Seems they can afford to add a few contracts.

I still don't understand how the Hagg slide rule works. I assume he no longer slides if he gets called up, right? Does it slide back if he gets sent back down after a call up?

Under-20 = slides up to 9 NHL-games.

Gotcha, thanks. Either way, looks like they have some extra contract spots if they need it

Is that including Hagg? Crazy that he can slide even though he's playing in the AHL.

Turns out so is Derek Morris, which I did not realize. I assumed he wasn't signed because he's so old, but he's only 36. I guess he has had some injury issues though in recent seasons

First order of business is to find a medical staff that can read an x-ray. I've never seen a sports franchise with incompetent medical personnel.

I think they have a decent relationship. At the same time, both guys know it's a business. I doubt they see entirely eye-to-eye (but no coach and GM ever do, except when it's been one person holding both titles ) but I think they respect each other enough to get on the same page.

They were both clearly in total agreement about the conditioning program implemented over the summer. I don't think Berube shed any tears when Hartnell was traded by Hextall, either (nor do I think Hartnell misses Berube). OTOH, I have a hunch that Berube wanted to enter the season with Morin on a nine-game trial and Hextall was adamant about sticking to the development plan he set as soon as he became GM.

Both guys also know it's a business. As such, if a situation arose down the line where Hextall thought the team needed a change behind the bench, he'd make it.

Would it be fair to say that Berube's a bit more conventional, and Hextall's a bit more progressive in their respective ways of thinking?

Berube is more of a punch-you-in-the-face type of guy, Hextall's more a slash-you-in-the-back-of-the-knee type of guy.

If we did get Derek Morris, would he just tell the media about how much everyone hates Steve Mason?

yes.

With Grossmann having to play a lot more minutes over the next four weeks, what are the odds that he will stay healthy during that time? Streit, L. Schenn, and Schultz could all be leading a pair by Halloween.

No doubt. I don't know how much more seasoning Manning can get at the AHL level. I'd like to see him for more than just a couple of games with the big club

Grossmann is a Clydesdale, remember? Virtually indestructible.
