Can Del Zotto get a conditioning stint, he has not played a reg season game since early Spring

He can, but he won't.

I don't know what they will do to clear space for MDZ.

Send down Laughton properly during/after the 14 day stint.

Either send down AMac or trade a Dman.


I mean... they might just send down Laughton and Lyubimov... but that would be so annoying.

But MacDonald can't go down while injured.

True. LTIR would not be ideal... again.

AMac cant even get injured at the right time!

On the contrary, he probably went home and threw himself down the stairs a few times. IR with the Flyers >> riding the bus down to LHV.

If MacDonald isn't put on IR, technically he's not considered injured, right?

Well, depends on how/if NHLPA would look into this.

It's not worth the potential trouble coming out of the situation...
