Earth to Lindy, You don't bench Stafford!!

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Hecht had a +/-2 last night.

[camelcowboy]

Shut it, Stafford needs to sit. I wouldn't be against sending the premadonna to Portland.

He can't go to Portland...he'd need to clear waivers. However, I do agree, he needs to sit...he hasn't played very well this season.

[Dr. Lecter]

I agree.

He should have sit Kaleta.

[camelcowboy]

He can't go to Portland...he'd need to clear waivers. However, I do agree, he needs to sit...he hasn't played very well this season.no he's waiver eligable. They discussed it on wgr. 3 years or 160 games

[camelcowboy]

I agree.

He should have sit Kaleta.why?

[hydro]

no he's waiver eligable. They discussed it on wgr. 3 years or 160 games

You obviously missed the part where they talked to Reigier and he said he isn't because of when he was signed. It was only 80 games.

[hydro]

why?

It's LWs boy. The Dr. is just trying to get him going :D

[BlackMetalNinja]

no he's waiver eligable. They discussed it on wgr. 3 years or 160 gamesWrong... He signed his contract at 21, once he plays 80 games, which he has done, he's eligible for waivers, which is why he hasn't been sent down. He'd be snatched up in a heartbeat by somebody.

[OpIv37]

Stafford has struggled all season. I really can't believe anyone would suggest playing Stafford over Hecht because Hecht had one bad game in his first game back from an injury.

If LW was the coach, our top line would be Kaleta/Stafford/Vanek. There's a good 35 goals a year!

[rbochan]

I would prefer to see Stafford back on the 4th line with Kaleta and Mair, like was done last spring. They hit, they blocked shots, and they scored. It was an all out smack line, and exciting as hell to watch.

Hecht had a +/-2 last night.

So he was a +2?

[hydro]

So he was a +2?

No, a +/-2. Don't you know anything aboot hockey :shakeno:

[SabreEleven]

I guess I don't :sadwalk: or I would have picked Boston and Atlanta to win this weekend

Drew Stafford is eligible to be sent down. No waivers apply.

Stafford was 20 when he signed his contract and has played approximately 130 games. So by looking at the line i have highlighted you see he is still eligible.

A little research goes a long way guys.

I say send him to Portland

I say send him to PortlandWrong... he was 20 when he signed, but he turned 21 that year, which makes him 21 in the NHL's eyes... and therefore 80 games was the limit. They discussed it during the broadcast the game Hecht came back.

[User Manuel]

Fair enough. Didn't see the game.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Fair enough. Didn't see the game.I happened to catch that part because I asked the same question to a buddy before hand... he actually gave me the correct answer too. I find him to be quite reliable when it comes to such things.
