This may be how the lines end up.  Really don’t like Thompson on the 4th.  Can’t understand why he would play over Gustafson.  Maybe it has something to do with Gustafson working back after his injury in Sweden, but I’m doubtful.

DeMelo on the bottom pair seems a bit strange.

Thought Harkins injured?

Yeah, he hasn’t been practicing.  I guess it would just be a simple switch, to bring in Perreault from the taxi squad.  Haven’t looked into how that works, but can’t imagine there’s a lot of hurdles to clear.

Still hate Thompson playing over Gustafsson.

I don't see Stastny, Lowry, or Ehlers. Reasons for missing may vary.

Anton Forsberg, 28, was claimed on waivers Friday morning. The native of Sweden was waived earlier in the week by Edmonton, claimed by Carolina, then put back on the waiver wire in an attempt to send him to their taxi squad.

This guy makes Comrie's head spin.

I think that since he has been waived he can go straight to the taxi squad and or Moose

No, he has to clear waivers to get there. That's why Carolina couldn't just move him to the taxi squad.

Has to stay on the main roster or be waived to get on the taxi squad.  If he clears waivers, then he become waiver exempt for 30 days.

Anton Forsberg is on his third team in a week, claimed off waivers by the Winnipeg Jets. Forsberg never did leave Edmonton when the Carolina Hurricanes claimed him from the Oilers, meaning he will be able to travel to Winnipeg and not have to face a border quarantine. He will, however, need to stay on the Jets active roster for the time being and cannot be assigned to the taxi squad or minor leagues until he clears waivers.

Of course, carrying a third goaltender on the active roster really isn’t an issue for the Jets at the moment, given they’re already into long-term injured reserve space. The team will have to move one of the players from their roster onto the taxi squad, but that shouldn’t be an issue given Kristian Vesalainen and Logan Stanley, two waiver-exempt players, were both scratched last night.

Forsberg meanwhile becomes the Jets third-string option after Winnipeg lost Eric Comrie to the New Jersey Devils. The veteran netminder still doesn’t figure to play a ton this season but adds some depth to a position the Jets can ill afford to be weak at. Connor Hellebuyck carries the load, but if he were to ever go down to injury or illness, Laurent Brossoit is the only other Jets netminder signed to an NHL deal in North America.
