*** Lets keep the trade talk to the trade threads. Day to day line up and roster talk here please ***
I have to give credit to Sully, ha made some changes to the lineup already, so there's hope he does the same when Peeling/Bonino returns.
So Poehling out in regular jersey for the skate but not in line rushes so probably still not playing…Kulikov absent…

If you have to describe Bonino you basically have all the attributes Carter brings. PK, face-off, veteran etc. I can see him running a 4th line of Poehling - Bonino - Archibald. Poehling and Archibald bring decent speed and Bonino is what he is. I think this line could work in the playoffs.I’m skeptical about him scratching Carter because Carter PKs and Sullivan elevates PKing over everything else for bottom sixers lol…between that and FOs and his veteran status, I fear Carter’s replacement level job is safe lol…it wouldn’t surprise me to see Sullivan ice the slowest fourth line in the league if/when everyone is healthy — Poehling-Bonino-Carter
FIFYI know that Nylander will just get pitched out of the lineup..but man i hope Sullivan just removes Carter for Poehling.
Carter coming out of the lineup is 0%. Play the odds. Heinen is the only one aside from DOC due to his age haha.FIFY
Yes, we have to stab ourselves in the foot before we start playing every hockey game, and give ourselves every competitive disadvantage, by icing Carter for 82 games…lord knows we don’t have enough problems, such as playing defense, lack of finishing, inconsistent goaltending…it’s nice that we can add Carter to the mix lolCarter coming out of the lineup is 0%.

Believe that would be a much better matchup anyway but an injured Svech would be icing on the cake.I was playing around with the standings a little bit and I wouldn't be surprised if we finish 3rd in the division ahead of the Rangers. 1st place going to the Devils and 2nd to the Canes. That would be a decent matchup for the Pens especially if Svechnikov is out for the Canes.
Lol…Bonino and Kulikov probably out until the POs…not really upset about it as I didn’t really think they were gonna help us all that much…just depthNow Kulikov is week to week. Sick deadline moves.
To be fair the deal was basically a 3rd attached to McGinns collar. Kulikov was just tossed in. We all want POJ anyway.Now Kulikov is week to week. Sick deadline moves.
I’d probably take Carter of Archi.
Bonino - Poehling - Carter
I like Kulikov as as depth option. I just like POJ better overall. He needs to learn how to line people up better, and improve his physicality. The timing/positioning will come with experience. Wonder how POJ - Kulikov would do together.To be fair the deal was basically a 3rd attached to McGinns collar. Kulikov was just tossed in. We all want POJ anyway.
Carter is a glue guy and a stanley cup champion, yet you guys want him benched?
