New York Islanders: Roster Discussion: Ladd torn ACL; Fritz out 6-8 weeks

[YearlyLottery]

I would assume this is why Lamoriello did not use the final call up on JHS as well. He is not a center and that final call up may be needed for a center potentially.

This is somehow Lamoriello’s fault

 

[MJF]

I’m assuming we get Filppula back mid-first round. Hoping for earlier. Lou may be happy with Leo at center but it makes me queasy.

I thought after the trade deadline you can have as many players as you want on your roster(at least within the 50 c0ntract limit)

Do we have any more centers in the organization? I thought tanner was the last one.

I suppose they could call up Koivula if needed. You are right when you say there isn't much, but they could need it in a pinch.

Yes but there is a limit on how many players you can call up. Once the playoffs begin that is when the call ups are unlimited though I believe.

Koivula is a scratch today in Bridgeport. Hmmmmm.....

Called up for tomorrow. Given #91. Knocks out TAvares in a fight on his way to a Gordie Howe hat trick.

Called up for tomorrow. Given #91. Knocks out TAvares in a fight on his way to a Gordie Howe hat trick.

And he wins the game in a shootout going full speed while wearing Islanders' pajamas.

There's a limit on call ups after the deadline, each team gets 4 non-emergency call ups.

Filppula skating.

Looks lie Flip may be ready for round 1. If not, I guess we're going with Komarov as 3C to start the playoffs and Kuhnackl in there.

Filppula skating.

My son's hockey practice Saturday morning was during the Isles bag skate. He was on the ice with them too. Not wearing an injury jersey. I'm thinking he is back mid series

Tough break for the AHL immortal Tanner Fritz, but his absence won't be missed. I would bring up Otto Koivula and give him NHL experience.

ps: personally, I rather have Mitch Fritz, who had better hands than Tanner Fritz.

Trotz would prefer Leo on the wing, as would I, but he's not bad at center, except for the lack of goals. He's surprisingly good at faceoffs, when he's not the second man in.

If he is ready and truly healthy enough to contribute, the injury may have been a blessing in disguise. He was looking very leg weary in the games leading up to the injury, as was the entire team I know, but Flip particularly so. Hopefully he can come back feeling refreshed and if we're really lucky and he's really refreshed, maybe come back as hot as he started the season.................

I can dream, can't I?

He is a decent faceoff man.

Keep him wrapped in bubble wrap until the playoffs.
