...one of the studs from Springfield.


but seriously, deserving on his part.

So I guess Akil is Springfield bound then. Hoping both Luff and Kaski play tomorrow.

I think that it's time for a transition - one of the expensive vets has to be sacrificed and the youth movement has to take place. This is a great draft to have a lottery pick or two...

I wonder why they called up Luff? Maybe they want the younger guys to keep playing together in Springfield.

He's gotta be in for Buch, right?

Right?

It is underway.

But bringing up a 28-year-old who's 62nd in AHL scoring is not about that!

[DawgDad]

Hey, he's from Oakville

[somni]

My guess is Luff is here fir insurance and that Kaskimaki will play.

Blues need a "vet" that can step in easy if need be.

[leedog68]

Insurance in case Pea Shooter can't go.

He’s the T-birds leading scorer. He has 27 pts in 106 games of NHL experience. He’s also 6’3” and plays the style of game to where he likely wouldn’t look out of place on an NHL 4th line. He’s nothing special but is the best option at the moment.

It’d be nice if we had another young stud that was NHL ready but we don’t. Stenberg, Pekarcik etc just aren’t ready yet. If they recall a young rookie that’s performing well below a vet then good luck getting the vet, career minor leaguer types to keep signing with you.

When a guy like Luff is the best option, you call him up.

I appreciate all the opinions.

Will be watching to see.

How long do you think it will take for the broadcast analyst to figure it out though?

Yeah, I saw some bad info on X……said he had 2 goals and 2 assists. Those are actually stats from 2022 with Detroit, not this year with Springfield. He’s certainly not the next coming of Brett Hull, but if he deserves the call up, then good for him.

You can still sign them, they’re just happy to get jobs.
This move does nothing for us.

Good for him. 4th line energy guy with some physicality. He’ll give it his all if he gets in the lineup. Even career minor leaguers deserve a game here and there, but as others have said, not a difference maker. We don’t have any of those ready, and even those here (Dvo) are having their growing pains.
