The return for a player like Girgs though, even if he went on a 10 game pt streak, would be minimal at this point. What's the point of showcasing a guy who would get a 3rd round pick returned at best?

If we were seriously showcasing everyone then Johnson would be getting more time, Pouliot would be top line and Antipin wouldn't be getting benched for Gorges. I get where you're going and perhaps with Reinhart that's the case, just seems to have too many discrepancies between other players like Pouliot who are almost assuredly going to be moved come TDL..

Why wouldn't we showcase any of these players to up their value?

Gorges is getting showcased. That's why they are sitting antipin. Antipin has a potential future here. Gorges is gone.

I imagine they know which scouts are looking at which players as well. Maybe phili has interest in girgs?

Silent sam playing on the top line has more to do with his ego, and the sit down he and phil had.

Please coach give me another chance with my roomie. Did I mention that my dad and brother played in the nhl. I'm really good, I was picked 2nd.

Call up Griffith and Criscuolo, they have been tearing it up down there. Ahl production proves NHL production

No.

Lack of AHL production proves little NHL production.

Wasn't making the point about whether or not we should, but whether or not we were. If we were showcasing players guys like Pouliot wouldn't leave the top6. And Gorges is going nowhere...or maybe isn't going anywhere...not sure, we'll go with "he's retiring a Sabre". No team should want him.

What would be an acceptable offer for Pouliot?

conditional 3rd? becomes a 2nd if they go x amount of rounds or pouliot plays a certain number of games?

No team should, but we are talking about a league in which a team gave up a draft pick for Mike Weber.

What's this coming from? I know Kane is as good as gone, but is there sudden interest in Pouliot?

I think he is just a Rochester signing. We have no rights to him.

You don't think another team would want him? He has 8 goals and basically any team can fit him into their cap

Yes, but I'm asking about if there is something immanent where he'll be moved once the trade freeze lifts.

I think someone will take him, but probably more around the trade deadline.

But even Weber was playing games regularly. Gorges will play what 25-30 games this year at max? Antipin could lessen that with solid play.

Maybe some team offers us a 7th or a Muzito-Bagenda (sp?) for him at the TDL as insurance, but IMO those type of returns aren't worth downgrading your actual lineup.

Correct. There's nothing to say we couldn't sign him, we have the contract space, but we can't "call him up".

I was just screwing around. I didn't even know he existed until like a month ago, but his name makes him sound like a star wars character so he must be good

If weber got us a 3rd, gorges is going to get us a 3rd. Some team will want a veteran like him down the stretch. He's perfect as a 6/7

I'm sure she will thank you for your very thoughtful contribution to the ease with which she completes the housekeeping chores. Women just love those gifts.

Maybe for her birthday you can buy her a new ironing board.
