I'm really surprised we didn't qualify Bednard, especially after trading Levi. The rest I could leave or take.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Phew…

 

[SoupyFIN]

So guys that didn't get qualified:

Wallmark
Bajkov
Morrison

Massie
Rauhauser

Bednard

We might still sign him, but yes, it does look odd. I would've thought Monty is the one walking.

Also Lammikko, please put the poor guy out of his misery and let him try with another team.

omg no bednard wtf

 

[kerrabria]

Very surprised that both Lammikko and Juulsen were qualified.

I still think that Lammikko will leave for Europe. Honestly seems like kind of a dick move to not even give him a chance to field offers from another team who might want to give him a 12th/13th/14th forward role. Because he is completely outranked here.

I'd reckon that Q liked something about their game... which is completely unknown to me. Lammikko, for an instance, is a decent player: doesn't hurt you but doesn't provide anything you'd trade assets for.

Zito is like me on NHL be a GM mode.

Barkov did say Lammikko is a great teammate in one of his interviews, so maybe they want a depth guy like that around. Doesn't hurt that he can play center or LW.

But yes, I can agree with you that we should've let him try with another team. Maybe they're hoping to swap RFA rights with someone?

I agree that he's a fine 13th forward. Serviceable 4C given the right line mates.
Issue is that he's what? Our 17th best forward at this point? And number our number 7 center on the depth chart? I'd be floored if he got a single game this year.

It's difficult for him to play for the Panthers just by looking at the depth charts even if he played well in the AHL. I'd expect him to be traded at some point for another AHLer. Dominic Toninato got himself a two year deal (2way + 1way) with the Jets so it would be best for Lammikko himself to be traded to somewhere else.

Im more surprised that they qualified Lammikko. Lammikko and Reinhardt Forwards 14 Lundell 15, Denisenko 16 + late PTO and conditioning pick ups. sure more depth = more competition and with the Situation you better keep one more. But what and where is the Goal for Lammikko?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Lammikko is good depth and he's higher on the depth chart than a lot of you guys are saying. He'll be on the roster. Denisenko and Hepo won't see any games unless it's as a callup. Management I'm sure wants them to get tons of playing time in Charlotte, not get minimal minutes on the 4th line or sit in the press box.

So, what’s the word on Keeper??

 

[SoupyFIN]

So, what’s the word on Keeper??

Group 6 UFA.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

He was not a keeper.

 

[Laus723]

He was not a keeper.

Lol nice.

Group 6 UFA.

thanks. All the best to him, didn’t look terrible in his games imo, hope he catches on somewhere.

I genuinely think they like Lammy and what he brings to the ice.

He's a solid extra forward that can handle defensive responsibility. Those guys don't grow on trees.
