siddious Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 As soon as Sam said, the Maple leafs were battling the flu the last game I knew someone was gonna be out for this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 All these precautionary call-ups are very strange for a team this close to the cap. Some of them seem to be a luxury more than a necessity. This just increases the suspicion that Jim Ramsey was hiding a lot of injuries. This coaching staff seems to sit players out if they fart crooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 With the injuries we've had the fact that we've gotten so many points is an actual miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really throws a wrench into the gears because you can't use it to maximize room and it's so difficult to even map out a potential return on a player like Chytil because it's a head injury and not something more normalized like a broken bone.

The Dude Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Edstrom? Out of all the forwards to call up you pick Edstrom? I'm guessing it's gotta be either Bonino or Goodrow. But they already have Brodzinski up, so why bring up a nobody center? Maybe Drury just likes to spread out his call ups, to give these guys a taste of the NHL experience, even if it is just to practice with the team. Do any of these guys make more money by being in the NHL? Could that be a factor with these unnecessary call ups? Just trying to get some guys more money?

Br4d Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 It's probably not a precautionary call-up. If the Rangers have a forward with flu-like symptoms it would be nuts to dress him with back-to-back games on the schedule. That's how you wind up with half the roster sick next week.

RichieNextel305 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 He’s in for Bonino, who is out sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Good for Edstrom. I'm thinking its a little strange that Nash didn't get the call. Edited December 16, 2023 by The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 5 minutes ago, Pete said: Figured Nash already had been with the team and in a game (Washington). I believe he's doing well in the A too. Nash is solid on draws decent defensively and can play physical/ drop the gloves. Would have been nice to go old school and sick the AHL call up on Wilson in that disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what they're doing with the call-ups these days, doesn't seem to make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
