Simple: Benn-Seguin-Radulov come to the bench. You select three players to replace them- who do you put on the ice to replace them?

I'd pretty easily throw Nichushkin-Spezza-Gurianov out there. Honorable mention to Dickinson and Shore

Kinda felt like voting Comeau-Hanzal-Ritchie just for the hell of it

 

[MBTendy]

Double shift please

 

[hairylikebear]

I have a newfound appreciation for how hard Jim Montgomery's job is.

 

[Troy McClure]

It's obvious. Ritchie-Hanzal-Comeau It's like a change up pitch. The other team won't know how to handle it.

But as was said, the real answer is it doesn't really matter. Pick Gurianov and the the two other guys who will be able to get back to the bench quickest to let the top line back on.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Guryanov and Nichushkin on the wing for sure. Both have been good getting pressure in the offensive zone lately. Nich with size and Gury with speed and push.

At center I have Dickinson over Shore. Spezza as a veteran between the young guys is a close 2nd.

 

[BfantZ]

Would like to see hintz and gury play together . I think that would take some pressure of both of them to try and set up benn , seguin , radulov etc . and allow them to just play there game .Those two played great together for Texas . Throw spezza or Dickinson between them .

It’s hilarious.. so much like the stock market. Expectations mean more than reality.

Why the ___ would anyone pick Nuke over Janmark?

Oh, Bc Janmark isn’t delivering to expectations and Nuke is.. Nuke is.. um..

 

[Blindsummit]

I choose MacKinnon, Rantanen and Landeskog

Besides, the correct answer is you call a timeout and throw the first line back out.

In a vacuum. Going of this season and this season alone.

Nichushkin makes a noticeable impact on most of his shifts, he gets pucks to the nets, he's hustling back into defensive position as well. He just isn't scoring, part of that is usage, a lot of it is him.

Janmark has produced more than Nichushkin, absolutely (albeit with significantly more ice time) but when he's not producing, which is quite often. 2 goals is more than 0 but its not like its something to write home about, but when he isn't producing he is doing 2 things. Nothing, or taking the puck up the wing, around the net in the offensive zone and turning it over. That's all he does game in and game out. without any prior knowledge of either player, coming in and watching both players I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who would take Janmark over Nichushkin, (again this year only with no prior knowledge of either player)
