Is Karlsson now Derek Zoolander?Do we know if Karlsson can turn left yet?
Ceci and phaneuf simply look better apart.Good job by Chabot on this callup. I am glad he had some success and got the opportunities to show off his more positive attributes.
Oduya Karlsson
Phaneuf Ceci
Claesson Wideman
Boro or some variation of this...
Oduya will be gone by next year
Claesson looks like a keeper... I prefer him on the left side
Boro has been somewhere between acceptable and good this year but I think he has to be / should be the 7th D
Wideman likely is moved or walks as a UFA
If they could move Phaneuf in the off season it would really help the $
next year maybe we see
Chabot Karlsson
Claesson Ceci
Phaneuf Jaros
Boro
move him ... be my guestCeci and phaneuf simply look better apart.
I think it will be claessen ceci. Especially seeing how much Boucher trusted claessen last couple games.move him ... be my guest
I would have thought it crazy a year ago, but Phaneuf and Karlsson could work.
Guess this means Brown is more likely here to stay but who would be our first forward called up now Mccormick LW, Blunden Rw and Chlapik at centre?
Brown can play up to 9 games before burning a year of his ELC. White will be back in a few weeks at most. I think it'll become more apparent what will happen with Brown once White returns, but I don't think Brown not being sent down with Formenton today means he is with the team full time from this point on. (My apologies if you weren't implying that)
Brown will be sent back to Windsor ... He may see more action but he'll go back by the end of the month one way or another.Guess this means Brown is more likely here to stay but who would be our first forward called up now Mccormick LW, Blunden Rw and Chlapik at centre?
With three giys in the AHL that all look like NHL caliber dmen we should be looking to trade someone. Chabot should be back soon enough.Yep, this was the most likely outcome of everyone getting healthy.
Look forward to Chabot logging a crap-ton of minutes in the AHL and bringing some fire with him when we call him up later in the season and into the playoffs.
My concern with Phaneuf - Karlsson is that Phaneuf's limitations make it hard for him to get back. Kind of, "setting him up to fail" by playing so much ES and OZ minutes.I would have thought it crazy a year ago, but Phaneuf and Karlsson could work.
Dion is playing a much more conservative game these days but still physical. He did pinch recently and it resulted in a fine goal.
He may be the guy who is the most like Methot on the team, but he also has a shot that EK could make use of.
The worry with him coming into Ottawa was his need to make game-breaking plays that put him out of position, and his lack of speed.
But so far this season, it was commented that he almost looks lazy because he's playing more reserved.
A conservative enough Phaneuf could potentially play shotgun to Karlsson, who himself is improving every season.
Phaneuf-Karlsson
Claesson-Ceci
Oduya-Wideman/Borowiecki
As far as pairings go, they don't look bad.
Ceci and Claesson have both been making a lot of plays this season, e.g. pinching, rushing the puck out of the zone, or standing up at the line, so they'll have to find some kind of rhythm to ensure that they aren't sacrificing too much D.
