Pedan is on waivers because he is still not an NHL player and with the team guaranteeing other young players roles, they would prefer Biega who they know can come in and play reliably.

Corrado like it or not showed more at the NHL level then Pedan, I'll be surprised if Pedan is picked up and if he does, it is a very small loss to the Canucks although it will hurt the Comets.

I was surprised to see Pedan played in 13 games last season, I thought it was less.

I'm still trying to get my head around the decision making, expecting Biega to be cut and not make the opening night roster. Larsen, Sbisa, Tryamkin, Stecher 5-8.

personally I wanted sergachev

Juolevi will be just fine.

Game day!

Setting up the tilt with the Flames and digging into Pedan's demotion to Utica in the new blog:

It is a strange situation. JB must really like Sbisa or see him as that veteran presence.

I'm all for exposing Sbisa but I'm guessing with the injuries last season and being stuck with an inexperienced d corps during the free fall, JB doesn't see a Pedan, Larsen, Tryamkin, Biega, Stecher as a good mix for 5-8. while most would rather see Sbisa gone, cap hit savings and see who is the best fit.

I think JB tried to trade Sbisa and couldn't find any takers. I doubt he is that high on him anymore.
