The problem is though that Reimer has looked pretty good and steady. He may fit pretty well with our structure. Lyon looks great too, don't get me wrong, but I don't think we can just cast Reimer to the side so quickly.looking at the roster waving fischer is almost a certainty. Then probably easiest thing to do would be put danielsson back in the WHL.
Would be pretty unorthodox to carry 12 forwards, 8 D, and 3 goalies.
wonder if they discussed with reimer possiblity he would start in the AHL when they signed him.
Can't lyon go to AHL if we don't carry 3 goalies? That seems like the most likely option tbh.
So Nylander still hasn't gotten a contract......I think the unpopular way to adjust the roster jam is trading actual useful players for solid return allowing younger guys to step in.
Example, trade Maatta over Chariot. Is either really apart of the roster long-term?
Another one is trading David Perron. Like, what cut Fischer just so Danielson can play low minutes? Doesn't make much sense imo. Idk if trading Compher/Copp/Rasmussen is right, they can fit in long-term and two are signed.
Package Perron/Maatta/and a 1st rdp, and you can get an actual shot at trading for a good player for the long-term.
I like Maatta and I could see him being here long term, so I differ with you there. Maatta played the system correctly from day one, got pneumonia and had to go to the third line but still played effectively, just not as much offense as he was prior (but we didn't sign him for his offense because he doesn't really have that. Known as a defensive defensemen IIRC)
