I tried to post a sad smiley but it didn’t take it. Sorry

so did everyone else—myself included. But who do you send down to make room for him? And where does he fit? I don’t want him on the 4th line. I want him to play 20+ minutes in Hartford.

where would he play. on the fouth line?

if we play him who do we send down? drury?

the fact is our roster is full with very talented players. when your third line is avery anisimov callahan yer in good shape. we dont have any room for grachev right now.

we can keep him on the fourth line sure, but thats a waste. i rather him play 20 mins a night in hartford than 5 mins a night in the nhl. it will be much better in the long run.

weve seen his skill, but at that same time weve seen he needs a little more development.. hell only get strongest faster and smarter. plus its not like hes 25. hes 19, give him time.

ansimov is on the team. mdz is on the team. gilroy is on the team.

thats three rookies. i bet most teams dont have 3 rookies.

I’ve got to school you, too?? ;-) :-D

A one-way contract pays the same salary regardless of where the individual plays.
A two-way contract pays one salary for NHL games, and a (typically much lower) salary for AHL games.
There are also 3-way contracts – 3 different salaries for NHL/AHL and ECHL (or equivalent).

One – two – or three-way contracts have no bearing whatsoever on waiver eligibility or exemption.

Players are generally exempt from waivers for a certain number of years following the signing of their first professional contract. So, for example. Del Zotto, who was (I believe) 18 when he signed his contract with the Rangers, is exempt from waivers for:
a) 5 years
or
b) 160 NHL games
The 5 year exemption is reduced to three (3) years if he plays in eleven (11) or more NHL games.

Yes – every media outlet on the face of the earth keeps talking about nine (9) games is the max for MDZ – it is actually ten (10). If he plays in his eleventh game, the Rangers lose 2 full years of waiver exemption on him. Given the fact that he’s very likely to play in 2 full seasons worth of games (164 games) over the next 3 years, I believe this is a moot point. (reference NHL/NHLPA CBA – Article 13 – Page 66)

torts might go with 22.

1 extra forward and 1 extra dmen.

and it fits under the cap.

im pretty sure hes going to go with 7 dmen. when you have 2 rookies, along with r and r, your best bet is to go with 7.

and with forwards ill doubt he will go with just 12. im sure he will have 13.

even when avery comes back its better to have an extra guy. that way you dont have to call someone up everytime someone has a cold or a sprained ankle.

my best guess is the roster is set. lisin fill fill in averys spot until he is back, and than becomes the extra man. also, if boyle or voros, or even brashear dont do what their supposed to lisin will take their spot. remember voros can also play center so if boyle sucks theyll shift voros to center and put lisin on the wing.
