So....we lost Volpatti for nothing, and brought up Ebbett, who while putting effort in, serves no purpose....why not bring up a dedicated grinder like Mallet? Friesen? Schneider?

Ugh...Ebbett is a lesser Higgins/Hansen kind of player, no set role. He also washed out as a Kesler replacement.

I mean as a spare...sure....but Kassian back with the Sedins, or Higgins at center, or hell....dare I say....7 D and spare wingers.

Mallet's got the most upside of the 3 prospect centers on the farm, and he's not ready.

Still kinda want to see how Higgins would do as a pivot. Hasn't played in a while but has done it before, at least and has the smarts for it. From what I recall his faceoffs haven't been bad either whenever the center gets thrown out. :dunno:

And knowing AV, Ebbett will get the second line spot before Schroeder.

what are the odds that steve pinizzotoo gets hurt again?

Or turns out to be another Mancari?

Seems management is willing to pass up waiver wire pick-ups, dump players like Volpatti, re-sign Deadbit instead of players like Roussel just to keep ole Andy around.

A one-eyed Malhotra is probably preferable here.

btw you've kind of mangled Pinner's last name.

I know Ebbett gets more hate than he deserves(like Rome, probably the AV factor) but I do seriously get sad seeing his name in the line up. Its almost depressing.

Good. Send that Ebbett back where he belongs ... in the AHL, where he is also a mediocre player, but at least he's not on our team.
