Schultz for Carter ??

[Deleted]

Steelers have just released Jesse Schultz...31 points in 31 games... worth a punt over Carter??

[Deleted]

I wouldn't disrupt things especially now that Williams is here and we seem to be on an upswing. On the limited viewings I've seen from Carter he's shown flashes of being very good plus him & Brown definitley have chemistry.

I also don't think we've had a fair reflection of Carters abilities as hasn't he been playing injured for the majority of his time here (something he should be commended for in my view)?

[Shorty]

Give him a short term contract for a month and see how he does.

Iginla suggested there is another defenceman on his way as well.

I'm with NYRpanther on this one... don't think that simply grabbing in the first available player is a sensible move. Plus we already have one Schultz, two would be greedy!

If we need to bring in anyone else... someone like Kudroc, please.

If Clarke's due back soon I wouldn't go for Schultz, fail to see what he would add in that situation. Plus there's still the factor of having to fit in one of MacMillan/Lindhagen up front once everyone's healthy. Nice problem to have.

Saying that, if another defenceman is coming in is it safe to assume one of Waugh/Dimmen are more seriously injured than previously thought?

You'd have to assume Waugh as Dimmen has been skating this week

Haha the Steelers are worried by the Williams factor.
Only yesterday they were saying changes but "we won't be rushed"......and today ! 😂 LOL

[thebestpanthers]

No thanks - we have moaned about some of our players in the past (but what is new) Do not think that gassing anyone now is the way forward - maybe add another "D" man but that is all - unfortunately we will still pick up injuries before the end of the season

Who cares whether it's the first avaible, they don't do much better when they ''scout' 9 hockey managements website.

Do we think there's any chance of Kudroc returning? He's still on the roster page on the website and they're normally pretty sharp at taking players off there who have left.

I was wondering that as well

[PantherB]

You'd think there would be additional circumstances for the release. It's not very often a PPG player gets released from a team who can go top if they win their games in hand.

I wouldn't be too bothered about us going for him, not that we will.

I wouldn't read much into the Kudroc thing either. Not even Williams is on the roster page yet so it hasn't been updated for a while.

They can't, which is maybe why the change. But I agree it seems an odd release, although I did read he's gone off the boil after a fast start (not scored in 10 or something).

he scored against us on Boxing Day, there's plenty of other players on their team who have contributed a lot less on the points front as well, I think he's been made a scape goat and I'm surprised nobody has snapped him up in all honesty

That says to me he's either too expensive, a bad apple, or both.

[Yotes]

It was 1 goal in 10:

Maybe the rest of his game wasn't up to snuff when the goals dried up?

Or like Kiev says, he's a wrongun.

Well - who is happy that we didn't do what some people wanted us to do??
