If both Lauko and Lucic can’t go next game they’ll need another FW, even if they sign Heinen.

Mirchell likely going down to make room for a FW due to injuries.

Steen maybe?

According to the transactions, he was sent down.

That leaves them with 10 healthy FWDs. 11 if they sign Heinen.

Either they anticipate Lucic or Lauko will be good to go or someone is coming up.

I would assume Looch is getting close, Monty said there’s a good chance he goes next game.

Lauko is a tough dude, could see him not missing a game and playing with a cage

Rumors spreading Lohrei taking Mitchell spot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems to soon. Not sure they can give him enough minutes to make it worth it.

I did see that Bucci post.

My last post had him coming up and I got roasted for it! Lol.

It may be a bit early but he looked good in pre season. I think he can help the team now. Would love to see at least a few games with him

Brown could have been assigned for today to accrue cap space and they can recall him tomorrow. They can also recall someone else. If the cut was minor as they've said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lauko playing.

Has not looked as good at Prov. Not horrible, but the mistakes are there. He needs more time. Unless they are cooking up a move with Forbort it makes little sense. Being waiver exempt helps his cause to come up for a couple of games but i’d rather when he comes up it’s for good.

Mitchell showed he can’t play the left hand side. The only reason to bring Lohrei up would probably be tied to how injured Forbort is. If he’s not healthy, I could easily see them going this will be a good learning experience for Lohrei. Also, could some of Lohrei’s struggles be tied to a level of disappointment? From my perspective, the support structure and mentorship possibilities are better in Boston. One item that is underrated is the things players can learn at the NHL level vs the AHL level. As long as Lohrei is playing, I’m OK with him up in Boston. I kind of prefer it because I think he can learn more from a Shattenkirk than his line mates in Providence.

My assumption is we’ve signed Heinen and the delay was to get the daily cap benefit of the difference between Zboril and Mitchell’s salary. The time was both an audition for Poitras and Mitchell. You could substitute Lohrei and Zboril with the cap equation.
