On my phone and packing for an overnighter at my parents’ too.

Not sure what else they could have done to make the team in their respective roles. Bet they are not happy at all.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Decent chance Wolanin gets picked up. Studnicka too, if people have been watching our preseason and not remembering his performance last year.

Wolanin - prove you can handle physical wall battles and win more than you lose

Studnicka - stop taking wrist shots into f***en shin pads

Studnika I get. But what a waste of a trade.

Wolanin I’m not so sure. Clearly they expected or want something different than the game he plays.

Probably comes down to Breezer can PK, Wolly can't.

 

[Hammman]

Makes zero sense to not play Hirose al preseason, then waive Wolanon (who was fine) just to bring him back.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Good
I don’t get the hypes around these two

 

[wonton15]

Breezebwah over Wolanin is mehhh to me.

He may be up to increase the bonus pool for tomorrow.

If these guys clear, that Abbotsford team could be a nightmare for other teams in the Pacific. I mean, the lineup is now stacked. With Wolanin, last year's AHL top d-man returning, there now isn't a hole anywhere on this roster.

Fun times are afoot out in the Valley.

Much better players have pass through waivers
Zero chance

Wonder if it has something to do with cap management and/or possibly trading Wolanin for a defensive dman after he clears.

 

[krutovsdonut]

the hirose call up to me means nobody is going on ltir. it helps the team maximize ltir utilization with only poolman on ltir and is $12,500 better than wolanin. other than that though, is there any cap advantage to having hirose on the roster vs wolanin?

i think maybe they are just trying to sneak wolanin through to have more flexibility on call ups.

Really disappointed they’re keeping Brisebois over Wolanin by the looks of it.

It’s keeping a safe, ineffective player over a guy who actually is effective but might not tick the ‘fundamentals’ boxes in the same way to a coach.

 

[God]

I do not understand this move.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I do not understand this move.

They want someone on the PK and they don’t trust Studnicka or Aman.

 

[credulous]

He may be up to increase the bonus pool for tomorrow.

i am too lazy to look it up, but this is almost certainly some cap shenanigans and probably not indicative of what their real opening day roster will be

Exactly. I’m not going to be bothered to figure out this one aspect that is only relevant for a few minutes tomorrow.

I wonder if this is a pattern we’ll see under Rick Tocchet/Adam Foote for the next couple of years.

 

[Hammman]

After the season he had last year, I'd think some team would give Wolanin a shot.

Bogosian is in waiver, would rather pick him him
