We have the salary cap room and he might be a decent pickup. Snow hasn't picked up anybody on waivers, so he's due....

Do a search on You Tube...in regard to Ellerby...he likes to hit and has had his shares of fights...I like him...lets bring him in...

Waive Carkner bring him in and swap Donovan and De Haan

If Garth takes him perhaps he could also waive Carkner.

I like your thinking.

We have to remember that this would take common sense to sign him. that is something Garth and Snow do not have.

he's just a waiver pick up so no need to sign him, I believe we have to wait for the teams before us to pass on him before snow has the option and it could be announced. I'd be surprised if we didn't take a flyer on him as it won't cost us anything and he could be waived as soon as strait or lv is activated off injured reserve. I'd like to see it happen, we need an option that isn't playing carkner 8-12 minutes a night.

Wait isn't Garth and Snow the same person?

Edmonton will take him

Cappy's short, heated post-game press conference after the Rangers loss spoke about changes. Tonight, exact same roster as Tuesday's game against the Rangers. Way to shake it up there, Cappy.

- mighty13duck

good possibility, but if not, he's a perfect snow target. Former 1st round draft pick, 24 y/o defense first defenseman.

would actually be a good move to take him if we get the opportunity. We need healthy bodies and ones who are larger than 5'9 and can move a bit.

I like your thinking.

It makes too much sense. I am sure half on here are going to criticize me saying Donovan needs more minutes with a better partner.

What can the guy do? He has 6 defenseman they all have to play. Its up to Garth to make the changes.

Maybe Charles and Wang can convince the both of them

Agreed anyone is an upgrade over Dono and Carkner right now.

by 'changes' he meant more blame and reduced icetime for Grabs...

I am looking at the comments like what are you guys talking about

Whoops!!

You guys knew what I meant

Hello we are talking about Capuano!! He has no idea what to do with this team. I would switch the pairings up at least on defense. Let Hickey play a little more and Amac a little less. Martinek a couple of more minutes and Hamonic some rest. Those two are dying out there playing the whole game

It makes too much sense. I am sure half on here are going to criticize me saying Donovan needs more minutes with a better partner.

Hey I wont I agree with you. If you going to play the kid let him play. Lets see what he got

I have seen a lot already unfortunately. Same goes for Poulin. I am fine with letting kids play but I hate losing points for it.

Poulin has yet to lose us any points. I'm not sure how that comparison can be made since he's played a grand total of two games and neither of those losses were on him.

I thought he looked decent in both games, the defense in the philly game was laughable if it didn't piss me off so much

What you don't see in those clips is the fact that he misses those big hits about 80% of the time leading to him always being out of position. Shoot he'd fit right in
