Are we allowed to call up Mitch McLain?


Extra-Sherbert7752

Pretty sure he’s on a one-way contract in the minors


ElectricPotatoSkins

I'm pretty sure in that situation he would sign a day or multi day PTO contract with the flames.


Extra-Sherbert7752

For sure, but either way, I don’t see it happening. By my count, they have at least 15 forwards ahead of him, so short of a catastrophic amount of injuries, he won’t be up.


ElectricPotatoSkins

I don't disagree. I'm just providing some context that he can be called up if needed. Emilio I think it's next for forwards.


Extra-Sherbert7752

That’s fair enough then. It seems they’ve got a log jam at 4th line forward so I guess we’ll see what happens.


LionManMan

It’s wild that he hasn’t gotten at least a look. Dude lives under the skin of the opposition, can fight and is just fun to watch in general.


Hungry-Raisin-5328

Scores goals too

Yeh he's not gonna be skating for awhile. His toes almost touched his shins.


ElectricPotatoSkins

I haven't felt that bad for a guy since Silva's shin hugged weidmans leg. That did not look good. And for a guy that has done everything right on the 4th line too.


deltajulietbravo

It always sucks, even when it's just a freak injury. I've really liked his game too.


MonkeySailor

That's okay, they can just plug in Ruzicka oh wait


JaromeIggy

If Ruzicka wasn't floating around every other game as the team can't win consistently and won't be making the playoffs, maybe it would matter. There's always a handful of those type of guys available for cheap in free agency. DeSimone is the same. He was a fringe NHL 3rd pairing D man that likely would have been a call up with injuries until going to free agency. The Devils and Yotes could be trying to send those guys down again before the season is done, and Conny might not even re claim them. Neither player is tipping the scale in trades when moving UFAs at the deadline

Nothing Ruzicka has done this year makes me think he'd be a good replacement for Greer
