I wonder if Wennberg can play on the blue line?

I wonder if Wennberg can play on the blue line?

I was wondering this myself earlier actually. Keep Stenlund up and put Wennberg on the point until we get Murray or Jones back.

 

[major major]

I would so try Wennberg on the blueline. He'd be great at it.

It just might work.

Werenski-Savard
Wennberg-Nutivaara
Kukan-Clendening

Everything not to see Harrington in the lineup.

I haven't watched any of the preseason this year, what's the deal with Prapavessis? Seems like we actually inked him to a 2 year ELC. He's been THAT impressive?

Yes he has IMO. I'm not sure of his NHL upside per se (mostly because I still don't feel like I have a clear picture of his ability with the puck - that and I'm historically poor at amateur scouting ) but what I have seen has been really encouraging. He strikes me as being very mobile and having surprisingly good instincts as to how to use that ability.

This is completely bat**** insane as a concept and yet I love it so.

​

I think him being only 22 out of college help too. Jarmo probably think he can develop him. if he was already 25 I don't think it would be the same story

I didn't mess with the forward lines, but that could also be interesting

Bread-PLD-Atkinson
Foligno-Nash-Bjorkstrand
Duclair-Stenlund-Anderson
Jenner-Dubinsky-Sedlak/Milano

or

Jenner-Stenlund-Duclair
Sedlak/Milano-Dubinsky-Anderson

if stenlund is in I wanna try him directly with bread and cam no compromise

What in Saint Prospal’s name makes y’all think Wennberg could actually play as a defenseman? Because he has the vision and passing ability?

Deadly slapshot

To me it's entirely serious as a long term proposition, or rather something you try out at some point to see if he could become a very good defenceman in the long term. In the short run, although we could use D help now, Wennberg likely has too much to learn in terms of gap management and footwork to be a good D man. It would take a while, months to years, to learn properly.

Long term, I think Wennberg has the instincts and the basic tools to be a very good defenceman. He is much more comfortable with the play in front of him, and that's part of why he isn't aggressive enough offensively. His defensive positioning is superb. The vision, the passing, the skating, all of that. He'd be a classic puck mover.

No freaking chance. Want Panarin to just quit?

 

[EspenK]

Brent Burns started as F.

should they hire jaques lemaire ? as special transition coach ?

I don't think his puck skills would disappoint Panarin. Those two connected on a sweet goal last game.

 

[Maylo]

Korostelev signed 1year AHL deal with Monsters, guess who is his agent.

Yep, pretty much this. The short term is why it's insane, the long term is why I love it.

He's a guy that struggled in the AHL last year to even score a single point. And you want to put him on the first line of the NHL? Really?

What the heck. We switched the Brads between O and D.....why not Wennberg?

We've seen weirder things tried and succeed in this league. It really wouldn't hurt to try it.

I'm really stunned I didn't get blasted for this idea! LOL
