He isnt signed on an NHL deal...he signed an AHL 1 year deal...so Philly could either sign him to a 1-day ATO like Schenn...or sign him to an ELC and call him up on emergency basis like what LA did with Volkov, Mtl did with Michaud, etc I dont think it will happen as Backlund would have to get hurt in order for them to cal Riopel up. I thought I read that Backlund is hurt ... |

I thought I read that Backlund is hurt ... Oh ok, i know Philly now has Teslak and someone they signed to an AHL ATO down in the AHL...and Duchesne and Boucher in the NHL... They still have 4 goals in the AHL+NHL as of now, so I dont see the need to remove Riopel from his QMJHL team the day before the playoffs. Now if Boucher or Duchesne get hurt they could go with 2 ATO's in the AHL...i dont know if theyd wanna do that though. If I were a Moncton fan, I wouldnt be too worried about it. |

I wouldn't be too worried about it either but as a non Moncton fan just the sheer possibility of it happening is awesome |
