Still not believing anything I read until it's from the Sens

 

[Benjamin]

uhhhhhhhh

 

[BUCKLE UP]

It's no big deal. It's what New Jersey is about to do with Larsson. We'll call him up after the roster lock.

 

[Cor]

When we (Leafs) played you guys in the pre-season, he was a standout. Shocked he gets sent down

 

[Whippet]

Kassian over Mika doesn't make any sense.

I like Kass but i wouldn't put him ahead of Mika.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Certainly ties into this:

Going to be some big news out of Ottawa today. Can't wait to see twitter reaction to the cuts. #Sens


Still WTF? This could shatter all his confidence.

 

[Milan the God*]

This is shocking. He had a very solid rookie season and looked pretty good this pre-season.

It's no big deal. It's what New Jersey is about to do with Larsson. We'll call him up after the roster lock.

Garrioch confirms it.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

On the positive side, this would mean Spezza is 100% ready to go.

 

[McManked]

I'm pretty livid right now

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

what the ****

 

[Midas0]

I actually kind of like it. Make him keep working for it. He's young, this will teach him not to get complacent. Make him work HARD!

It's also a numbers game. Allows Pageau and Da Costa to play up in Ottawa.

 

[corksens]

Brutal. I like DaCosta, but not at the expense of Zibanejad.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

Normally, I am inclined to defend Mr. Melnyk so I hate to be that guy but...this has his finger prints all over it. Zibanejad makes only 70k if he's in the minors but 925k if he's sitting in the press box. I imagine as soon as Da Costa blows it, he is right back up.

 

[costermonger]

Isn't there a CBA or cap reason for doing this, and it happens to a few players every year at the end of camp?

I feel like the shock and poutrage is a familiar part of the preseason routine.

 

[starling]

Temporary measure until they figure out who to waive first - DaCosta, Smith or Kassian.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

So much for the best players play philosophy.

 

[BondraTime]

Completely out of left field. Don't understand this move

 

[Very Stable Genius]

This reeks of Melnyk.

 

[PatrickEaves]

This makes sense. This saves Eugene Melnyk at least $855,000 (does not include bonuses of up to $92,000) in salary.

I wish the above statement was

 

[Ouroboros]

The least expensive players play!

 

[Rodzilla]

This is just wrong, so wrong. Kid was one of our better players last year and he played good in pre-season too. He's our 6th overall pick our prize selection and they send him down, he's still young too so I hope they talk to him good as I expect them because they know what they are doing, but still, this is so wrong...

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Mika makes close to $2,000,000 and doesn't make that much in the minors.
Completely bogus. Melnyk sell the team already, we're preventing ourselves from using one of best young two-way forwards because of YOUR financial issues.

SO MAD.
