And so it begins...

Yes, the cap we must be toeing
For the assignments keep on going
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

 

[KirbyDots]

Two Terriers on the roster! We should trade for Shattenkirk!

Someone with some extra time on their hands needs to keep a running tally of the number of air miles each player ends up with in re-assignments.

Pelech isn't needed for the Yotes.

I didn't see anything that Pelech did wrong before TM started going with 11 forwards. He was just slow and less than skilled. It screwed up the Pavs line. IMO, TM might want to be working with 12. Pelech got very short minutes. Going to Woostah as opposed to SF may indicate that they won't be bouncing Pelech so much.

Rumor is they negotiated with Pelech and gave him his NHL salary while in SF so he would accept the assignment there the first time...I can't see SJ making a habit of that.

Freddie who?

I don't know about anyone else but I was cracking up when I saw Pelech in the opening line up ceremony....he had this smug yet 'im going to kill you' look on his face.
I will always remember him for that, but yeh would rather have Burish out there than him.

That could explain it too. Also, McCarthy gets NHL pay either way according to capgeek. In terms of real payroll they are way up there because undoubtedly they aren't getting insurance money for Havlat or Torres.

Last year, I noted that TM was balancing minutes a lot more than in the past. I will continue to look this year at the balance of minutes. Last night was unusual for TM as Hannan and Pelech fell far below the curve of what was normal last year.

Having 7 power plays would alter minutes..I noticed Hannan only played 12:27.

Even with the imbalance, it was still below. Boyle got almost 2min of PK time. Irwin was the only one held off PK.

It's only one game, but it bears watching for both defense and forwards.

McCarthy sucks big time. Would love to see what Hamilton could bring vs this plug.

He has that face about 99% of the time...the other 1% of the time he's actually killing someone.

I can't see why that would matter one way or the other...

[Juxtaposer]

Pelech actually wasn't terrible. But IIRC McCarthy is a solid-decent PKer.

Plattner has had statements going each way. Initially, free spending . . . then a little more prudent.

He's way more toward "free spending" right now. He is of course limited in payroll with the cap, but the scouting budget (both pro and amateur) has been increased a large margin.

How has Hamilton gone from on the roster to behind Pelech and McCarthy in 3 days?

… and all without playing ice hockey.

McCarthy actually had a really good camp and pre-season.

They are looking to fill a 4th line role, McCarthy does that.

 

[KirbyDots]

Just remembered that McCarthy played with Desi on the "crazed rats" line in Wor. Wonder if that's the kind of game Koala wants for the 4th line.

 

[LeeIFBB]

It's a pro-cess. Don't you guys know that by now?
