It's not like we can dress them if they're called up. The only spot we could find ourselves in trouble for not having enough players, or rushing a call-up onto a plane, is on the back to backs coming next weekend. As of right now we have 8 defensemen on the roster and Coop's only been dressing 6. So now we have 1 extra instead of 2.

If we lose a forward vs. Edmonton, Drouin comes back. Easy. If we lose a defenseman, we can bring Witkowski up. If we love 5 defensemen, we bring 5 defensemen up.

EDIT: I just noticed we had back-to-backs coming early in the week, so I can see your reasoning a little better. My mistake. I still don't think we should do it though. We're not really in dire need of bodies.

i think we are fine gudas says is gonna skate today

i like having the 8 d and am not enthused with choosing guys lol id be safe cause the double back to backs and have bodies here but we should be fine. especially if gudas is ok.

I really like the 11-7 which we are not doing seems like we always lose a guy almost per game on d just saying 5 games two d guys down

you all forgot last year how many people went down in a few weeks hmm think was like 8.

I dont want to tap dance on parade but when injuries start its usually in bunches.

Hope we dont have last year again wouldnt surprise me if we did though.

and to sky not being a jerk but read other posts? Was tired made mistake?

I really hope hedman is minor gudas is truly close to ready seems so. Yet as said I remember that period last year when guy after guy went down with minor things sure but it tested us for sure.

You don't call people up expecting injuries that's not how it works.

If someone is needed they are a plane ride away it's not like this is 1820 where we have to bring them in on horseback so it will take awhile.

Drouin will be up when he's ready. Expect it on the 28th. Patience.
