Those guys are at least UFAs after the season. There is no chance imo that Carolina trades Ward this season. That team has been clawing it's way to a financially much-needed playoff run led by Cam Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually had a very good year statistically and is recently getting rewarded with a good W-L (6-2 in last 8 I think). They're doing fine in goal. They need to work on team defense. If we could get him for not much, though, I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave up the 7th pick of last years draft for Stephan and Raanta with hopes to make Raanta the #1 netminder. Although the season didn't get off to the start the Yotes wanted Raanta and his team have been playing much better of late. I don't want either of Detroit's goalies, with deepest apologies to yave.

Howie58 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If this injury is long-term or season ending, I give it less than 50-50 that Neuvy is back next year. He is too inconsistent and brittle to take up a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself i think they will find someone else after the season anyways season ending or not just for the same reasons you mentioned....Elliott ain't getting any younger qnd the most games in a season was 55 so he will need a backup for 25-30 games....any Neuvy is just not reliable.

OccamsRazor Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I wonder if we see a Carter Hart recalled due to emergency conditions. If Tokarski has to be called up he will be subject to waivers to be sent back down. I might go this route before being forced to make a trade.

That team has been clawing it's way to a financially much-needed playoff run led by Cam Ward. I went back and forth on including him, but I don't think Carolina makes the playoffs. You're probably right though, they're too close a week out to be sellers. Hart isn't under contract, and they'd need to lose a third goalie to injury before they could call him up from juniors. Since it is an emergency situation, Tokarski would not be subject to waivers when returned to the AHL, but he must be returned immediately upon Elliott or Neuvirth being cleared to return.

Hart is having a banner year for one thing, and he's far far too young. It would be a mistake, and Hex of all people seems extremely unlikely to make such a mistake. I can see Tokarski getting a look. Really, who cares if he's lost to waivers on the way back down? It's not like he'll be around after this season anyway, and I have serious doubts he would generate any trade interest. The sad part of all this for me is that next season is likely going to be remarkably similar with regards to our goalie situation. Really, Hex should have claimed one of the waiver goalies imo, unless he has something bigger in the works (he might). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon played much better in relief yesterday. I wanted to make sure I said that out loud. Lehtera too and not just because he scored. He was really going to the net and making things happen all game.

brelic Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/GARTHS-CORNER/Throwing-Alex-To-The-Lions/6/91081 From the Buffalo blogger. Musings on Lyon, Lehner, Kane. The whole post is interesting actually. Like, why is Vancouver looking to be BUYERS at the deadline? I’d be pissed if Ron were a buyer in the same situation. And why isn’t he looking to sell the Sedins who are UFAs and maximize return?? Finally, he talks about the hit from Wood on the Devils. Hard to believe he wasn’t ejected or didn’t at least get a major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I agree with Bre's post that timeframe will dictate a big part of this discussion. If we have a few games, that suggests one strategy. A longer stint out means another. But...I still think this "event" reinforces a longer-term issue with Neuvy. I think Hextall probably regrets signing him to a second year. My hope is to keep prospects and let the chips fall with our talent. This position is pretty high risk. The risk-return on trade doesn't make a helluva a lot of sense.

That is a hit that has no place in the game. the puck is gone for an easy 1.5 count, Namestinkov's numbers are showing and Woods leaves his feet ? whiskey foxtrot tango ? There is no "hockey' reason to not let up on that hit, sure, give him a little whack, but trying to knock the guy into the future...? Kid needs suspended.
