Roster Moves - When Cammy Willsie and Nagy are ready to come back

[mcpuck]

When Nagy, Cammy and Willsie are healthy who do you bump from the roster to make room?

I am not ready to send Moulsen and Purcell back just yet. Dean has to make some tough choices here.

Guliano is good at penalty kill and provides energy on the 4th line. I would keep Thornton on the team but make him a healthy scratch. I feel now Dean has start standing by the new guys from Manachester.

The way Purcell has played certainly makes someone wonder whether a GM can justify sending him back down. Top that off with the way O'Sullivan has worked on Kopitar's wing and I believe there definitely is a dilemma to be tackled when Cammalleri is healthy again.

With the trading deadline comimg up and a bunch of guys leaving, even if they are sent down, they, as well as Gauthier will be up again soon.

It might solved February 26th, but most likely it'll be solved over the summer.

First, I would waive Willsie.

I would certainly put Nagy and Cammalleri in, as to let scouts and other GM's see them play. I would then entertain offers for them.

This would unfortunately force out either Moulson and Purcell. I suppose Moulson goes back to Manchester, until players are traded.

Know that Dustin Brown is going to miss 2 upcoming games for the birth of his child. I suppose Guiliano stays, because he does okay in the 4th line role; one that you don't want Moulson or Purcell in.

I never want to see Zeiler up again. Apparently, he still "can't find it with both hands" - he reportedly got a beautiful feed from Boyle the other night and missed an open net.
I cannot fathom why DL gave this guy $750,000 (I think that is unfortunately correct)...the most ever paid to a player who may as well play without a stick, as the only thing he can do with it is whack opponents with it.

I've been impressed with Moulson, and think he's an upgrade over Willsie. But I'm sure he'll be sent down when Nagy and Mike C. come back.

Purcell's pass looked to Armstrong looked 2nd nature for him. How many times has Brian Willsie made a pass like that in his 1 1/2 season with the Kings?

[Jim Jones]

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to send Purcell and Moulson down with the promise that they'll be back up after the trade deadline.

Somebody still needs to be in Man to help them make the playoffs for Bernier.

Ideally, you wanna have Nagy, Willsie, Thornton, and Cammi (if he's on the block too) with lots of playing time.

Wilsie and Thornton have little trade value if any. I wouldnt expect anything more than a 3rd rounder for either of them. But at the end of the day, I dont really see any of them getting moved, unless they are part of some larger deal. No team is calling up DL and begging to get their hands on these guys.

I expect both Moulson and Purcell to get sent down when the injured guys return to the lineup. I think Purcell has a good shot of being called up again later on in the season (after trade deadline), and perhaps sticking with the team full time next year.

From Inside the Kings


``We really like the contributions of these young guys that have come in,’’ Marc Crawford said. ``I think our players are getting more excited to have youth in our group.’’

Crawford said Purcell and Moulson are likely to stay with the team for the eight-game road trip that follows the break.

``Right now we have so many injuries that I don’t think it's a question,'' Crawford said. ``It doesn’t look like Cammalleri will be back immediately. It doesn’t look like Nagy will even go on the trip. Willsie is probably the closest but I think he still may be a little bit away. So I suspect those guys will continue on with us. I don’t know if they will go back and play some games for the Monarchs here now during the break. They have played well. I thought their contribution ton was good on the scoreboard but particularly good just overall.''

I completely agree with this. Moulson seems to hustle more than Willsie and is certainly around the puck more. Since his call up, Moulson looks hungry to get to it and to get involved in the play. He's even put shots on net!

Manchester needs veterans down there, why not ship them one?
