Hope Skille/Poulin not claimed, the rest won't be.

 

[24diving]

only one with a chance of not clearing imo is Poulin -- not sure if any team can afford to keep him up on the nhl club tho -- is a backup needed anywhere?

 

[SI90]

Would love for Ness to get claimed.

Skille the only mild surprise, given the injury situation. If Grabner is ready to go than this isn't a surprise at all.

Many more to go. Pokka to Bridgeport. Hope he reports instead.of going back to Finland. Kid needs to adjust to drink size and speed of game over here. Sooner he does this, the better off he is.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

It takes a lot of Skille to waive your ANess' and Leggio's in the air.

Did we just moon the league?

Agree with all the movement, particularly Poulin and Ness.

 

[SI90]

If Markstrom didn't get claimed then maybe Poulin won't but who knows.

I heard in Europe the cups/portions are a lot smaller. Our small is their supersize.

 

[Renbarg]

Nothing surprising out of both the waiver and waiver-exempt groups. I doubt anyone gets claimed either.

The tough cuts are yet to come. Maybe even a few weeks into the season given the injuries.

Lmao.... auto correct. Nice work

But Holmgren is Holmgren, and he lives to dive in our dumpster.

No chance Poulin is claimed. Nobody needs a goalie, and nobody would want Poulin to be the backup this year.

 

[seabass45]

I could see the Avs picking up Poulin if they have room. It's up to Roy.

 

[Islanderfan17]

Hopefully Poulin clears

[Levi Walking Bear]

Maybe Pokka is going to play in Bridgeport, wound't they have assigned him to his team in Finland?

Staple has been saying finland. However in that interview posted here, he clearly states he's going to play in NA, whether or not he makes the isles.

 

[qmjhlisles]

Ross Johnston is still left too correct?

Thanks, forgot about that article.

Today's #Isles lines in practice: Conacher-Tavares-Okposo, Grabovski-Nelson-Strome, Bailey-Nielsen-Kulemin, Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck...

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Hmm, I liked what I saw from Skille, I was hoping he'd stick around and bump McDonald off the team.

Would Winnipeg seriously consider picking up Poulin? (Probably not)

With Grabner on the shelf that leaves Lee, McDonald, Boulton and the immortal Ross Johnston without a line.

I approve, except I expect Lee to replace Conacher at some point in the near future. The second and third line combos have potential. Now if we could trade Grabner for Methot.

 

[Renbarg]

Johnston probably got hurt. I don't think you can send down a hurt player.
