Thread: Alec Martinez to IR Campbell called up

Ellerby is a very good skater, especially for his size....I think he is going to get really good under Sutter and Bernie Nichols.

If Mitchell had let the team know "by the way, cleared or not, I'm going to need a month or two of conditioning and getting used to playing w/ this injury"... couldn't we have put him on the IR and kept Hickey with the big club?

My understanding is he's never been activated onto the roster to begin with, so we don't need to put him on IR. Still would have kept Hickey over Muzzin.

They eventually did, but way later.

In hindsight, maybe, but if the guys you need to replace are Mitchell and Greene I'm not sure Hickey's the right choice to keep up.

Wonder what Rob Cowie, Tim Watters, Doug Houda and Jon Slaney are up to...

We're looking for a Mitchell sighting....

Chris Snell is pretty upset that you didn't mention him.

What big hard nosed d'men are available? Jaybo? Phaneuf?

Wow, this is starting to remind me of Andy Murray's heday when the Kings were the walking wounded
