Salcido recalled

As per an email I received from David McNab. He'll join the team in Detroit.

Hmm...why? Trade coming?

Pronger
Niedermayer
Montador
Hedican
Festerling
Mikkelson
Brookbank
Salcido

Hmm...why? Trade coming?


My thoughts exactly. I can't see any other reason except injury. Perhaps one of "the big 2" will be sent packing.

The Ducks already had 7 guys: Niedermayer, Pronger, Brookbank, Montador, Hedican, Festerling, Mikkelson.

Theory 1: Was there a defenseman that didn't get minutes at the end of the game yesterday? Maybe an injury or Carlyle benched a guy? Can someone go to nhl.com and check (I don't have access to that site here)?

Thoery 2. The flu/mono/whatever is going through the lockerroom like wildfire. Including multiple defensemen. They need another just in case.

Theory 3 (static's theory). A Dman will be traded soon.

Hedican played less than 10 minutes last night, much less than his average. It would be much more sensible to assume he has some sort of issue and Salcido is up to take his spot, or Mikkelson's in the press box.

Hedican only played one shift in the third period and logged just under 10 minutes for the game.

Thanks guys.

Ha. If it is Hedican, hahaha was just mentioning yesterday how he was being unusually physical last night. Now you know why he's not normally like that.


Another possibility was someone was hurt during the line-scrum after Niedermayer's charge.

My guess is that Salcido is being recalled to take over Carlyle's coaching spot.

*crossing fingers!*

Just evaluating other guys?

According to Allducks.com, Festerling has been reassigned to Iowa.

I'm glad if that's true. Festerling has looked really bad lately. He had one good game a couple of games ago, but he seems to be really out of sink. He goes for the check and gets easily rubbed off. However, I'd still rather have him up then Mikkelson. I am glad Salcido is finally getting his shot though.

If they are, seems like an odd time, unless they've thrown in the towel.

its good to see him get a call up. i have been a "salsa" fan since i saw him play scaha.

I guess that's mystery solved then. I did see Hedican playing in Festerling's spot opposite Indecision-mayer like every other shift against the Kings. So in hindsight we probably should have known.

Maybe Festerling's hit the rookie wall. But still. Mikkelson over Festerling?

Guess they want him to play.

Pretty good Salcido article at LA Times...

He looks pretty good tonight so far, much better than Mikkelson.

Salcido has been sent back down with Drew Miller being called up. I hate this move because I thought Salcido was much better than Mikkelson in the time he played.

He'll be back once our defensive situation is stabilized im sure. If he doesn't play next season with us he'll be traded to a team that will play him. He's done enough at the AHL I'm sure he'll be brought up with us or another team next season.

I think we'd all prefer it was here, though.

definitely. If he can translate what he has been doing for 2 years in the AHL to the NHL he'll be worth more than we can ever realistically get for him in a trade. Plus he is a local boy.

I can't figure out why Carlyle and Murray like Mikkelson more than Salcido.

Murray mentioned that there were bonus issues with Salcido's contract that factored in the past. Maybe that's still part of it.

I duno, I'm not so sure it's that they like Mikkelson more. I think we just have enough offensive defensemen right now. Nieds, Whitney, Hedican, Montador (to an extent). I really see Salcido having a place on the team next year or being traded. There's just no way he goes back to the AHL.
