insanity_gallops Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Given this trade, I think we can officially start calling him Commodore II. Or maybe Zyzuin Deux. Edited February 27, 2007 by insanity_gallops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 He can put Gionta on LTIR retroactively correct? wouldn't that free up the money required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Gionta's missed like six or seven games, he'd have to be out a few more to be put on LTIR, I'm sure the Devils don't want to do that till they have to. Of course if they do then Matvichuk can come back immediately and for good I believe. I'm not sure how much the Devils have saved up, yes the base difference between Matvichuk and Hale for the rest of the year is less than $200k but I don't know how much money the Devils have actually saved. They started with $15,000 of cap room and haven't kept a bare bones roster for the entire season and they did have to call up Greene once and he makes more than minimum. But like someone else said might as well let Lou figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 He can put Gionta on LTIR retroactively correct? wouldn't that free up the money required? No because the money doesn't come off the cap it just can be replaced. So it doesn't really fix any problems because the same amount of money would have to be shed for Gionta to come back.

njdevil26 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 matvichuk is back on the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 matvichuk is back on the roster Now that is the best Devils news we heard all day. Hopefully we will see Matvitchuk in the line up tonight. Looks like Gionta is out for his seventh straight game from reading other devils news.

Weekes Head Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Actually, Matvichuk's name never left the roster on the website. Mogilny's also been there all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Matty will play in the last 5, 8 or 10 games -- whichever can fit under the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You all know we only have 5 D on our roster as comprised now, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice dog Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 hale is a great pick up for the flames. he never reached his full potential, and then had the puck to the eye injury that made him miss the first part of the season. i hope matvichuck is in great shape and ready, hale was at least good to have around for insurance going into the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLDJR41 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 They will call up Fraser or Greene for tonights game, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 They will call up Fraser or Greene for tonights game, no worries. If they haven't already, there's no way this will happen unless these players were told to travel with the team. Pittsburgh and Lowell are quite longer than an hour away.

Guest Guest Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 No, the way it works is that we only have to have enough space left for Matvichuk's remaining contract. Ergo, Matvichuk making 1.368, can slide in for Hale's 550K, with no problem, because Matvichuk is only due to make about 400-450K more this season.EDIT - I was kind of hoping Lou would deal Matvichuk - I don't think he fits in for next season. I'd like to see Lukowich back for 2/3, personally, but I guess that just may not be in the cards - I prefer Lukowich's increased mobility. Explain your math to me -- unless Hale is making 550k for the rest of the season, that has to be incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Aparently Greene's in tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think its obvious or had been obvious to at least a few of us that Hale had not developed and it was time for him to move on. The return we got for him indicated once again that the barometer on him from teams around the NHL was not high at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I would rather see Matvichuk going to the Flames because Hale is younger. Although he has not reached his potential, but he is a decent depth defenseman for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Aparently Greene's in tonight and played very well. This kid Greene is going to be better than Hale. Greene stays in position and plays D and the PK very well. With Greene or Matvitchuck in the line up there will be no missing Hale. I will take Greene over Hale anyday.

With Greene or Matvitchuck in the line up there will be no missing Hale. I will take Greene over Hale anyday. I was very impressed with Greene when he was called up the first time, and I was very impressed with him tonight. He looks better a handful of games into his young career than Hale ever did in 3 years. He looks like he could be a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene is the future of the Devils defense and will be a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm not sure why Lou couldn't make this move weeks ago. I guess maybe he was hoping to get more. Hale was a first rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hale got a puck (or stick) to the eye and never fully recovered his hockey game. It's a real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, he didnt look too much on track even before that. I think its more a culmination of his health issue and a couple of other injuries he had earlier last year. I also think it was because he was a 1st round pick. He clearly wasnt going to develop into the player the Devils saw him developing into when they took him.
