[Henkka]

Jimmy coming back from his AHL-conditioning.

 

[GBFP]

What about Detroit claiming Czarnik? Was due off LTIR conditioning stint and Calgary didn't have room in their top 12 for him.

At this point claiming Czarnik or Noesen would just push possibly Zadina but more likely Ehn down to GR to make room for another bottom 6 winger. I'd rather they leave the flexibility to call up a Smith, Svechnikov or Rasmussen if they need some help on wing.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I will never forget him

 

[ThankGord]

Hope he clears, Comrie/Pickard would be nice to have in GR.

 

[ShelbyZ]

I wonder if the Jets put in a claim. Seemed like he was in their plans as goaltending depth for this and next season and they currently have only one other goalie under contract.

Otherwise you have:

-New Jersey: Seems like their done with Schneider, and his replacement Domingue is currently hurt and has a stellar .86 SV% in the NHL this year

-Toronto: Maybe take a shot on someone being better than Hutchinson?

 

[Dotter]

I don't know why anyone would want to claim him unless they to surrender 6 goals every time he plays...

New Jersey will claim him, I think. They have first dibs on the waiver wire over Toronto.

I truly don't care if he is claimed but I actually wouldn't have minded Jimmy staying in the AHL or in the press box. Be nice to just close the chapter. I guess if Yzerman wants to try a long shot of trading howard as a rental he needs to be active

 

[Oddbob]

97% chance he clears with ease!

 

[Kronwalled55]

Thinking he would clear, you know, because he's kind of bad.

 

[Bench]

Um, bold claim. Do you have any data to back that up?

 

[Bondurant]

Comrie's numbers in NHL leave much to be desired but the sample size is small. His numbers in AHL are much better with more data.

I can never tell when you're serious or joking

The numbers tell a whole story on their own (Winnipeg & Detroit), but he also shows signs of someone that's not comfortable in his own crease right now. I wouldn't mind keeping him in the AHL though. He's young enough to figure something out with time & reps.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

97% chance he clears with ease!

3% worried, not.

 

[ShelbyZ]

I guess that means the Jets would have to waive him again, so if Yzerman really wants to keep him, he could claim him back and send him straight to GR.

 

[Retire91]

poor guy being bounced around like a pin ball lol

 

[Bench]

I can never tell when you're serious or joking

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I could pay off an Abdelkader buyout.

 

[RedMenace]

I can never tell when you're serious or joking

I just assume everyone is serious all the time unless they use emojis.

Seriously.

 

[bedtime20]

poor guy being bounced around like a pin ball lol

yah probably not helping his play

 

[Lil Bert]

I dont think anyone would put in a claim for a Red Wings player out of pure pity

 

[GreatGordie9]

No surprise!!!!!!!!

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Seriously.

Oh screw you.

So if he's claimed, we essentially traded Vili Saarijarvi for a rental during a stretch of games where we won two times and are dead last. Was Saarijarvi that expendable? Was this essentially a contract dump?

Curious what the thoughts are of those who watch the Griffins.
