GDT: #10 New Jersey Devils @ Philadelphia Flyers 7:00PM: Technical Difficulties Edition

[Classic Devil]

I know very little information has been released regarding Patrik's injury and timeline for return, but what's everyone's feelings on when he legitimately will come back?

Not a clue.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Cammalleri-Henrique-Stempniak
Elias-Zajac-Palmieri
Tlusty-Josefson-Kalinin

would be my top 9 once Elias is back

 

[Devil X]

Cammalleri-Henrique-Stempniak
Elias-Zajac-Palmieri
Tlusty-Josefson-Kalinin

would be my top 9 once Elias is back

I say anyone of Tootoo, Kalinin, or Ruutu would be ok on that 3rd line RW

 

[Bleedred]

Cant possibly be worse then some of the players we currently have in the bottom 6

Elias at 50% of what he was last season is still better than most of our bottom 6.

 

[Zippy316]

Cammalleri-Henrique-Stempniak
Elias-Zajac-Palmieri
Tlusty-Josefson-Kalinin

would be my top 9 once Elias is back

If we get a 50 point pace Elias, that could actually be a formidable forward group.

Would prefer Tootoo instead of Kalinin at the 3RW for stylistic reasons. I feel like Tlusty - Josefson - Tootoo compliment each other nicely.

 

[Balance]

Cammalleri-Henrique-Stempniak
Elias-Zajac-Palmieri
Tlusty-Josefson-Kalinin

would be my top 9 once Elias is back

I want Elias to maybe play on the 3rd line with Kalinin when he gets in the lineup. I think it spreads the offensive talent and also accounts for Elias' age.

I don't think Elias can sustain top 6 minutes with PP/PK time anymore.
