Yeah, it's only been one game, but at least we know that he can skate and can hit the net with his shot.

That's what baffled me and him not playing. He can't be worse than Marincin!?! He wasn't. But yeah, just one game.. Hope they give him a run of a few games.
Thought he had a pretty good game considering he was playing for his hometown and hasn't played an NHL game in a long time.
I felt a few times he was chasing the play in his own end but overall was good.
Pretty baffled why he hasn't played up until now to be honest.
Our top 4 of Reilly, Hunwick, Gardiner and Phaneuf has pretty much stuck together since day one but Babcock has rotated a few guys in and out the bottom pairing. No idea why Corrado wasn't part of that rotation after his stint with the Marlies. Its not like Marincin or Polak have set the heather on fire.
I was thinking of this last night, and it maybe because he doesn't have natural chemistry/ doesn't fit in with the current D core. I think he needs to be paired with a more defensive defensemen (preferably LD). As you said they aren't going to take away Hunwick from Rielly and they like how Gardiner and Phaneuf have been playing.
There's no way Marincin plays with Corrado and Polak has more fits better than Marincin/Harrington.

During last nights game Millen made a comment that it had to do with overall conditioning. Perhaps Babcock wanted him at a certain level before he drew into the lineup. I don't know how he showed up to Vancouver's training camp.
He hit the gym during this time and practiced.

He looked pretty slow out there to be honest. Probably due to him not playing for such a long time. Definitely needs to get up to game speed.
Aside from that, it was refreshing to have RH d-man who can actually shoot. I would like to see him on the power-play, if he get's more chances.

if gardiner-franson worked pretty good, maybe gardiner-corrado could work?

Phaneuf even strength possession:
With Gardiner = 53 %
Without Gardiner = 44 %
Gardiner away from Phaneuf = 55 %
Yes I'd leave them together.
Is that this season? What's the sample?
He might've had very different usage "away from Gardiner" if you're including games other than this season.

Corrado will get his chance full time as a RH D when Polak is traded.
Then we can also call Harrington back up to assume a spot on the bottom pairing where he should actually be now.
Marincin would remain as a bad 7th D. Which one of our pro scouts thought it was a good idea to acquire this guy for a draft pick anyways?? BRUTAL!

Maybe Chicago needs to trade those players, I mean its not like they have won many times with good posession hockey.
Oh wait
I think Marincin has been playing better lately. He's starting to look like he might have something, but just is slower to get to that level. I expect to see him back in next game.

Marincin's possession stats were mediocre when he played for Edmonton. I don't think that was the reason they traded for him.

I certainly prefer Frankie Corrado to Marincin and wished FC could play more.
Marincin might be back in today verses LA because they're a big heavy team and Marincin size might be beneficial.

That's BS. I think he's all right for a bottom pair, needs to prove himself a bit more to get more playing time. I don't quite understand why babcock keeps putting marincin in because he sucks.
