Looking at the AHL and the teams who are going to lose players to the NHL
1 TOR: 7 players
2 Grand Rapids: 2 players
3 Charlotte:4 players
4 Texas: 5 players
5 Houston: 3 players
6 Abbotsford: 4 players
7 OKC: 5 players (AKA, the 1st line of Edmonton's)
8 Lake Erie: 3 players
9 Milwaukee: 4 players (But you could see Mueller go back after Bourque get's healthy)

Looking at this, expecting OKC and TOR to drop.
Who is the 4th? Blum, Ellis and Mueller are the three that are going to Nashville.
Are you counting Bourque when healthy or another guy?
The Admirals don't play again until Saturday. Jarvinen took a puck to the nose in the first period tonight. I heard that he went to the hospital. I bet that Victor is coming back to Milwaukee for their games in Abbotsford.
Since it was Roscoe's (mascot) birthday, he had other mascots as guests. Gnash made an appearance. I have never seen him in person before.
Bourque played? Nice. I guess we'll see him for Monday

Trotz said after practice this morning in Nashville that there was no timetable for Bourque's return yet. Assuming he was awaiting a report on his performance from this weekend, but knowing the travel to and from Abbotsford there was no chance he'd be recalled for Monday's game, but could theoretically join the team in Minnesota on Tuesday or elsewhere along the course of their upcoming two week road trip...
Not terribly surprising since we took the entire top 4 on defense... is bartley still up with us?
And whenever we can we will be taking Bourque.
Sucks to be a fan of a farm team sometimes, I would think
Bitetto and Aronson from Cincinnati have played games for Milwaukee earlier this season or last season. COR was supposed to be the Cyclones best D-man. With Bartley back from Nashville and Moore back from injury, the Ads D should be okay.
The losing streak started before camp. Milwaukee is a little short on offense. We don't really have one guy or one line to fill up the net. Sound familiar?
Since Bourque was called up, the Admirals signed Brad Winchester, former UW Badger and Dallas Stars player, to a PTO. His 390 NHL games and 6'5" frame should help the team in a few areas.
