Already done. You can see it it’s over. He’s in.
To me, it's not so much a matter of whether Rhino and even Flo deserve a spot in this roster, It's a yes. Both players posses something that the team needs more than what the players they're replacing can offer. Especially with Reinbacher, who it would now seem very unlikely if he DIDN't make the team, at least for now. Whether they can do it out of camp is not the hard decision. The tough part is deciding what to do with the player(s) Reinbacher and Florian would replace (Trade? Waivers? Terminate contract? Healthy scratch? 13'th forward?). We know Kent does not like to ever lose a player for nothing. But in this case, what these guys bring just may be valuable enough lose a player or two one way or another.
Its not complicated, banish Arber to the ECHL or somewhere in Siberia where we never have to hear of him, and use Engstrom/Struble till Guhle is ready.
Maheson-Dobson
Hutson-Reinbacher
Engstrom/Struble/Guhle-Carrier
Pretty straight forward, no?
Reinbacher in, trade one of Struble/Arber when Guhle gets back. Engstrom first call up from Laval. Let’s not overthink this, it’s not that deep.
Reinbacherr has forced Hughes to lose patience actually. He is forced to make a trade. Forced. And he likes maximum gain. He ain’t going to get it. He’s not going to simply lose an asset. And Reinbacher is ready. Trade coming, this week.
New intro is giving me a seizure.
With Guhle out, easy decision after 2 preseason games… Reinbacher has taken the lead. Engstrom looked better than Arber and Struble, to be fair. Everybody loves Arber but will he want to stay? Florian is a keeper. Dach has to go to another team, sadly it's over in Montreal. Texier, for me is on the bubble. I would prefer taking a chance in Beck. Glad I don't make the decisions.
struble has not been good so
Short monday video😢
To me, Flo Xhekaj and David Rheinbacker are essential elements required to improve
This team. Some of the experienced roster players are just dead weight. If ,Hughes cant trade them , he should just release them.
Rheinbacher is the best available partner for Hutson.
That will empower Hutson to have an even more productive year offensively.
