Really????

Ouch. I would say that's a pretty slow start. Very slow start, in fact.

He's behind Tyler Biggs, who I've been vocally critical of.

Ah the second ID comes alive to back up the first one

Connauton has been playing pretty good in this years start. He has been more defensive and saved a goal last night. Sauve had a good game too. Tanev was +2 but not sure he was too great,infact he was in the box serving as the Heat scored their second. Good signs for they young D and Woves 3-0 and Lack has been a stud.

Offenseive stars have been Kassian and Longpre. Kassian being compared to Bert by the Stanchion and Pass it to Bullis.

Thanks man. I was too upset to respond myself.

He is a question that maybe someone has the answer to.

If there is no NHL what is stopping any GM (say like Gillis ) from putting his NHL roster on the AHL Wolves and playing half the games in Chicago and half in Vancouver.

I know it won't happen but if you had some disgruntled owner could he do that? Is there restrictions of what players can play in the AHL?

waivers.

To play in the AHL, vets would have to go through waivers. Feel free to waive half your roster and send them to the AHL if you like. You may not get them back.

There is no CBA how do we know what the waiver rules are?

From my understanding, that's the problem. If you look at the players sent down, it has nothing to do with whether they've actually played in the NHL. Some young guys that have played, are there. But none that have played too many games.

I can't give you specifics, but that's my understanding. Maybe they're assuming they'd have to call them back up, once a CBA is in place, and they'd have to go through recall waivers (which, interestingly, one of the proposals eliminated recall waivers), and then they'd lose them.

But it's my understanding that it's waivers is the obstacle. IIRC, there are even a few players that are past waiver eligibility, but eligible for the AHL, as they were on the IR at the end of the season, making them eligible for a reconditioning stint, or something like that. I may be way off base, but I recall hearing that Sam Gagner is eligible for that reason?

Did you tell Edler to sign asap when the lockout is over?

He's signing, don't worry. His back looks fine too.
