Confirmed with Link: Vatanen to CAR for Janne Kuokkanen, Frederik Claesson and conditional 4th rounder

[mtnet]

It's just things evening out and Vats spends a lot of time on IR anyway

When we needed Johansson to get hot, he did finally did so just before the deadline and we recovered a 2nd

Vats could have been a 1st if he was going strong the past few weeks, but he's been out for at least 3 weeks

We were overpaid on Coleman and Greene so we did alright for this TDL even if today was less promising

 

[NjDevsRR]

Did some of y'all Looney Tunes come to terms with Vatanens injury really limiting the return or are we still upset about that?

Don’t bother, they can’t be reasoned with. Just enjoy the show.

 

[glenwo2]

..... Yes but.... Those were 4th liners.. Lol

At least now we can really play our depth D and see what we have in pipeline, like Mermis..

Mermis has really impressed.

he got sent down

 

[NjDevsRR]

he got sent down

He’s already been recalled

Interesting..

Does McLeod have to go through waivers if we wanted to send him down later? I see that Anderson and mermis going through now means we intend to send them to bing later

There's no waivers after the TDL.

 

[My3Sons]

I’m surprise they sent down Merkley. He looked pretty good.

How many players are we retaining on? I thought it was only 2 but simmonds and vatanen are 50% and I thought hall was 50% too

You are correct with Hall.

ESPN ticker still has us receiving a 2nd round pick. How does anyone see them as a credible sports nerwork.

To be fair, even Bob McKenzie got the return wrong, and he's one of the best in the business. Still kind of dumb that they didn't update it though.

He didn't get it wrong. His tweet was misread by most, including ESPN it seems.

Ah. He was referring to Kuokkanen as "CAR 2nd rounder" in that Tweet. Apparently I'm as stupid as ESPN.

 

[glenwo2]

he got sent down

Doesn't matter.

He showed that he can play in the league.

That was my whole point.

We all got it wrong here.

Did you see his pic after taking that stick to the face?

 

[Forge]

He’s already been recalled

Interesting that we kept Merk down and brought up Mikey instead.

I will say, at some point in the future, Merk + Joey + the right middle man is going to make on hell of a nuisance line in the bottom 6.

Are we talking about Mermis here?

'Cause that's who I am referring to.

I know all about Merkley and what happened to him.

It seems like they want to rotate some of the AHL guys without gutting Bing too much and ruin their playoff push.

Makes sense. Us being successful starts with Bing being successful. I know it's unlikely this year because I think they are giving up a few games in hand (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), but I really want the BDevs to be a playoff team. I'd prefer this year, but just knowing that we are moving forward down there in a big way is huge.

Whoops.

ESPN has it wrong 6 hours after the fact. There's wrong and then there's embarrassing.

Just want to make sure :

I was referring to MERMIS.

Was he sent down, too?

I know Merkley was.

Yes, he was sent down, but then recalled. It was just a paper transaction.

Merkley was sent down and stayed down.

I was actually flipping through ESPN channels the other day and came across some kind of national cornhole invitational, so they really will cover anything resembling a sport...except hockey. Sadly the best coverage they have might be Wysh, and he seems to get dumber with age.
