Nodl temporarily sent to Phantoms as Flyers officially get roster down to size

PrintAt 3 PM Eastern today, rosters have to be set at 23 players.
The Flyers, with Ian Laperriere and Michael Leighton still on the roster, sit with 25 players. The reports from camp today say that Lappy has been placed on the normal injured reserve, which leaves his cap hit in play but takes him off of the active roster.
Leighton, meanwhile, is still on the active roster. Perhaps the Flyers can't get clearance on him yet, but I'd say it's only a matter of time before the team puts both of these guys on LTIR.
In the meantime, to get down to 23, Andreas Nodl has been loaned to the Phantoms. Paul Holmgren says he'll be called back up when things get set with the injury situation.

from the nodl pic, surprising to see that a fan would get a lindros winter classic jersey. time heals wounds i guess.
Or just another jersey foul. I doubt it’s Lindros, more likely his own name or some dumb nickname.
Is this the right room for an argument?
That would be mildly hilarious, seeing as we should have had the #1 pick that year.

not like kane have put up superstar numbers anyway. Both carter and richards put you the same numbers, plus JVR could be a 70-80 points down the road too.

True, except i’m comparing what they got to what we got. And sorry to say, kane>jvr at this point. Yes, I know it isn’t really an equal comparison but down the road i’m sure JVR will flourish
I think kane will be like a Gagne. A very good hockey player, but at the end of his career he won’t be consdered a HoF.

Kane and Toews are not dominate players who can take over the game like Crosby, Malkin or Ovi. They are really good talented players elite 1st All-Stars but not as SUPERSTARS. I would still argue that Keith is a much more important player to their success that either Kane or Toews.
So is this a case where Homer did something wrong again?

haha, it has to be.
How are Laperriere and Leighton NOT already on LTIR?!?! Are you KIDDING ME?!?

Brilliant! Let’s carry 8 defensemen, only 12 forwards, and 3 goalies. Juuuust brilliant.

I mean, this doesn’t really/em> matter, does it? they are only dressing 20 tomorrow night, either way. How quickly is this expected to clear up? Is there independent way to find out when Lappy or Leights go on LTIR, or do we have to wait for a statement from the team?
Maybe it doesn’t really matter, but what happens if someone gets the flu tomorrow? What if someone gets a puck to the head in warmups or has their wife go into labor or misses the flight or any number of things that can prevent a guy from playing within 24 hours.
Even if that possibility is too remote to cause concern, why is Lappy on LTIR and Leighton isn’t? Their injuries were announced on the same day.

The answer to all those questions is Oskars Bartulis.
Maybe Leighton isn’t on LTIR because they want him back within 10 games/24 days?

I like your first answer, but to answer your question:
Good possibility, I just discount that based on Holmgren’s words. Which is a bad idea, so I discount that based on my mistrust of Holmgren’s words, meaning Leighton will be out at least 50% longer than Holmgren said.

What’s the difference between IR and LTIR? If Laperriere is projected to miss the entire season, why isn’t he on LTIR already? Can you not start the season on LTIR? I’m confused.
I didn’t think there was a difference between IR and LTIR…

Okay..yeah I’m clearly confused. I don’t understand the cap hit/roster spot/over 35/Rathje-like implications of it all.
IR is just general “he’s injured, not taking a roster spot.”
LTIR requires you miss more time. As a result, you also get the salary cap relief. It takes a lot more clearance from doctors to go on LTIR.

Nodl is back.
Flyrsfrk05 posted this in the morning thread. I think someone did a FanShot, too.
Yay for Nodl, NOOOOOOOO for everything else.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I don’t understand why a player has to count against your cap, regardless of age when they retire, especially when it is because they physically can not, or should not play anymore as in doing so is detrimental to your livelihood.

It’s to prevent cap circumvention.
Whether that is smart or not, whether it works or not, is a good debate I don’t feel like having right now. haha.

Look, just because you don’t think Nodl was the keystone piece in this roster, doesn’t mean I can’t.

If he ever is on a team that wins the cup, Nodl better be eating Cup O’Noodles out of the damn thing.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Not carrying a healthy forward is “minor”?

It was 1pm the day before the season even started, they were still settling the roster. It says “temporarily” right in the headline. He wasn’t dressing on Thursday anyway, what’s it matter if he’s sent down for one game?
What if Dan Carcillo aggravates his hernia during pre-game skate? What if Betts separates his shoulder putting his pads on?
Suddenly, you only have 11 healthy forwards to play an NHL regular season game. That’s a problem.

in terms of Lappy, I hope he doesn’t retire before home opener. Or even f he does, the team should still announce is name when they do this seasons roster before the game, get one last standing ovation to go out on.

You know he will be there for that, and they will do something for him so he can come out on the ice.

is there a ring ceremony? The phills had one this year for wnning the NL, so why not us for winning the East. Lappy can get a Pat da Bat type deal.

LTIR all season, activate him for Game 1 of Round 1 of the playoffs as the sixth defenseman and never let him off the bench? That meets the requirement to get your name on the Cup, right?
Obviously, doesn’t seem to be worth it, due to playoff roster size, injuries, etc. But it’s a nice fantasy.
teams can put whoever they want on the cup, up to something like 55 names I think? But with players, coaches, and staff, he might not make it.

Players need either 40 games in the regular season or 1 game in the postseason. Otherwise, they have to file with the league for an exception.
Does “whoever you want” really make sense to you?
Well, just cause you qualify doesnt mean you get on. would Nodl have gotten his name on the cup last year? Probably not.
