They aren’t carrying a taxi squad in the NHL this season are they? 

No taxi squad this year which is why I feel like we should carry 23, the issue is fitting those 23 players under the cap along with Gardiner being on LTIR.

Sure we could always call someone up from Chicago but carrying 23 makes it easier.

Caught some highlights, looks like good things, things to work on, rooks are pulling their weight. 1 week and 1 day until regular season! 
 

For the majority of this season I think it’s prudent to do a single games thread, as the NBA forum does. Or perhaps monthly games thread so things don’t get completely lost.

Jarvis and Drury both look like players. And Cole looks like he's playing regular season already, the way he's was hitting guys last night.

Svech and Aho both had opportunities in the 3-on-3 OT to win last night and fumbled badly. Tripp and company were talking about how hard Svech worked in the off-season and how he was in camp early, but I don't think he looked good at all last night. He whiffed a couple shots, missed passes off his stick and his puck handling looked pretty rusty.

The team looked a little off in general with their passing, but I chalk it up to them still being in preseason mode.

Jarvis and Drury both look to be on an upwards trend.  I don't think they spend one of Jarvis's ELC years this year, but I think he'll see 9-10 games.  Drury might make the big club.

I noticed Bear really trying to force some passes that weren't there, we need to calm him down and let him know he doesn't have to try to do too much.

I think Svech also needs to relax and just play his game, it's like he's gripping his stick a little too tight since he signed that extension.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
