Paper move maybe, could be as some suggest they want to give him a game at AHL speed before they bring him back to the NHL level. Just to make sure his head is screwed on straight now. 
 

It doesn’t say which team though but he is listed on the Chicago wolves roster and they play today. If he gets the start I would not be surprised. It’s also the last AHL game before their break so it would all make sense. Get him a game before he ships back to Carolina for Tuesday.

He is also 5 games away from losing his rookie status and having to go on waivers to be sent down. FYI. I really hope the FO isn’t planning on leaving him their and going Raanta + Martin barring the Freddie situation… 

Just a thought....

They keep Kochetkov in the AHL for the remainder of the regular season and keep Martin as the backup until Freddie is ready to return. (How many back-to-backs are left on the schedule?) Martin makes way for Freedie when the time comes and Kochetkov gets to avoid waivers.

Remember the rosters expand after the TDL and again in the playoffs. At this point, there is no penalty for either Martin or Kochetkov because they are under contract. The only possible loss would be if the playoff games count towards Kochetkov losing his rookie status.

He did not play in Chicago today so maybe it was just a paper move for cap space. But I would not be surprised if you are right. That said I still consider Kochetkov to be 1 in net when he’s healthy, he hasn’t shown anything otherwise thus far and we got two tough games to start after the break.

That sounds like an absolutely awful idea and I'm 100% sure it won't be happening.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
