   Probably to make room for Bert?

   We aren’t tanking for Bedard are we? Someone tell me I’m crazy (as much as I want to win the Bedard olympics)

   Somebody who was waiver exempt was going to have to go down and Berggren and Veleno are better right now than Soderblom.

   Hope he continues playing well in GR, would help both him and the team.

   Honestly he already proved what he needed to, now it’s just a matter of developing and growing into that frame. Guy is going to be an absolute monster for the next decade for us

   Less than 26 games played so he can still win the Calder next year 😎

   Making room for Bert and Zadina to showcase them before the trade deadline

   I would love if he got some PK time to see if he can be viable there down the road in his career. I can just imagine a PK unit of him, Ras, Chiarot, and Mo. So much reach just fucking up passing lanes.

   I don’t like it, but ultimately it doesn’t matter.

   Lalonde sounded pretty convincing when he said the kids were playing too well to take out of the lineup a week ago

    A move to make us closer to Bedard 🤝

    So this, drop one of the goalies and we have room for Bertuzzi and Zadina…but we still need to lose one more player to have room for Vrana.

    You know, I feel like I can vaguely remember watching the off season moves and all the guys Yzerman was picking up and thinking “Do we need this many players?”
