Waiving Nyquist would be a good start. 

im kinda shocked it didnt happen today

I’d bring Gus up and sit Namestnikov.  He has been brutal.  When was the last time he got a damn point?  Isn’t he still at 8?  And playing on the 2nd line for most of the season??  How is that acceptable?

I know Gus isn’t an offensive force, but he’s leading the Moose in points ( not overly impressive, I know), he’s defensively sound and has usually been solid in face offs.

I’d also be fine with Yager or Chibrikov being called up…. Zhilkin just seems like a lateral move at best.

Chevy: “When I woke up this morning, for me, the choice is put your head down and find a way to keep pushing this team to get better".

Being a bit ornery with our team's current predicament and based on what KC has done to date to course correct this predicament that he calls it, other than his pep talks and calls for accountability, what else has he come up with by putting his head down?

He is correct about that based upon how he’s mismanaged player evaluation/value for quite some time now, he should put his head down 😠.

Shouldn't that be 'hang my head in shame' after the club has gone from first to worst....Not an easy feat....Might as well keep tanking and at least salvage something out of this dumpster fire of a season

BREAKING: Scheif made the reserve list

Scheif deserves to play but it’s going to be Bennett, Jarvis, or Bédard before him 😢

The NHL has enough talent to make two Canadian Olympic teams. It would be neat to have them play agianst each other.

West vs East would be fun

 

I’m glad Salomonsson is getting another opportunity, but it’s obviously not great that it’s because our D depth is thin.

I think he’s on the roster next year full time. Either playing with Josh or 3rd pair as both miller and Schenn are free agents. The Phillips recall is interesting as the couple moose games I’ve been 2 this season he hasn’t stood out at all.

Gus requires waivers. Might not clear. Zhilkin has raised his game tho. Don’t hate the 4th line.

Could be part of that 'recruiting plan' for a first round draft pick.

Possibly. Could also be he’s not as awful as he looks on the moose. Perhaps moose coaching ain’t up to snuff. Guys look 10x better when they called up. Not sure if that’s motivation to stay up or poor coaching on the moose

Yeah, I figured Gus would need to clear waivers, which means he’s kinda stuck.  Zhilkin has looked decent.  Hasn’t been good in the face offs from what I’ve noticed.

Guys are definitely going to have an extra spring in their step when they get called up.  It’s just human nature.

I’m a Gus fan. I think he has stood out at the moose games I’ve been 2. Him Yager and Fagemo (he’s slow tho and awful defensively but laine like release) have all looked good at forward. I’d call up Gus cuz he’s better than Nyquist Pearson and prob a few others. Solid defensively and great at face offs. Great at the pk also.

We're 31 points back from league leading Avs.

Not to use this angle view.

Let's go!!  Time for the comeback.

is it October yet? is Helle going to be in net or are they bringing in Pav and....would be nice to see Mason too (I'm being sarcastic about the Helle part)

 

Edited January 21Jan 21 by iHeart

Why would Helle play in an alumni game. Prob Chris mason and or hutch cuz 1 lives here and 1 not far from here. Pav is in Europe. 
 

7 announced tho 

Buff. Thorbs. Perreault. Ladd. Little. Wheeler. Stastny. 
 

id hope for Toby and slater. I’d maybe ask teemu and maybe tkachuk if he’s not morbidly obese. Mark stuart also but he’s an asst coach in the league

Regardless. It makes no sense. But no I didn’t. I dunno @iHeartill give you props for being a good fan but sometimes you are a little off. It’s all good tho. I appreciate the fandom. 

Maybe they ask Nyquist to play and he finally scores a goal. 
 

ask Ilya kovakchuk tho. That would be cool.

Kovalchuk has been dxpunged. All the Atlanta guys have which makes sense if the Jets want their records back. I'd love to see Teemu here if he can still play. Nikolai Khabibulin, Teppo Numinen & Tie Domi would be great if they can still physically play.
