Hopefully Lemieux plays well again
It's unlikely he plays unless someone else is hurt/sick

I think the Jet's will play Armia and Lemieux in place of Mathias, and I think the Jet's will believe they will get 110% effort from these guys, as they were traded by Buffalo, and "will have something to prove." Effort and desire wins hockey games !!!
Maybe also -- the Jet's would like to rub that trade in Buffalo's face.
_______________________________________________________Obviously Armia will play. He's a regular in the lineup. Lemieux was called up to be an extra forward. Not to be inserted into the lineup. He plays only if Lowry and one other forward can't

I think Lemieux will play -- but you may be right. Armia of course will play, and I hope he scores a couple of goals. The guy is playing really well.
2 things. why would the jets want to rub it in buffalo's face. and 2nd why would Lemieux have something to prove to buffalo who didn't want to sign there and got want he wanted when they traded him._________________________________________________________

Maurice made it pretty clear, until Mathias or Dano give him a reason to take them out, he won’t take them out.
So if neither play poorly, it’s a toss between Lowry not being able to go tomorrow and Roslovic sitting, which makes little sense, or someone else having an injury.
Maybe he sees a game this weekend, but definitely not tomorrow’s game

Buffalo don't send him anywhere if he isn't signed to Buffalo. Buffalo has absolutely no say on his career unless he is under contract to them.________________________________________________________
Well FFH -- why would Lemieux have something to prove ??? answer is Buffalo did not think he was good enough to sign him to a contract, and sent him down to Barrie. Apparently Lemieux thought he should have made the team, as he thought Buffalo didn't have much. This was according to an article I read.
You are shopping Matthias so you sit him?
Who do you believe Matthias is being shopped to? Not sure their are many teams interested in picking up a 1/2 year of his $2.125 M salary for basically a 4th line/PB guy. Maybe he goes right at the TD with some salary retention and not much of a return.I think Dano being benched yesterday means he doesnt play and Matthias is being shopped.. So i see a scenario where.. Lemieux Hendricks Roslo 4th line is possible.

He also hinted that Roslovic might play even if Lowry is back. I took his comments to mean it will be a difficult choice
I took it more as Maurice not wanting to discourage Roslo by outright saying there's no way he's going to straight play his way onto the team this season

That's a thing for fans not management. GM's try to maintain positive relationships with one another. It helps next time you need to make a trade.
