Who goes back to AHL or place on waviers when Torres, Sullivan, Hanzal and Smith get back???? Any ideas...does Bolduc stay and the 2 Johnsons and other players on waivers?
They only need to clear 2 spots. Smith and Klesla are the only guys on IR that don't count towards the roster at the moment. Bolduc and Rundbald down, I'd imagine. That's if they want to carry 3 goalies. Johnson should get the backup spot over barbs.
In a perfect world, Biz and Barbs are sent down. Or flip Biz for a seventh. Either way, we have several better options in the bottom six. He doesn't bring anything to the table that Bolduc or NJohnson can't provide.
I like Chipchura and Johnson much more than Bolduc and Bissonnette.
Stone is more effective than Rundblad at this point.
We shall see how Chad Johnson fairs in the next game. I really, really, really hope Tippett gives him another start. He's got a 1.00GAA and a 0.50gaa in regulation. Stick with that. LaBarbera is not good at being a goalie. Not at all. Johnson? He at least night be. He hasn't proven he's not. LaBarbera has proven he sucks.
N. Johnson needs to stay. He's been a very pleasant surprise, and I think he brings more to the team than Bolduc or Biz, even if he's not producing points.
Johnson is on a two way deal. LaBarbera is on a one way deal. Not surprising at all. I look forward to seeing Miele, he should fit better than Bolduc on the second line for now.

Agreed. Interesting, though, that they sent Rundblad to the CHL, rather than back to Portland. I guess they want to keep him close? The airfare has to be getting ridiculous.
