Hamilton Bulldogs [24-30-6] & Wheeling Nailers 2012-2013 3.0

[montreal]

So who does Hamilton lose? I really hope they leave Leblanc in Hamilton along with all the rookies. But will they lose Dumont? That would really hurt since he seems to be one of the few players that produces consistently. With Pateryn coming back the loss of Commodore is off-set, hate to lose a vet on D but Pateryn needs to play (unless they send him to the ECHL to get some games in since he's missed most of the season so far). Hope they don't lose St-Denis as that would really hurt the D but if he goes up then someone would be sent back in his place unless a trade is made.

I think it will depend on compliance buy-outs whether or not we lose a D.. also depends if they keep Galchenyuk (they shouldn't)

Was looking at yesterday's Bulldog box score and noticed that Mayer got an assist That has to be some kind of notch on the belt for goalies.

[Analyzer]

Hamilton probably doesn't lose anyone.

[Et le But]

Call up the Avtsin

[QuebecPride]

Think Dumont will get a shot, same for Blunden. I don't know if Leblanc should be in the NHL, but I know Therrien will love his game, so we'll see. I'd rather not see him there, as his game is not back to where it was though.

[Et le But]

Dumont deserves a shot. Blunden brings me back flashbacks of last year, leave him in the AHL where he's good.

[Protest the Hero]

We have a bunch of bottom 6 players, I'm not sure Dumont gets a chance until injuries happen.

[JHabs61]

This blows. I have tickets to OKC vs HAM and HOU vs HAM, row 3 and 4 at center ice right behind the benches. Now, Eberle/Schultz/Hall/RNH and Granlund/Whoever else won't be there. Give to get I guess.

Not that Nokelainen was a sure bet either, but if he's hurt, that has to help Dumont's chances of getting an invite?

My guess is he left Gomez and Kaberle out because of amnesty buyouts, but forgot it was next season

I don't think there's a specific date for the buyouts other than before the 2013-2014 season. So now works

Edit: actually Tuesday should work.

[habsprospects]

I'm pretty sure they have to waive St-Denis, Desjardins and Palushaj to keep them in the AHL since they were allowed to circumvent the waivers for the lockout.

[ChoseLa]

I doubt any of them gets claimed.

Palushaj is injured, I would give him a shot with the Habs or trade him before waivers.

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Stejskal was also called up this morning.

I suspect Dumont and FSD are coming to camp.

Maybe Tinordi as well?

[zzoo]

Players ready for NHL (in order) in their respective role, although they don't deserve to be:
1. St-Denis
2. Dumont (4th line)
3. Blunden (4th line)
4. Leblanc (3rd line)
5. Gallagher (2nd line)
6. Palushaj (2nd or 3rd line)

Beaulieu, Tinordi, Bournival and Holland aren't ready, not even in the next year.

I could see them bringing Tinordi in camp just for the experience. Don't see Gallagher getting the call. Lebalnc is banged up and Palushaj is out, but I think they have to include him and put him on IR or put him on waivers.

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Per Wills on twitter:

- Palushaj skated before the team, should be back within 2 weeks.

- Pateryn skated at practice with Corbin.

- Fortier is day-to-day with a LBI. Leveille took his place on the 4th.

[ChuckyToGally]

St-Denis, Gallagher and Dumont for me.

Leblanc needs a reality check.

Leblanc is playing like he is carrying an injury. Not a guy that's not trying.

One way or another (poor play or injury), he shouldn't be there...

God I hope not.. 2-way means defense AND offense. Galchenyuk/Bourque-Eller-Armstrong would make a much better 3rd line. Can't wait to see the real healthy Armstrong playing on our side this time, he was dynamite under Therrien in Pittsburgh, a lot better than Kennedy.
