Monday: After clearing waivers yesterday, Rosen has now officially been sent back to the Thunderbirds. Springfield will start the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday against the Laval Rocket.
Saturday: It’s rare at this time of year to see someone on regular waivers but that is indeed the case today as CapFriendly reports (Twitter link) that the Blues have placed defenseman Calle Rosen on the wire. The move is being made with the intention of sending him back to Springfield of the AHL to assist in the playoff run for the Thunderbirds.
The 28-year-old spent most of the season in the minors but he was recalled due to injuries in late March and stayed up the rest of the play and was in the lineup for St. Louis more often than not. Rosen wound up playing in a career-best 18 regular season games for the Blues this season, collecting seven points while averaging a little over 14 minutes a night. In the playoffs, he played in all but three of their twelve games, once again logging over 14 minutes per contest. He was productive in his stints with Springfield as well with 28 points in 40 AHL contests.
If someone was to claim Rosen, he’d be ineligible to play the rest of the season, even if he was picked up by a team that’s still playing. As he’s an unrestricted free agent this summer, the likely only rationale for a team to claim him would be one of the other teams still participating in the AHL playoffs wanting to prevent Springfield from getting a key player back. That seldom happens so there’s a good chance Rosen will clear on Sunday and will join Charlie Lindgren (who returned to the minors earlier today) as those going back to help the Blues’ affiliate make a push for the Calder Cup.
Claim to fame was shoving Kadri into his own starting goalie. Then showing us the fans who shouldn’t be watching hockey.
Right… that’s what happened cant wait for Tampa or the canes to crush your dreams
Weird that Rosen shoved Kadri into Binnington even though Kadri was BEHIND and to the side of Rosen.
Is this the Justin Faulk-maiming Kadri you speak of?
Not just Faulk
What the?
Faulk?
You talking about?
Oh, you mean there’s more victims in Kadri’s wake.
