Tough schedule coming up...

We can’t give away points to any weak teams from here on out. Luckily New York, Montreal and Buffalo are sliding backwards. I like us and Pittsburgh to get the 7 and 8 seeds.

Still not a crook!

Who is going to go back down or get released once these guys come back to the club? If I’m not mistaken Sutter can’t spend more than two weeks in Albany or he’ll have to go through waivers. Walker is also almost ready to come back. Who then do we send down to make room for those guys? Ryan has been playing so well that he was moved up to the first line and Brindy is centering our 4th line. Where is the room??

Sutter never has to go thru waivers until his entry-level deal is up (or he plays 180 games). That pretty much means two more full seasons. They just can’t keep in Albany beyond the cond. stint b/c he’s still junior eligible. They need to bring him back or send him to Red Deer (won’t happen, IMO). He may still be a scratch, or fill in if someone’s hurt.

As for Walker, I imagine Ryan or Conboy will be the victim. Conboy played 59 seconds last night and was on the ice for Buffalo’s goal.

i read something i believe in phil janacks blog that there was some loophole that lou lamoriello used that the conditional stint could last indefinetly if sutter also agreed to it which he may do if he knows he won’t be playing up here

Anyone hear that the Canucks picked up Ossi Vaananen? He’s EXACTLY what we needed. 6’4 215lbs and 85 hits so far this season. Damn. Plus then we’d really be team finland…

hes the guy we should have signed instead of melichar all along since they both got 1 year, 1 mil., but with wallin and kaberle here, there was no room
