Not a chance with the 2018 investigation still ongoing.

There's an investigation? What investigation? 

 

Or so the league would have us believe..

You'd figure he's fine given that 3 teams have acquired him in the last two years.

I don't trust the NHL but I do trust the London police.

Wow, how someone like Bernard-Docker has fallen, that even a team like San Jose's blueline didn't pick him up yesterday.

For today I'd pick up Hagg, could always use some more size and sandpaper (he fought Tom Wilson before, and as recently as last season he was playing 15-16 minutes a night with Detroit; he could be some deterrence and a defensive option to offset mobile guys like Wolanin).

[Mike Vanderhoek]

little surprised Gawanke didn't make the Sharks roster. Could be something in that player, then again if he didn't make the Sharks hmm.

Minnesota to the rest of the league:

I don't know much about the investigation or Cal Foote's game - but doesn't a big, former first-rounder that can play 14 minutes a night on the right side of a legitimate team (Tampa) seem better than what we currently have?

Like doesn't that sound like a better experiment with Hughes than Juulsen or McWard?

And assuming that doesn't work, then wouldn't he work better at the bottom of the lineup than either of those? Seeing as he's already been able to do that in Tampa and Nashville?

On the ice, absolutely.  I'm personally not comfortable taking anyone from that team though given the seriousness of the accusations.  Some things are more important than hockey.

If Khaira didn't have the injury history he has I would say claim him immediately. Love the player but injury history is troubling.

I'd still take a flyer on him.  He's an upgrade over Joshua.

So you wouldn't trade for Cale Makar?

Right now, no.  It's not really relevant as Colorado isn't going to trade him anyway.

 

I am in no way accusing Makar of wrongdoing, for the record.

Gawanke is a right-shot guy who has been very effective in the AHL, and even at the World Championships for Germany. That said, it’s concerning that he couldn’t make the Sharks, who are in desperate need of a RD who can move the puck.

 

I think Canucks will claim Cal Foote. He’s a step up on McWard/Juulsen, and his Dad is on the coaching staff. Seems like a logical fit.

He could have signed with us though.

 

If they didn’t want him before I doubt they want him now.

 

Pass on all these players. Yesterdays group was better. I’d wait till the last crop of players get waived. These will be the players teams don’t wanna dump but were unable to trade.

It has been previously stated that the canucks are not interested in Foote. With his dad as one of our coaches it would make things very awkward.

A lot has happened since then. I think they were hoping Soucy or Juulsen would work with Hughes. This doesn’t seem to be the case, and Juulsen doesn’t look NHL calibre. Irwin was terrible in camp, and Hirose’s not ready, so Soucy is needed to stabilize Myers. And even though they are talking up McWard, he doesn’t look NHL-ready either.

 

Foote has at least played regular NHL minutes. He’s better than what it turns out we have to play with Hughes. But even if it’s not him, I suspect they’ll add someone soon.

High likelihood this does not happen for this very reason. I doubt their opinion of the situation has changed since late June.
