All waiver-exempt players (Edstrom, Rempe, Mancini, Berard and Cuylle) are being assigned to the Wolf Pack and Leschshyn, Blidh, Harpur and Sykora are being recalled. Robertson, who went on waivers yesterday, cleared, but remains up for now.
This is being done to maximize the benefit of using LTIR cap space. So the recalled players will be on the season-opening roster, which is as of 5 p.m. tomorrow. After 5 p.m. tomorrow, some of them will go down, and some of the guys who went down today will be recalled. Got that?

Honestly no I don’t got that I’ll just wait till the day of to see the starting rosters and then wildly overreact thanks very much.
wtf??? Someone ELI5
Basically check back at 5 tomorrow. Paper transaction.
opening night roster isnt changing, just “paper” moves until Wednesday night.
Honestly sounds like some cap gymnastics that won’t matter, but unlike the other guy I’m going to wildly overreact now.
WHY IS LESCHYSCHYN ON THIS TEAM? AND BLIDH OVER CUYLLE? WHAT IS THIS TEAM THINKING? FIRE LAVI AND DRURY AND DOLAN AND THAT GUY AT THE MSG CONCESSIONS WHO I SAID “YOU TOO” WHEN HE TOLD ME TO ENJOY THE GAME BECAUSE I CAN NEVER SHOW MY FACE AT THAT CONCESSION STAND UNTIL HE’S GONE.
I love me some paper transactions
That’s a lot of words for my simple brain.
Well, Berard might not come back up with Bread healthy, but safe to assume he’ll be the #1 call-up this season.
With Vesey headed to LTIR and Lindgren on regular IR, it looks like Edstrom, Rempe, and Mancini all made the opening night roster.
Of those 3, Mancini is the biggest surprise. I consider myself a pretty informed fan, and even I’ll admit he came out of nowhere. Funny to look back at the rumblings “he had a great season at Nebraska; he’s joining HWP; he’s been excellent for HWP; he had a great playoff; he had a great rookie camp; he had a great camp/preseason; he’s on the team.” Has to be one of the most quiet “hey this guy is actually pretty good” that I can think of in recent history.
Our other prospects should take note. He really went and grabbed this opportunity that came out of nowhere.
In other news, Jake Leschshyn is still around.
I personally enjoy my over reacting to everything. I have and will go from “we should be sellers at deadline” to planning for a parade during the same period. Insanity runs deep in the Ranger community and I fit right in.
I get why it’s happening, I just hate how much more complex the LTIR rules make roster moves haha
