2016 Summer Housekeeping Thread

I wonder if a guy like Lupul might have a bit of a resurgence next year if he can stay healthier than normal, it might make him tradeable.

With a few extra skill players in the team, Lupul can certainly finish, just a hunch on my part.

That's a pretty big ask.... ;) I've always liked him
when he's been healthy but regardless he's somehow
headed to Robidas Island. I think his fate is sealed
no matter what he does.

If Lupul weren't so often injured, I'd bet he'd already no longer be a Leaf.  Somehow, I don't think management will make him go away like they've done with Robidas.

Age, and severe broken legs did in Robidas.  Unless they can find a chronic medical condition with Lupul, we're stuck with him, IMHO.  I guess we'll see what Lou can do with him in three months.

That feels a lot like Groundhog's Day
 
The issue with Lupul the last few seasons hasn't been missing games really, it's been that he hasn't produced when in the line-up. He's pretty unlikely to play 70 games but if he were even able to play 70% of games next year(which, jokes aside, he's done in 4 of the last 6 seasons) and was productive I think you could probably trade him.
 
Based on what Babcock said yesterday seems like camp will be set up something like this:

Komarov-Kadri-Marner
JVR-Bozak-Brown
Michalek-Matthews-Nylander
Martin-Laich-Greening
Holland and a bunch of prospects jockeying with Clune

Rielly-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Polak
Hunwick-Carrick
Marincin, Corrado and a bunch of prospects jockeying

Andersen
vet backup and Bibeau/Sparks jockeying

Peter Holland's salary arbitration hearing coming July 25. Frank Corrado, July 26. Martin Marincin, August 2. Most cases settle beforehand.

I wondered why Petrielli stopped doing the weekly notebooks, but I can see that being a very tiring and futile exercise for last year's team.

Increased podcast and guest speaker duties?

Was that something MLHS mentioned?

In any case, I always appreciated his writing and I'm glad he's still at it.

That's just me speculating after listening to that "Battle of Ontario" podcast I posted on the previous page from MLHS (Petrielli)

Darryl was what previous to being Director, Manager?  Was pretty sure he always led the department.

The day Extra Skater went down...

When he was hired, the bunch of them were all Analysts under Dubas' purview.

They've gone rogue!  :o  ;D  ;)
 
Good news is you're being promoted. Bad news is there's no money. Good news is you get to choose your own title.
