I wouldn't be surprised to see carrick and dermott together when Z returns.
I think most people forget that he's a new father too this year and that I a huge change on the home front and a big possibility as to why his play has been iffy this year
Tims not ready yet. Holl may be but he's not better than carrick is playing right nowWould love to get a look at Liljegren and Holl before the end of the year.
Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Liljegren
Dermott - Holl
Ya we came to that conclusion and we would slot Z in with dermott to see if he can find his game againI would, Polak will play over Carrick.

I guess this means worst case Andersen will be the backup.Babcock not sure if Freddie is in or not. In tough without Auston, Leo, Zaitsev and possibly Freddie.
But Holl is goal per game D man???Tims not ready yet. Holl may be but he's not better than carrick is playing right now
Hmmm maybe a coffee or a snickers?What, now I need to read the whole thread before making an opinion?!
Nonsense.....jump right in with whatever pops into your head..........don't even think it through.What, now I need to read the whole thread before making an opinion?!

You quote me I answer you and thats your retort? My answer actually saves you from reading the rest of the thread.
I always find it odd how people seem to think Holl is some young prospect with tons of room left to grow when chances are he is a career AHLer.Uh Zaitsev?
Lets not pretend Holl is a kid. Hes basically the same age as Zaitsev (26) and has 2 NHL games to his name. Despite Z's poor play of late hes proven far more then Holl.
Dermott has so mojo flowing now so hopefully he could stabilize Z until he finds his game? But I agree if he doesn't I would rather carrick back in
My bad and my apologies. ya I didnt catch it.I was kidding, sorry I thought it was clear.
Uh Zaitsev?

Well we can just play him up and down the line up!Dermott has been better than even i thought he'd be so if Zaitsev can't look good beside him with weaker competition I'm out of ideas on how we turn him around this season
On that note the Lightning are a speedy team and Dermott getting some time beside Gardiner would be a good idea because I think he'll handle that better than Polak, even if it's just 5-7 extra minutes
Well we can just play him up and down the line up!
I'm confident Z will turn it around but not sure if it will be this season
I have noticed his minutes slowly creeping up so I think they are already planing for itI've got some doubts about him turning around this season as well, I'd give him 5-6 games in a row beside Dermott and if he can't work it out by then I'd roll this lineup in the playoffs
I'd be feeding Dermott minutes now to, start preparing him for a big roll in the playoffs if Zaitsev can't get up to speed and we need him 20+ against the quicker teams that Polak and Hainsey might struggle with
