Confirmed with Link: Krys Barch Traded to Florida

[Mgd31]

Fact 1: Lou did not feel comfortable paying an NHL salary to a player in the AHL
Fact 2: Barch had a one-way contract

Therefore, Lou traded Barch because he didn't want to send him down and pay him an NHL salary to play in the AHL.

There's absolutely nothing to read into about this other than that. Janssen, Kinkaid and Urbom will be sent down shortly and we'll have our 23 man roster.

So why would we have to waive Gionta then?

Edit: We have to cut 4 not 3 more players.

 

[njdss4]

Hallelujah! One goon gone, one to go. Please cut Janssen, send down Gio if necessary, and the roster is set.

 

[NJDevs26]

Gio was actually the longest line I waited in at the BBQ today lol, well him or Zubrus. I'm not counting Elias/Zajac/Henrique/Jagr/Schnieder since I wasn't in those lines but after that the little guy's still kinda popular.

Yea, I didn't include Gionta in those cuts by mistake

He's on a 2-way. It's virtually guaranteed he's sent down.

We would have to waive him though. Two-way contracts have nothing to do with waivers.

With severson Merrill gelinas. Larson. There is no need for urbom. I would like to see if we could get a nice pick for him He has been in system for 3 yrs and although its tough to tell I don't see him improving as fast as some of the others.

 

[captainscott]

This is another great move By Lou a useless player and we improve a draft position and get what appears to be a decent ahl player. Bravo

 

[captainscott]

Janssen will clear waivers.

Yes he will. We have carter and bernier that add fourth line toughness should be able to get through w this.

best of luck to barch. he was a trooper during his stint here and I always thought a decent player for an "enforcer"

It's nice to see the guy get traded instead of going to ahl for all parties involved he definitely was a warrior

 

[Bleedred]

I never really cringed when he was on the ice like I did Cam. He just wasn't in the top 14 best forwards on our team anymore. Last year he was, but not this year.

Well said

 

[Banana Sandwiches]

The amount of trash this guy gets, you must be pumped.

Unnecessary trash too. With the way last season went, Barch was probably one of the few Devils that actually did his job.

Oh well, I wish him the best of luck in Florida.

 

[apice3*]

We have 27 guys on the roster.

If we cut the two-way guys (Janssen, Kinkaid, Urbom, Gionta), we will be at 23. Kinkaid is the only one waiver exempt. Janssen will clear. Not sure about the other two.

If Lou is only going to waive the two-ways, then Tedenby has made the team. Good for him.

Only problem now is we have to scratch a young player which sort of hinders further development. Two of Loktionov, Josefson, Olesz, and Tedenby have to sit every night when healthy.

 

[Banana Sandwiches]

Yes he will. We have carter and bernier that add fourth line toughness should be able to get through w this.

Carter and Bernier really aren't tough guys though. I don't want either of them to feel obligated to fight because no one else on the team (except Clowe) can throw down. Plus, I think Bernier should be on the 3rd line since he's a good amount of skill. I still feel he can score 15-20 goals a year.

 

[Bleedred]

They must have really wanted Barch gone to bring this loser into the organization. I didn't even realize it was the same guy until TG posted this! I remember hearing about this when it happened, but didn't remember the guys name.

This guy really takes the cake on sketchiness of guys in our organization.

Looks like I was already beaten to it.

 

[NJDevs26]

So who makes more of a contribution to Albany, this guy Timmins or the jabroni we got back for Tallinder lol

Probably neither haha.

So the question that really needs to be asked after seeing that mugshot. What's Timmins face and hair looking like right now?

like dis?

 

[JimEIV]

Getting drunk and sleeping on some unknown persons couch is a crime?

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

The fact that Lou went out of his today to say that he doesn't think toughness is going to be an issue for this team makes me a bit more relieved. Janssen somehow sticking around was in the back of my mind after this deal but I don't see anyway hes still here on Monday.

 

[Roomtemperature]

Kyle Barch is gone I can't see them carrying a goon after this.

Yeah that's how I feel too. If they were gonna keep a goon up then they just would have kept Barch and sent Janssen down. Barch is much better, and much more competent than Cam is.

Lou could wind up trolling us all and leave Janssen up. Pete's already been trolling us by saying Janssen can forecheck, he's a good skater, and can make a nice play with the puck.

 

[Guttersnipe]

Lou said he didn't want to pay a player an NHL salary to play in the AHL. So he traded Barch and will send Urbom, Cam, Gio, Kinky to Albany where their salaries add up to $350,000. And thanks to the new CBA, they can be called up without all that "reentry waiver" nonsense. Is it worth an extra 1m to keep one of those guys as a spare forward and send Teddy down?

Except Urbom, an NHL ready d-man will be claimed off waivers.
