That's a weird reason. His job send him to the Amazon or something?

IC obviously had inside info on the Pens organization, ie was an employee of some sort. Im guessing someone figured out who he was and told him to choose between hfboards.com and his continued employment. Not a hard decision.

I work in the space industry, and I float around a bit on space related forums. It's very tempting to post there, but with the inside information I have I just can't.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Kirk has stated in another thread that IC won't be back due to professional reasons. Unfortunately.

He would be great for information on the Fleury situation. Ah well, he will be missed.

 

[Corvidae]

Morehouse must have put him on Fleury-marketing duty. That's a rough beat but he's doing a hell of a job.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

McIlrath and Paajarvi on waivers. McIlrath would be interesting I guess, but I doubt he falls to us.

 

[Corvidae]

McIlrath and Paajarvi on waivers. McIlrath would be interesting I guess, but I doubt he falls to us.

What a disappointment Paajarvi turned out to be. And if DP is indeed out for "a while," a guy like McIlrath would make sense for a 6/7 spot. He wouldn't be bumping anyone with potential. Prow is in freakin' Wheeling and Bengtsson has freakin' Lyme disease. Those are the only two guys I'm really curious about. Otherwise we're one more injury away from Oleksy.

But alas, you're right. Someone will probably snag him.

Kinda wish that we would have sent over a minor pick (no more than a 5th) for him before he got waived.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Give me McIlrath over Ian Cole. He is bigger, meaner, tougher, and can actually get a shot through from the point. If I was a Ranger fan, I would be livid. This team could use a tough SOB who is capable of clearing the crease and moving the puck forward.

Random factoid, they waived him but kept Adam Clendening on the roster. Interesting choice.

He would certainly bring in a new element to our team. Not sure if it would benefit us or not, but it would be interesting. However he is not better than Cole. McIlrath plays on the right side anyway.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Clendening has supposedly been doing good in New York. I myself kind of liked him here.

AV hated McIlrath for some unjustified reason. Just like he used to play Tanner Glass over Oscar Lindberg.

I wouldn't. Cole has been very, VERY good for us considering his role. I've been very pleased with the Cole-Schultz paring. With that, I would absolutely 100% claim McIlrath if given the chance. Just to see what you have in him. Big body, physical, can fight. Not sure about his speed but he'd be a solid #7.

Clendening has supposedly been doing good in New York. I myself kind of liked him here.

AV hated McIlrath for some unjustified reason. Just like he used to play Tanner Glass over Oscar Lindberg.

I thought Clendening did a fine job while he was here. I thought it was a freaking outrage that Scuderi was in the lineup over him. Was bummed to lose him but not crushed. I would have taken him as a #7. No better or worse than Warsofsky. Would have preferred to have kept Chorney but oh well.

So here's an unrelated question about the exp draft. Let's say we choose the 7F, 3D route. We have 6 forwards and 4 dmen we want to keep. Could we "convert" Pouliot (for example) to a wing and protect him as a wing as a way to get around having to expose him?

Like serious run a 4th line of Kuhnhackl-Cullen-Pouliot from say Feb onward.

Michel Therrien is behind you 100%, but I'm not sure about anyone else.

That is an interesting question though. Guys like Buff and Burns have some history at both positions but I imagine they'd call bull on doing that with DP. I could only see that working if it already started happening, which it can't, because he's hurt, and would be really weird.

Jesus. I thought only Labrador retrievers got that these days. What, was this guy rolling around in a nest of ticks?

No worries I've gotten in the habit of getting them ready ahead of time so I can copy in the last dozen or so posts. Since it copies in chronological order, it gets weird if the thread is started after the last post.

I could have sworn that dude lived in Canada, how did he also work for the Penguins?

 

[Sideline]

I could have sworn that dude lived in Canada, how did he also work for the Penguins?

My guess is that some of his firm's clients were Penguins connected. Either way if it's your job or your internet friends it's not a hard choice.

 

[Hottubber]

IC didn't seem to be very accurate. He just threw some stuff against the wall, and hoped it would stick

He had Fleury at what, 90% chance traded at the draft. Then the next day 75% or something like that. A lot of his posts were most likely speculation on his part.

Its gets eaten up on boards like this cause we all want to hear a good rumor in hopes it will be true.

 

[Shrimper]

I think trading Eric Fehr is the priority at the moment, the guy just doesn't work for us and isn't worth the $2m he is on.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I too would like the team to put in a claim for McIlrath. It makes sending down Sestito easier, and also Warsofsky. Two role players replaced by one. For a team up against the cap, that's huge.

Also, he is still only 24 years old. If he pans out, we wouldn't have to worry about Trouba. Not saying he is as good but the main reason to acquire Trouba is to add a more physical, shutdown component to the blueline brigade.

Start him out as the No. 7 defenseman and proceed from there. I would love to hear the Rangers' fans reaction if we claimed him. They are still miffed that Hagelin is ours.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I think trading Eric Fehr is the priority at the moment, the guy just doesn't work for us and isn't worth the $2m he is on.

Really? Fehr has been very good for us, basically ever since he arrived. Besides, he is signed through next season (which is important so that we can expose him in the expansion draft).

I think there is a decent chance Fehr gets claimed by Vegas...George McPhee knows him well and reacquired him for Washington after leaving for Winnipeg.

I think it benefits us greatly to keep Fehr around.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I think trading Eric Fehr is the priority at the moment, the guy just doesn't work for us and isn't worth the $2m he is on.

He brings size, PK ability, and enough skill to put up 20+ points from the 4th line.

That has some value for us, even if I'd be open to moving him in a deal for a low-cost top 6 player like TR was speculating (ie Hansen or someone). He's movable for the right deal, but he's not a liability or anything.

 

[SEALBound]

HF crashed for awhile...was expecting to find a blockbuster trade thread...was disappointed

 

[Stad]

I think trading Eric Fehr is the priority at the moment, the guy just doesn't work for us and isn't worth the $2m he is on.

Fehr has been one of our best players so far this season lol. Kuhn-Cullen-Fehr is one of the best 4th lines in the league.
