Interesting, anyone being called up?

 

[selltrade]

didnt see that coming

 

[DanM]

Not expected?

 

[Canada4Gold]

I expect him to clear. There's a reason Pittsburgh paid us a 4th to take him last year, and that reasons name wasn't Frank Corrado. He's been ok for us, but isn't worth his salary.

The more interesting part comes with doing this and sending Rosen down. Figured Rosen would stay down for good but I guess they wanted Polak playing tonight and that was the only way to get him on the roster in the meantime and maybe Rosen will be back up after Fehr clears or is claimed.

 

[PromoterDave]

Roman Polak in

Rosen or Marincin probably. It was clear with Moore in the roster two nights in a row that he won the battle for 4th line C.

 

[SprDaVE]

They want to bring back Rosen up probably. 8D and 13F

Marincin back up to go 13 F 8 D?

seems weird why bother sending rosen down at all, just waive fehr oh I guess it takes 24 hours for waivers doesn't it I see.

Could it be mutual termination waivers?

 

[ToneDog]

Marincin back up to go 13 F 8 D?

God no. Hoping this is Aaltonen's shot.

 

[ACC1224]

No biggie but timing seems odd

Rosen was sent down because they clearly wanted Polak in the lineup today and Fehr can't clear until tomorrow.

My guess is Rosen comes back up (unless they go with a forward). Marincin seems to be gaining some confidence down with the Marlies so it makes no sense to bring him up so soon. If he has a future with us it makes sense to let him get a good few months of play in

 

[PromisedLand]

Trade incoming?

Rosen isn't playing tonight so it doesn't really matter. Must have been some reason they wanted the roster spot earlier as I think they could have waived him under the condition that if he clears he goes down so to clear the roster spot immediately.

Wouldn't be termination waivers. They specify unconditional waivers for termination and Fehr wouldn't agree to lose that money. Overpaid guys don't agree to terminate.

 

[Walshy7]

Trade incoming?

a common trade?

 

[bobermay]

Trade incoming?

If Fehr clears, he'll be even more tradeable!

 

[Buds17]

God no. Hoping this is Aaltonen's shot.

No disagreement there; just seems that Babcock might prefer 8 D over 14 F. Unless we like someone on waivers or trade? (another guess on my part, don't know who's out there)

 

[fahad203]

God no. Hoping this is Aaltonen's shot.

This maybe a strong possibility. I think Babs wants to give Alto a chance. Worse case, you can always call Fehr back up

Rosen should stay in AHL for a while. He's very overwhelmed with speed and physicality in NHL.

 

[saltming]

8 D deep

 

[DarkKnight]

Why would you bring Rosen back up to sit? He needs to play.

 

[The Iceman]

Fehr was undefeated while in the lineup this season i believe. I had advantage Fehr in the battle for the 4thC spot. Management sees something else.
