Recalled/Assigned: Jordan Schroeder sent down
- Thread starter Nuckles
- Start date
On the trade call they mentioned that Schroeder was sent down to make room for Roy. I know that conflicts with what opendoor said so not sure... Whatever the case, we'll know by Thursday whether this is a roster shuffling move or actual re-assignment.

Yeah, the NHL guy pretty much directly said that Schroeder being reassigned allowed the trade to happen. It could be that he just wasn't paying attention to or mentioning Barker, but who knows.
He'll probably fly to Chicago, report to the Wolves, turn around and head back to the airport once Barker clears. Interesting though that they would waive a D, Barker, instead of a forward like Ebbett or Sestito considering that Ballard is still out.
No more roster limits tomorrow, so it makes more sense that someone would claim him now.

There are a few possibilities. It could be he was actually sent down to stay down. Or perhaps they anticipated adding Clowe and wanted to clear another spot. It's hard to tell right now. But technically Barker being placed on waivers could've cleared the space they needed for Roy if they'd wanted to keep Schroeder up. Not to mention Sweatt or Jensen could've also been sent down. Given that, I'm inclined to think this was a re-assignment, though who knows at this time of year.
For anyone interested, here's the CBA passage with some irrelevant stuff removed:
if they were looking to add at least two more players...it was prudent to plan ahead..
they may have the new guys play to see what they have ..get a few games in for Schroeder befofe getting him back?....an if they dont get more bodies they can recall him

I thought this was the intent and the video does seem to confirm it.
Did anyone read this tweet this morning and does it make any difference? And Connauton is shown as recalled by the Canucks on the AHL transaction page.
If they had to recall him, they would have had to sent someone down, right? Schroeder being that guy.

Go ahead foot
They are just opening roster spots to have room for deals. We won't know if Schroeder is coming back until all the deals are done.

I'd leave him down for the weeked. They play 3 games down there, see how he does.

Relax. Ebbett is a temporary thing for a few games this week until Kesler is back. Once Kesler is back in the lineup, there's no room for Schroeder. Henrik-Kesler-Roy-Lapierre, and with one 5'9" Center in Roy already playing, i don't think we necessarily want another one. And as posters have griped about ad nauseum...Schroeder centering the 4th line is a total waste. He's not going to develop there, and Lapierre is going to have more positive impact in that role anyway.
So you have him playing in the minors and hope that he comes back up for the playoffs with the same sort of intensity boost and confidence he's had the last two times he's been called up this year.

you say that and than someone else gets injured and Ebbett is killing a PK against Kane/Toews/Hossa/Keith/Seabrook in the first round of the playoffs....
There's no real reason for Ebbett to PK given that they're about to add Kesler and Roy to the line-up, both guys that PK. Kesler, Roy, Burrows, Higgins, Raymond, Lapierre... there's just no reason to think that Ebbett will be on the PK now that we have another center who can do it.

Especially since Ebbett faceoff ability is a fair bit worse than Roy's (who's medicore to begin with). There isn't anything Ebbett does that Roy can't do better (both offense or defense & Roy is hardly a Selke candidate).
he can be like Seguin I don't think he played in every Boston game.......I would play Jordon when the opponent is a skill team but if it is physical team don't play him......

As an in-game thing, sure, maybe. But at the same time, when healthy i don't think Ebbett is even in the lineup either. And if it's a multi-game injury, you swap Schroeder in next game and hope he can get it done. Schroeder will be up with the team come playoffs. May not draw in to every game, but he will be there and with the way injuries happen, he will probably be needed at some point.
And Schroeder isn't going to be killing penalties anyway, even when he has been with the Canucks...AV doesn't have him killing penalties. So i'm not really sure what that has to do with Ebbett.
No reason doesn't mean AV won't make it happen though.
I'd think that's the idea at least. He'll be the youngster there for depth purposes. If there's an injury, Schroeder will slot in. The downside is, unlikely Seguin, Schroeder isn't particularly useful as a winger. It's sort of...center or bust for him. which makes it trickier to just slot him in here or there.

To be fair, Roy has finished 14th in voting for the Selke one year...I think that represents a level of defense far above what most Canucks fans are expecting.

Just saying... as long as Ebbett is around... AV will have him killing penalties no matter the line up with have. So i prefer Ebbett off the team as a result. Just because of AV.
