look at the the OP

Thanks.

Hopefully Horvat pushes someone out so we can see a trade or something

 

[Zombotron]

The GDT is ready. Two more hours.

Well we do have room to keep horvat without putting anyone on waivers but Sesito should be waived as he kinda of useless with Dorsett around

he probably won't play until the third game

We have the roster space but nobody currently in the lineup is going to be happy sitting out. Sestito works as the 13th forward because it's okay if he's healthy scatched most of the time.

I cant remember.... if Horvat goes on ltir does that mean he has to be out ten games or is that only to get cap relief?

If he goes on LTIR he has to miss 10 games and 24 days.

His cap essentially comes off the books for that time period if we go over the cap, but it's not like we're up against it. His injury also doesn't seem that serious, so it's probably not going to happen.

I think Horvat is going to get that 9 game tryout........I don't think they will sent him down for a while

Anyone know what Calgary's lines might look like tomorrow? Has anything been confirmed?

So excited for tomorrow, I've been waiting for this day since June

and so it starts, another season. so glad it's finally here.

every season my dad and i say, 'maybe this will be the year'

pleeeeeeeeease!!

Disappointed that I won't be able to watch many games this year (living in Germany, the timezone difference is... inconvenient, to say the least). That said I am excited as always that a new season is about to begin!

Unfortunately I will be relying heavily on highlight packages and the expert analyses that you people have to offer after every game. Try not to make them too negative

Pretty sure the post is comparing opening game lineup for 2014 vs 2013.
Kassian wasn't in the lineup for opening night last year due to suspension.

So can they put him on short term ir n count against cap but not on the roster?

First game in nearly 6 months. Jesus.
