Waived: Pierre-Marc Bouchard **CLEARED**

[Bunk Moreland]

If they call up strome to sit him I'm gonna go absolutely ballistic

 

[xIsle]

Vanek-JT-Strome (just to start)
Bailey-Nielsen-Okposo (let's attempt to rekindle the magic)
Nelson-(#16)-Clutterbuck
MM-Cizikas-McDonald

Probably wont happen, but I'd like to experiment for a few games

Going forward, I'd like to see:

Moulson ;-) JT-
Nelson-Strome-Okposo
Bailey-Sundstrom-FA
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

Package Grabner, Nielsen, and a pick for Yandle

#ArmchairGM

Take out Regin out of the line-up. Put Nelson there and Grabner at the left wing.

Regin over Grabner??

In all honesty, I forgot about Grabner, which I suppose is indicative of his play.

I edited it.

 

[Words Of Wisdom]

This is encouraging news at least.

 

[IHateSidney]

I wish Cappy and Snow could be placed on waivers.

 

[Flair19Woo]

^^ This

 

[stranger34]

Snow's offseason plan was to resign and rely solely on Nabby, plug and play Regin and Bouchard and count on Donovan to replace Streit's minutes.

It's December and the last man standing is Peter Regin.

Edit: I forgot Clutterbuck

 

[aemoreira1981]

Given that Ryan Strome was leading the AHL in scoring---he needs to be on the second or third line at worst. Strome is the kind of player you call up to play Top 6 minutes ideally. Regin should be the healthy scratch.

 

[CREW99AW]

Glad to see the isles make this move. What a big disappointment Bouchard has been.

You paying attention Regin/ Bailey/Grabner?

 

[It Was 4 to 1*]

happy about this move, i didn't see it coming but i'm glad it happened. bouchard is too soft to play in the nhl


Bailey - Tavares - Nelson
Vanek - Strome - Okposo
Grabner - Nielsen - Clutterbuck
Martin - Cizikas - McDonald

De Haan - Hamonic
MacDonald - Hickey
Ness - Carkner

 

[JimmySlice91]

I think the forward lines should look like this

Vanek - Tavares - Nelson
Bailey - Nielsen - Okposo
Grabner - Strome - Clutterbuck
Martin - Cizikas - McDonald

Martin - Cizikas - McDonald

With the personnel we have, I agree that these are the optimal lines. Reuniting the 2nd line could jumpstart Bailey and re-ignite Frans to give us some much needed secondary scoring. Strome can be sheltered on the 3rd line and most likely get extensive PP time. Nelson's brief stint as a top line player wasn't bad at all, I'd like to see more especially with Vanek in the lineup.

I'd go with:

Vanek Tavares Okposo
Nelson Strome Bailey
Grabner Nielsen Clutterbuck
Martin Cizikas CMac

 

[Symon Asher]

CMac should be next to go AHL skills at best. Seasons done bring up Lee Let's see what he's got.

Lol & traded Nino.
Absolutely horrible.

 

[BigWorm]

I'd go with:

Vanek Tavares Okposo

Grabner Nielsen Clutterbuck
Martin Cizikas CMac

Great second line by pairing two rookies with one of the worst top six forwards we have iced this year. That line is built for success

 

[Macch]

Cleared!!!!

[IslesRock4]

Awesome, now we have a talented forward to call up from the AHL.

 

[Felix Unger]

Cleared!!!!

Oh, that's too funny...

 

[stranger34]

Cleared!!!!

lol, so Snow just just burned a $2M hole in Wang's pocket.

How many teams have to bury their key FA acquisition in the AHL before the new year? (Which begs the question how many teams only spend 1 year $2M on their key FA targets)

I hope Laviolette getting a coaching gig here wasn't relying on a different waiver wire roulette result.

 

[seabass45]

Vanek - Tavares - Nelson

Grabner - Strome - Clutterbuck

Posted the same lineup in the general forum (with Regin as a possibility on the 4th), great minds...

I'm unsure why people think Lavy would want to join this circus with this GM, with this owener, especially after what you just said about our "key" signing.

I can't see a legit coach that would want to come here.

I know Bailey Nielse and KO has nice chemistry last season, but I'll be pretty pissed off if Strome is brought here to play on the third line.

We're SUPPOSE to put our younger players in a position to succeed. I know we don't normally but for **** sake.

Ohhh ***** i guess that means the penny pinching wang still is paying his full salary...

I agree.

I'd like to see a total rebalancing re-shuffle.

Something like:

Grabner - Tavares - Okposo

Vanek - Nielsen - Strome

Bailey - Nelson - Clutterbuck

Martin - Cizikas - Boulton/CMac
