This is such a tank move that the NHL needs to start investigating us.

Rochester D looking lights out now.

@BillHoppeNHL: A little surprised Mark Pysyk went down. I think this is probably more "conditioning." I would imagine he'd be back soon.

wherz all z tradez?

I agree. Give him a few games in Rochester, and swap him with Strachan once Pysyk is ready for NHL game action.

Pretty nice D-corps in Rochester right now:

Bagnall-Pysyk
McCabe-Ruhwedel
Petrecki-McKenzie

Though knowing the philosophy of playing contract players over guys with only AHL deals, JGL may be in over McKenzie.

That's what I was thinking. If they're sending them down to stay there permanently, that's got tank written all over it.

Agree. Psysk will return.

Pysyk might get re-called eventually, but I think McCabe is going to stay. Then next season...

Gorges-Myers
McCabe-Ristolainen
Weber/Zadorov-Pysyk - Zadorov in Rochester for at least half a season if not longer

I don't want to be patient to see our eventual D-corps, but McEichel is worth it.

Lame. Roster moves have been completely uninspiring so far under Murray.

 

[B U F F A L O]

I guess I'm the only one who is okay with this?

Lame. Roster moves have been completely uninspiring so far under Murray.

So you would've thrust two guys into NHL games who haven't played in a couple weeks? Don't you think it's fair to both of those guys to let them get their conditioning up and their games in order at the AHL level?

I'm sorry the logical path is so uninspiring...

 

[Zip15]

I'm fine with it. McCabe was a no-doubter. They probably want Pysyk to get his conditioning up and allow him to work out the kinks in Rochester. He'll be up within a month.

Will you please! Please stop thinking logical. Think emotional.

I don't think he's here for OUR entertainment. I'm not expecting anything inspiring until the deadline, if we have a top 2 pick locked up, I would then think a surprising move would be on the way.

He's here to make HOCKEY decisions, not be an armchair GM.

Hopefully that's all it is. I'm not sure I can watch a full season of us voluntarily electing to play guys like Benoit/Strachan over Pysyk.

I hate to see Pysyk get sent down, as he'd immediately be the 3rd or 4th best defenseman on the team...but a few games in Roch to get back in the swing of things isn't a bad idea. As long as he's back sooner rather than later, I'm fine with this. He's NHL ready, there shouldn't be any doubt whatsoever about that.

 

[Moskau]

Drouin saw more training camp action and he was sent down on a conditioning stint as well. What is Yzerman thinking!?!?

 

[joshjull]

I can see a scenario in a few weeks or so where Pysyk is called back up and Risto replaces him in Rochester.

 

[Beerz]

If it is in fact just a conditioning stint for Pisser then I'm fine with it. Otherwise it's pretty silly.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

I'd bet on this too if Risto doesn't break out of his funk.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Develop winning attitude in Rochester, with guys your own age or be part of the worst two years in the history of the NHL...please send them all back and win...including 23
