MB3 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 There has to be a trade or a roster move coming. You don't carry three goalies. You cannot send down Blackwood after how he's bounced back. You can't touch Vanecek after how great he's looked. But you also can't really go 11F 6D 3G, right? That's not sustainable at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they could roster 13f, 7d, 3g and just rotate the goalies in and out of the lineup. But that doesn’t seem like a good long term plan. I think we still have a few weeks. Bernier should absolutely go to Utica on a conditioning assignment. Perhaps they try him through waivers just to see if there’s any one interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 They aren’t going to carry 3 goalies. Someone is going to have to go. That someone is likely going to be Bernier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That someone is likely going to be Bernier. Send Bernier to Utica for a conditioning assignment and try to showcase him for a trade at 50% retained down there. If no takers, put Bernier through waivers. If he's claimed, then good for him and it gets his salary off the books. If he is not claimed (which he won't be with that cap hit), then he's a really good insurance policy in Utica for the rest of the season. Owners will not like paying him $4.6 million to be an AHL G, and he will take time away from Daws and Schmid which is not ideal, but you really don't have much other choice. No point in releasing him and having a dead cap hit for the next 2 seasons from doing it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and there is always the chance (if he is well enough) someone’s goalie gets hurt and we can trade him. Even if one of our goalies is hurt, I would rather give Daws that chance, especially since technically we can’t afford Bernier anyway. I have to imagine that, when planning this season’s cap, the Devils had no intention of Bernier remaining here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'd either fill in the upper two white sleeve stripes with red, or eliminate the middle white sleeve stripe and then fill in the area between the two white stripes with red. Otherwise that upper white stripe looks like a piece of tape. But yeah, I would love those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are literally quoting Hischier and Bratt back to Jack and Jack is basically, "Yeah, it's fun winning." I hope they keep trying to get Jack to say things.
