Tinordi and Gaudreau waived.
I suspect they clear. Freddie G never could follow up his surprise playoff heroics with consistent regular season play.

So long for awhile, Freddy G. You always gave everything you had. Find your game and work your way back.I suspect they clear. Freddie G never could follow up his surprise playoff heroics with consistent regular season play.
Well Laviolette said”we’re banged up a bit....nothing too major” as one indication of why they did the big callup. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of who is “banged up a bit”. It was said that Forsberg was being held out of the 1st Carolina game after taking a maintenance day last Sunday. Also haven’t noticed Webber lately. Anyone have any ideas?
Jeez- hearing that "we're banged up a bit" before the freaking season even starts is all kinds of depressing to hear.....
I'm sure everyone has seen it by now, but for anyone that hasn't...Please tell me someone has a GIF of Johansen leaving the ice lol
I would frankly just waive both of Salomaki and Carr. Sign Boyle.Now Preds have 14F, 8D and 2G.
Got to lose 1F or 1D. Or start with somebody on IR
Bonino got 17 goals last year. Sissons got 15. Smith got 21. I think however the lines finally shake out, we are going to have some pretty good scoring on our 3rd (and even 4th) line. Relative to the rest of the league. It might not be a case of having a "flashier" style of offensive guy or a young guy with potential on those lines, but they may nevertheless produce as well as or better than these other third scoring lines around the league.I wish the Preds would just go to three scoring lines like the rest of the league has been trending towards. Especially with our newly improved prospect pool coming along.
Even if we let everyone questionable walk (Turris, Granlund, Smith), there's still only two top-6 sposlys open with Johansen, Duchene, Forsberg, Arvidsson. So if no one else develops other than Tolvanen, Tomasino and Afanasyev, you're asking a skilled player to skate in a more defensive role.
I'd work a deal with him to sign him in December or something like that. Let injuries and ability to actually play at the NHL level work themselves out and save him some wear and tear.I would frankly just waive both of Salomaki and Carr. Sign Boyle.
After the Mike Fisher debacle, I’m not inclined to have someone sit out a half season and then let them work their way back up to speed. It’s a fast young man’s game now.I'd work a deal with him to sign him in December or something like that.

I'm honestly hoping we have a trade partner for Turris and sign Boyle. I'm not sure that isn't better for the team, even if we take a loss on Turris. He hasn't looked any better this preseason than last year... which is concerning.
Minnesota or Montreal seem like the obvious trade partners, but I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
Forgot to add, Santini has not been good either.
I don't think many were expecting him to be though.
I did have several people this offseason argue with me that Poile specifically requested Santini in the trade because he thought he was good.
Interesting. I think the real pick up in that deal was Davies.
Santini and Salomaki on waivers. So now we're at 22.
So there's a roster spot and cap room for Brian Boyle?
