Almost certainly.I have a feeling Dowd will end the season on the third line with Panik and Hagelin/Vrana. Is it only me?

Too many variables. Try somethings easier. Like Ovy will score some goals, or Wilson will hit someone.I have a feeling Dowd will end the season on the third line with Panik and Hagelin/Vrana. Is it only me?
Caps, Rags and Devils in Metro.Really hope Gusev isn't another Shipachyov... A team with Hall, Hughes, Gusev, Hischier and Subban could be a lot of fun to watch.

Looks like Pens is gonna miss Play-Offs.

I wouldn't hold your breathe. Crosby, Kristopher Letang, and Malkin will be enough to get them over the hump.
I hope he fails spectacularly as he is in the Caps division.

I'm still confused why Vegas didn't make room for him.
One of the reason might be because of his softness. Great addition when you want to make playoffs, but it's not Knights problem.
Gusev is almost a sure thing to be an impact top 6 forward IMO. He's been arguably better than Panarin was in the KHL and there's no reason to think his success won't translate to the NHL.

Isn't his skating said to be a potential issue for a guy his size?Gusev is almost a sure thing to be an impact top 6 forward IMO. He's been arguably better than Panarin was in the KHL and there's no reason to think his success won't translate to the NHL.

Sure. Maybe 'They' did the same with:Maybe because they got to know the player?
You're absolutely not. 55 points should be easy for him.I might be higher on him than most but I’d be shocked if Gusev isn’t a 55+ point player in NJ. Those don’t grow on trees.
You have to have a coach with generational leadership skills like T to have many russian stars on your team.You're absolutely not. 55 points should be easy for him.
P.S. I'd love to have him on Caps tbh. With so many Russians in the team, Caps could easily get gems from KHL with discounts.
I think any great leader in locker room will do the job.You have to have a coach with generational leadership skills like T to have many russian stars on your team.
Yea, pretty clear that the roster had a hole in it. No contingency plan for one of the top 4 left d going down. They had no answer for Kempny being out. Had they had the bite of the season before or had Oshie been there for to bring and inspire some bite, they would have won the first round. Its also true that Kuzy could have carried them to a win they didn't get. Same is true of Holtby.
Djoos was the chosen one, while Siggy our best bet as a 2LD fill in was stuck in the minors. Djoos's severe injury likely slowed him but then maybe he should have been shelved longer.
Carlson at LD was a disaster as was Djoos anywhere. Todd really fumbled the D. A cup grade team should be able to survive one injury on D. Just 1 injury.
I think Holts saw holes in the D and it put too much pressure on him and knocked him off his game, if even just a tad. A tad is what decides playoff games.
Holts has been off his game for 90% of the last two seasons... I think this is his game now.
