So they're gonna make the roster moves today or tomorow ? If there's practise today i don't think Kivi or Peterson could practise if they're still technically on the AHL roster.

 

[Captain Awesome]

It's a little weird that his graph there has the team ranked as 12th. His overall article where you got the first picture from has them ranked in 16th for expected win percentage. Maybe they're 12th in GSVA, but 16th when factoring in injuries?

 

[Satan]

I will put a request in the What's App group for Mr Nill to pull the trigger

 

[Magic Mittens]

Kravstov would be awesome. Wonder what NYR would want back

 

[BfantZ]

You guys want a young Russian who can’t crack the nyr lineup and is crying about it ?

[starsfan86]

Good opportunity for Peterson to step up. We’ll need his offense with Robertson being out of the lineup.

 

[Satan]

good bye Jake Oettinger

 

[WhoahNow]

So is this the likely starting lineup if everyone was healthy?

Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski
Peterson-Seguin-Radulov
Raffle-Benn-Gurianov
Kiviranta-Faksa-Comeau
Glendening

Lindell-Heiskanen
Suter-Klingberg
Sekera-Hankanpaa
Hanley

Holtby
Khudobin

Glendening isn't getting scratched, we're locked into that loser for 2 yrs.

 

[serp]

I don't think they're scratching Glendening . At least not to start the year. They specifically signed him because he wins alot of faceoffs. He'd have to massively underperform to get scratched and even then not sure.

I think Comeau sits. Age started to show with him last year and imho he was mostly re-signed for expansion draft purposes to fullfil the forward requirements

I’d rather dellandrea there than either of them . Faksa with 2 guys who can shoot could be a dangerous 4th line .

[MrHeiskanen]

Dellandrea? The invisible player at Traverse against junior players?

 

[M88K]

To the surprise of nobody, our best goalie is in the AHL.
Because Nill isn't happy if he isn't f***ing over a young player

 

[MrHeiskanen]

If we are talking about Oettinger not earning his spot, Dellandrea should be in the ECHL or second tier in Europe.

 

[BfantZ]

He wasn’t invisible during the pre season against pros. Traverse means nothing . Robertson was invisible there too .

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Kravtsov would be a good trade candidate. Could fit on a sheltered, offensive 3rd line. Gurianov-Benn-Kravtsov

 

[M88K]

He wasn’t invisible during the pre season against pros. Traverse means nothing . Robertson was invisible there too .

Huh?
He literally had 9p in 4gp and led the tournament in scoring

Did he really ? Where did you get those stats ? I remember being very underwhelmed and thinking he flat out sucked after the tournament .
