Lapierre was sent down to Hershey to make room for Sandin’s return tonight. That’s not who I would’ve sent down but maybe it’s because Lapirre is waiver exempt for such a move.


Bear will be the healthy scratch on D.

Mickstix:
Carbs is shuffling the wrong deck. Needs to be finding a C to replace Kuz, whether it be via trade or call up. Gotta figure out the scoring, somehow, someway.

I really like Lapierre.  I hate to see him lose valuable development time here to an old guy.  Hopefully, Pacioretti will light it up and we can trade him at the deadline for a second round pick.


Regarding Bear, I think he has been alright - probably not much of a difference between him and Sundin. I've been surprised with the TVR benching as he seemed to be managements guy.
