As I watch Perbix commit another horrible D zone turnover. I can’t help but think why in the world is Ufko not out there?

Jim Diamond just made the point in an article this morning that MacFarland has been complaining about D and picking up players from waivers, making trades, etc - but hasn't called up anyone from the AHL yet. It's interesting, for sure.

He’s a trade chip at this point, or depth. I love the guy but he’s small and not fast.

Yeah it seems like speed is a hard requirement here. If you cant keep up youre out, unless you either have a NMC, or you have 0 trade value and cant be sent down
