Good luck Taro. Hope you get a few good shifts in

Think he is the only extra forward now, if Helm is still unfit. There's really a need for that taxi group.

 

[Pavels Dog]

He rose up to taxi squad. Cool.

makes sense

Meh. I see a softish AHL player with him.

Isn't this a really good thing for him? Maybe I misread but I thought if you were assigned to the AHL you're subject to salary proration but if you're on the taxi squad you dont have to worry about it.

Hirose has 2-way contract and in taxi squad you'll get the AHL salary. No difference.

Givani Smith was promoted from taxi squad to NHL active roster (as possible healthy scratch), and he'll get NHL salary, instead of AHL salary.

No, what I mean is if you are officially assigned to the AHL you get a prorated salary because they're not playing. But if you are on the taxi squad you get all of your AHL salary... you don't get a prorated salary

You're probably right, but it's still chump change, he's made $659k the last 2 seasons being in the NHL, whereas his AHL salary is $70k for the entire season.
