If Cronin likes him, I'm very much ok to pay that 5th.Or just grab someone off waivers and save the pick. Terry was a 5th rounder, so you never know. But apparently Cronin likes this guy, so we’ll see.
And that was clearly enough of a green light to make this trade. Verbeek giving a vote of confidence to his coach. Great.Or just grab someone off waivers and save the pick. Terry was a 5th rounder, so you never know. But apparently Cronin likes this guy, so we’ll see.
From all reports, Tracey hasn't earned it. For what it's worth, Meyers has WAY better numbers than Tracey in the AHL. He's older, but if we're talking about production, Meyers deserves the spot more than Tracey.I was hoping to see some more Gulls like Nester and even Tracey, rather than sending out a draft pick for a roster filler.
Yum small and soft like we like them…
Looking into his stats maybe we like him for his faceoff potential…. And he only took one penalty this season so it’s a strategy to get off the referee union’s shit list?
It’s a lost season, I don’t care if Meyers is slightly more likely to score an NHL goal in 23-24 than Tracey is.From all reports, Tracey hasn't earned it.

I'm not sure about Nesterenko. I wouldn't have minded him getting a callup, but perhaps this has to do with Meyers playing center. I think Nesterenko has been a winger in the AHL.

Agree, I'd rather give Tracey or other prospect development time because there is urgency to win.It’s a lost season, I don’t care if Meyers is slightly more likely to score an NHL goal in 23-24 than Tracey is.
He is another Johnny hustle high-effort type, but is no big, physical engaging, hitting machine that creates space for our young guns. If he was like the next coming of Luke Glendening type of player, I would be absolutely down for that. That dude had a 55% faceoff and dished out 2 hits per game and rarely got out hustled... impressive for such a little man...From where are you gathering that he's soft, lack of PIMs? Scouting reports I'm reading are saying the opposite, tenacious and strong on the boards. I'll take a small player who plays hard, over a gentle giant.

I don't care about that, either. I care about whether Tracey has earned the call up. He hasn't.It’s a lost season, I don’t care if Meyers is slightly more likely to score an NHL goal in 23-24 than Tracey is.
Tracey a Murray guy who hasn’t cut it yet. Let’s move on from this lazy bastard.I don't care about that, either. I care about whether Tracey has earned the call up. He hasn't.
Probably means another trade of one of our forwards is incoming and we want to have enough men on the roster? Just speculation, but it might also mean Vatrano is on the move.Reporting to Anaheim is interesting.
I think this is the take I agree with.The 5th might just be the price of filling out a roster the rest of this year. We're low on everything, even SD is gutted. Unlike us, they actually have a chance of making the playoffs, so continually plundering them of their top depth guys doesn't help us win but does screw them over.

Need bodiesReporting to Anaheim is interesting.
We only had 11 forwards last game, even after calling up 2 Gulls players. We need anybody we can get right now.Probably means another trade of one of our forwards is incoming and we want to have enough men on the roster? Just speculation, but it might also mean Vatrano is on the move.
Played half the year for the Avs last year, that's a better resume than Tracey might ever have tbh.Meyers having 48 regular season and 6 playoff games under his belt for the Avs, gives me full certainty his NHL floor is significantly higher at this point.
No, definitely not. But I’d like to see if there is anything there that he might show at the NHL level before he gets cut loose like Perreault.I don't care about that, either. I care about whether Tracey has earned the call up. He hasn't.
