Waived: Brian Lashoff (Cleared, Sent to Grand Rapids)

Id agree with that. If Marchenko turns into a top 4 and Jensen is a good 5th/6th your looking at:

Kronner, Dekeyser
Ouellet, Marchenko
Smith/X, Jensen

Ericsson is signed through 2021 though...
and we have Sproul coming up too..

Lashoff cleared?

I can't believe no one wanted such an important player for nothing

 

[Soft Rock Renegade]

I think Scott Czarnowczan can return to Toledo now.

Paetsch - Jensen
Lashoff - Ouellet
Evans - Sproul

thanks. didn't want him taking any time away from our prospect pool of jensen/oulette/sproul

I would have thought someone could have used a reliable #6 Dman. Hes gotta be better than some tweener filling in for injuries.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I think he is going to have a long career being an AHL captain. I just don't think he is talented enough to be an NHL guy. Still this will be solid for the Griffins and I wouldn't mind if he isn't going the Europe route to slap the C on him and sign him to be a leader down there.

I think people may want to temper expectations here. I have a feeling this is a temporary thing, just to get Lash some playing time. I'd be surprised if Holland suddenly changed his m.o. overnight.

But with Lashoff already down Holland has no excuse to not ice the best team possible. He keeps his depth and let's Babcock play the defense he wants.

That's true. This is most definitely good news, and it should have happened day 1. I'm just guarding myself from the very real possibility that after 10 or so games of seeing what Marchy (and perhaps Sproul) brings, Holland goes back to his "tried & true" formula for the sake of preserving depth.

Considering a guy like Olsen cleared, I'm not.

I highly suspect that the only way Lashoff gets re-promoted is in the case of 3 injuries on Defence. The first 2 would be Kindl/Ouellet (as the defenders not currently playing which would) and then push Lashoff back up over say Sproul/Jensen. Even then, its iffy because Jensen wouldnt require Waivers which who is to say Jensen is worse than Lashoff.
