Spots for Reaves to have and Neal to return to.

I imagine we'll see Hyka again after Monday.

Also SinBin speculates...

Yeah if Hyka is back Monday afternoon it makes no difference. Not going to worry about Matteau, if they actually play Reaves he gets his spot.

Hyka and Perri are the two from the wolves that I think could really help Tuch on the 3rd line. I hope Hyka is back later next week and Perri gets a chance. They have buried Garrison most of the year. I haven't seen Eakins deal but I'm sure they could waive him then send him to Chicago. No one is picking him up off waivers at his contract.

I agree this is probably the time you could pass Eakin through waivers but there are other considerations. Do that to a veteran and you cause a lot of animosity and concern the other vets. If it was last year of a deal you can sell the move but not this much term left. You are basically threatening years in the minors. You basically are going to lose the player. Seeing that they will have to use him at times, if not regularly, they just can't do that even if he's clearly not living up to hopes to this point.

Reaves got roster spot by putting Neal on IR. So only one of them needed to be assigned for Neal to be activated.

So, could be something else is coming.

Theodore was also just out with the flu.

I think we're looking a little too deeply into the whole assignment thing. You're going to want Theodore in the Kings games.

Eakin is worlds better than Pirri. There is literally only one thing Brandon Pirri does well on a hockey rink and that is shoot the puck. He's terrible defensively, slow, and doesn't win board battles.
