This could mean that Jose will be out for a while
since they didn’t just call up Holtby to be the bench gargoyle.

I think he meant because they didn’t call up Holtby like they did last time they needed a benchwarmer for a game.

Well, it could mean that they called him up to play, i.e. “The Caps didn’t call up Mathieu Perreault to sit in the press box.” Simple misunderstanding.

Do I get the gold star for getting it right? ;-)
I see how it could have been misread, but given that the title of the thread says that Neuvirth was recalled, I thought it a little hard to make that jump.
by gfcaps fan on Nov 17, 2009 9:44 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I thought he might have been referencing a Holtby-to-Hershey transaction, which would probably tell us more about Theo’s timetable than the Neuvirth-to-Washington move.

Thats easy to fix, just include it in the Rink’s tagline. Not sure how you would do that, but I’m sure someone creative will think of something.

I think that is reading way too much into a call-up. Neuvirth is the more logical call-up in terms of experience, earning the call-up and proximity. Neuvirth was injured or just returning from injury the last time a call-up was required, IIRC. Also, Neuvirth’s cap hit is higher, but less than $100,000 more.
by sk84fun_dc on Nov 17, 2009 10:22 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Well Holtby got called up last time presumably because of the cap hit difference so he’s not coming out of left field.

by Whiter Mage on Nov 17, 2009 1:20 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Health status and the cap hit were factors, but I’d have to look it up again to confirm on the cap hit aspect; at that time, most transactions had a cap factor involved. At the time of the Holtby recall in October, Neuvirth had yet to play a regular season game due to injury and was scheduled to get his first start the same night a backup was required for Washington, IIRC. However, this time with the 2 call-ups it is a different situation, by my math, the only way the cap situation works is if either they managed to get Nylander off the cap or Knuble was put on LTIR.
My response that there was too much being read into the call-up choice is in the context that IMO no way to know if this was a short-term or long-term call-up based on which goalie was recalled. Since then, it appears more likely this is a short-term situation.

Dunno. Holtby has been called to Hershey now.

That does not change anything with regard to my earlier comments.
Right now, all we know is Theodore is on a LOA and is day to day.
With the cap space available, Neuvirth is the logical recall to the NHL and the domino effect is Holtby recalled to Hershey so that there are 2 goalies for practice and if necessary, for the game on Friday.

I figured it to be a given. No way is he out less than 10 games. Based on the schedule, that hits the minimum three weeks for him to be out.
by gfcaps fan on Nov 17, 2009 10:23 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
looking at the schedule, there’s 10 games in a 22 day period immediately following Knuble’s injury. My guess is the Caps are concerned about the “24 day” stipulation regarding LTIR. If I’m counting right, I think Knuble would be eligible to come off LTIR on Dec. 8, so he could play in Buffalo. If he’s out the full 4 weeks, that puts him at Dec. 12, which is in Toronto. (the Caps have a brutal week Dec. 7-12. Another 4 games in 6 days thing)
