That's interesting about Ryan. I didn't know his cap hit was that high.

And his deal has another 5 years remaining...so would you take him on if he came with Chabot?

 

[Frank E]

MacArthur also has a 4 years to go on a deal at $4.65m...wow.

Did Freddie pull something last night?

 

[McGarnagle]

Apparently McEhinney injured already.

The Leafs have recalled Garret Sparks. I'm hearing McElhinney dealing with minor injury that may keep him out tonight.

 

[McGarnagle]

Apparently McElhinney was looking at the # of shots against stats, and pulled a hamstring in advance.

 

[Highlander]

Bugga.  Perhaps Sparks can capatalize on the opportunity.

Darn I was hoping to see what we had in McBackup. Wonder why it's Sparks instead of Bibeau?

 

[princedpw]

I'm just not following the NHL like I used to but that set of forwards on the Ottawa roster .... who are they?

Supposedly the reason the trade was made was to keep Bibeau in the minors, out of the prying eyes of Las Vegas expansion. Its thought that Las Vegas will draft a plethora of Goalies and they don't want Bibeau to go

Man, remember when it was Curtis Lazar who was going to light the league's hair on fire?

0 points in 20 games. I mean, that'd be hard to do if you were trying for it.

I was going to take a crack at Lazar in the notes but just felt bad doing it. His own coach called him a 4th liner the other day.

His CF% is 38.9. Now, I'm a little new to these fancy stats but that's not good, I'm fairly sure.

Just can't get over the youth of the forward corps. They're all twenty-something's except for Marnthews at 19 and Bozak at 30. To have a competitive skill base this early and this young means we're going to be putting the puck in the net for a long, long time.

They're only permitted to select three goalies in the draft.

Not a plethora then?

That was it McGarnagle. Seeing the 35+ shots allowed per game.
