Should be a nice confidence boost for CJ. Hopefully he comes out like a house on fire and really shows his stuff.

I hope he gets middle 6 minutes and not wedged onto the 4th line or scratched. Scratch chumps like Sobotka or Sheary

Would be nice if management was in front of common sense not lagging behind the obvious until its nearly too late
Now lets see if Phil can handle it..

Is this too much to ask for with Smith on the roster? I struggle to find a more defensively capable checking line, unless Wilson can replace Sobotka eventually...idk...

Skinner-Eichel-Rodrigues
Smith-Sobotka-Reinhart
Sheary-Mittelstadt-Thompson
Girgensons-Larsson-Okposo
Scratch Pominville

He was given Rodrigues and Reinhart for his linemates. Time to prove he can score

Put Poms with Eichel, Erod replaces Sobotka

JWhite ripped him a new one this morning for waiting so long to do something.

I don't see swapping CJ Smith for Elie as something that's going to change the course of the season. Yeah, CJS is a better hockey player than Elie......but he's not going to magically change things and drive us to a playoff berth.

That's not the point I was making, but your certainly welcome to make it and I even agree with you.

Very true. But a good move nonetheless.

We need better goaltending, stronger defense and more scoring. I'm hoping an improvement in any one category will lead to improvements in the other two.
