The return of players

[albertabound]

Who goes back to AHL or place on waviers when Torres, Sullivan, Hanzal and Smith get back???? Any ideas...does Bolduc stay and the 2 Johnsons and other players on waivers?

They only need to clear 2 spots. Smith and Klesla are the only guys on IR that don't count towards the roster at the moment. Bolduc and Rundbald down, I'd imagine. That's if they want to carry 3 goalies. Johnson should get the backup spot over barbs.

In a perfect world, Biz and Barbs are sent down. Or flip Biz for a seventh. Either way, we have several better options in the bottom six. He doesn't bring anything to the table that Bolduc or NJohnson can't provide.

I like Chipchura and Johnson much more than Bolduc and Bissonnette.

Stone is more effective than Rundblad at this point.

We shall see how Chad Johnson fairs in the next game. I really, really, really hope Tippett gives him another start. He's got a 1.00GAA and a 0.50gaa in regulation. Stick with that. LaBarbera is not good at being a goalie. Not at all. Johnson? He at least night be. He hasn't proven he's not. LaBarbera has proven he sucks.

Biz, please, send him away for good.

N. Johnson needs to stay. He's been a very pleasant surprise, and I think he brings more to the team than Bolduc or Biz, even if he's not producing points.

I'll second that. Should this be the last season here in the valley, I would sure like to see it end with a roster of actualy NHL caliber TALENT!

Smith is back. Now to hope they send LOL down instead.

EDIT: I thought they meant Nick.

Johnson is on a two way deal. LaBarbera is on a one way deal. Not surprising at all. I look forward to seeing Miele, he should fit better than Bolduc on the second line for now.

Agreed. Interesting, though, that they sent Rundblad to the CHL, rather than back to Portland. I guess they want to keep him close? The airfare has to be getting ridiculous.

Andy Miele

Andy Miele recalled. Chad Johnson sent down.

Also, Phoenix has sent David Rundblad to the Central League's Arizona Sundogs.

Is this so he is closer by?


I like the Miele call up. I wish they would have sent LOL to the CHL with Runblad

Most likely

Good try out for Chad Johnson. I think he's got a future as at the very least a very solid backup.
