the jackets and kinda sad Bem can't stay.
I guess that might make it most likely to waive Dano but only 5 of Dano, Dalpe, Clendening, Gerbe, Simpson, Matteau so it would probably mean Matteau released maybe. Gallant will be benched most of the game so that's not an issue
ahl deals come and go pretty easily. if he isn't playing at all he will want to go somewhere else and they will just release him to go to Europe or something that's not uncommonOnly 5 veterans? Is there an age cut off for that rule?
Also regarding Matteau, what do you mean by "released"? He was signed to an AHL deal, btw.
