Chris Wagner

You need a mix of youth and vets. Tampa has both.

Kesler not skating this morning. That could be the reason Wagner hasn't been sent down yet. Maybe they want to make sure Kesler is good to go before sending him down.

There is also the case that San Diego isn't playing right now, so keeping him up makes a huge difference on his earnings (he is on a two-way contract).

It makes a huge difference for him but the Ducks would save money if they sent him down immediately. It would make sense to trim the roster as much as possible considering we have four player not on the roster due to injury but are each collecting a paycheck. I really don't know why they waived him if they weren't going to send him down. Maybe it's so they can have the option to send him down in case they want to call up someone like Ritchie in a pinch? I can't imagine it's to light a fire under his ass like they did with Beleskey several years ago. Wagner being a spare forward is perfectly fine. I don't really know what they want to do with him.

It does save money, but it also work as a reward. I think I have heard GMBM talk about that before.

But they've sent guys down for a couple days between games to save money so i don't think they're too bothered about that.

That makes sense. Although interesting he was sent down with no corresponding move (yet), especially as they head out on a road trip.

Both things can be true.

 

[TheJoeMan]

I guess it's moot at this point now that he's been sent down. Don't know why they didn't just send him down as soon as he cleared. Perhaps Murray tried to find a trading partner first. But there are some who don't think GMs that waive their players also look to get a return for them in the event they might lose them for nothing.

 

[Carelton CA]

It really is just a matter of time before our forwards start to pick up some injuries like our D has.

Maybe they will play better with some broken bones

Doubtful. Our forwards haven't been physical at all
