Scott Gomez needs to go...
Icing MDC over Johnston doesn’t guarantee a winI'm fine with MDC getting back into the lineup but Johnston had zero effect on the loss, NONE. Leddy playing like a beer league guy and lets a 4th liner school him and a joke of a PP were the reasons we lost. And let's not pretend that MDC has been dominating play when he's in. He's played well but has he driven play and been the reason we've won, I'd say no.

You’re right Johnston had 0 effect on the game today in his what 6 minutes of ice time . Dal colle might’ve
Dal Colle averages 10 min in his 7 games, with 1 point. Johnston has 3 points in his 13 games. So Johnston has more points per games than MDC in less TOI.
can someone check what our % (Wins/Loss) is when Sbisa is on the roster?
So based on that Johnston is the more effective player... really?
Eberle creates chances for sure and has looked good but he is 100% replaceable by JHS, if he is still around past the deadline it will be a shame.
Nope, Trotz is running this current version since Brock replaced Bailey on PP1. Running the PP in Washington with Brock in Ovi’s spot.Scott Gomez
Are you sure about that? If that's the case, why during the timeout it was Gomez who gave his instructions to the players before the 5 on 3? Maybe Gomez is just a parrot and repeats Trotz's orders to the players?Nope, Trotz is running this current version since Brock replaced Bailey on PP1.

It’s hard for me to comprehend how Sbisa continues to have a job in the NHL.
At this point in their career, the difference between the two is negligible
While the may be factually true, I’d argue that Dal Colle is the one with the higher upside going forward, and Dal Colle was ready to bust out. He creating multiple scoring chances by himself against Toronto and Chicago most notably.
Honestly with Lightnings speed they need to counter that with the best skaters they have in the system. That means Ho Sang just for this team to have a fighting chance.I agree going forward, my point is today. Johnston almost had a nice deflection in today, if that goes in, we aren't having this discussion.
My whole point is Trotz knows what he's doing and nobody can claim this was an egregious mistake as some are making this out to be. I think he played a hunch that it was going to be a dirty game so he went with the tougher player withour losing that much NHL level offense. I'm sure MDC will be back tomorrow, and I'm glad he will be, as we need to develop him into a scorer.

I wouldn't count on that. I didn't watch the BP game last night but saw alot of comments on Twitter saying JHS was terrible defensively, and that's at the AHL level, imagine what the best NHL team would do with that.
He's got the tools offensively (playmaking-wise), but until he commits himself consistently in all 3 zones, it's gonna be difficult to get NHL coaches to trust him.
That's him pouting. He can play defense at the AHL level he chose not to apparently. This kid could be done with his career if this be the case. Tired of his nonsense. But, yep, the team IS better with him in the line-up. Can't send him down, can't keep him up. What do you do with this kid?
