I only added it in because I didn't want to put it in for a dozen or so guys as soon as the season starts. It'll be easy to remove.
again how can guys that just signed contracts be listed as in the minors? have you checked out the isles defense and the fact that mciver has a better chance to make the team compared to bordeleau who you have listed just because in reality.

at least caps05 has a clue as to who should be listed for the ahl/echl lists compared to this list that was just thrown together with no real determination as to who should be on it or why.

As a Hawks fan it pains me to suggest giving Vancouver a few more toughness points, but I think Zack Kassian may be worthy of being listed.

Because they're two-way, you'd bitch if I listed Bordeleau as on the Avs team right now and he's in the same position as McIver as far as the NHL is concerned right now.

so because they're on two-way deals that in your mind automatically puts them in the minors? great thought process because it doesn't make sense especially for someone like nathan mciver.

again i will say that maybe you should have thought this out better because one day its one rule for guys, the next its another after you didn't even really have "rules" in the first place.

it might may more sense to put TWO-WAY next to the player instead of currently in minors because that just might make a little more sense considering its the offseason and guys like haley, mciver and many others just signed new deals and have a chance to make an nhl club as its a new season...

Chilly has a point. You really don't have an idea where these players signed to two-way contracts are going to end up until teams actually announce their opening night rosters.

You should add Mike Weber to Sabres (6 fights last season)

With all those "minors" players added

you should add Tropp & Finley. They both played in NHL and fought last season.

Anaheim Ducks: Bryan Allen
Buffalo Sabres: Marcus Foligno
Colorado Avalanche: Ryan Wilson
Calgary Flames: Cory Sarich, and why not Jarome Iginla?
St. Louis Blues: Scott Nichol, Barret Jackman (doesn't show but he manages to get 4-5 fights a year)
Philadelphia Flyers: Marc-André Bourdon
Washington Crapitals: Troy Brouwer (5-6 fights per year)
Phoenix Coyotes: Raffi Torres
Boston Bruins: I would add Johnny Boychuk as he will fight if a brawl breaks out and get 3-4 fights a year on top.

To be added for sure when they sign:

Jim Vandermeer
Jay Rosehill
Zack Stortini
Byron Bitz
Matt Bradley
Brad Winchester
Mike Commodore
Tom Kostopoulos
Brad Mills

Actually they do... I only introduced those requirements so I didn't get stupid requests like Matt Greene and Dustin Penner...

Yep he was bought out

Last year was 2-way, this year was supposed to be 1-way.
