Recalled/Assigned: Spencer Abbott recalled

[Lebanese Leaf]

I don't get why it's Abbott though. I would rather have Leivo, D'amigo, Biggs, Broll or Ross get the shot before Abbott.

 

[Suntouchable13]

God when it rains it pours. Kulemin, Fraser, McClaren, all injured and throw in Clarkson and his suspension. Just keep the callups coming I guess...

At least it's not our top end guys. Maybe except Clarkson.

 

[Communal Blood]

Kulemin out at least two weeks with chip in his ankle.

 

[ULF_55]

He has a small bone fracture in his foot, will be out for 2 weeks via Randy Carlye

Better than a sprained knee.

Hopefully they add Devane to the line-up to replace the beef.

 

[definedMF]

What the hell is this, at this rate its gonna be Marlies versus Avalanche

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

I don't think we can afford those guys


I like Kulemin, he strong like bull

 

[Suntouchable13]

Because according to the coaching staff for the Marlies, he has been the best player there. Plus they need somebody to play higher in the lineup. Not sure if any of those guys, except for Leivo, can play high in the lineup.

wowzaa. Get better soon Kuli. We need ya!

 

[Inconceivable]

I'd rather play an injured Ashton than Abbot. The guy is like 25 and 5'9

Who cares? We need some skilled guys. Have you seen our RW depth right now?

I CARE! I like watching the leafs beat the **** out of Ottawa!

 

[The Magic Man]

I'm excited to see another Hamilton kid with the leafs. Been a while. He's also a friend of my brother.

Other than Broll all those guys make too much. The Leafs can call up Abbot without having to LTIR Kule or send down someone else.

 

[veedubn1]

Glad it's not Broll. He's nowhere close to ready.

no worries, although no one on the Marlies can replace Kulemin, his absence won't be the difference between winning and losing.

When did Ashton get hurt? Or are we talking about his nose?

Abbot is an interesting "prospect" because he has Top 6 potential. Could be similar to Bozak where his production is better at the NHL level.

 

[Ari91]

Would have preferred Leivo but still excited to see what kind of game he brings tonight.

In his fight with Tinordi he got his nose busted. He was sporting a full face cage. Unless a newer injury as surfaced, I'm guessing that's what people are referring to. I think he's fine to play but the face cage may make it harder to play his best. I didn't think Ashton had a bad second game though even though he was wearing the cage.

Ashton looked Ok in the pre season, not so much since regular schedule's started. Better options on the Marlies IMO.

Atta boy Abbott, reppin' the Hammer

Dont have the cap space to call up Leivo with out putting Kule on LTIR or demoting someone else.

 

[Parkdale]

As per David Alter:
"Devane $575k (his base salary) plus Abbott at $650k = $1.225m. Fraser's hit $1.275m."


Nothing complicated here, they just took advantage of the extra cap space and called up an additional forward.

Thanks for the clarification here...

 

[zeke]

Would have rather seen leivo get the call as the scoring line fill in, but i'm happy to see abbott get a shot too. Kid has some legit nhl skill, even though his lack of size and speed is gonna make it hard for him to stick i the nhl.

Regardless, i just love that our callups this year are mostly going to be kids with with legit upside instead of recycled career ahler after recycled career ahler.
