We are losing games we can't afford to lose. We blink and could be 13th in the conference in an instant.
Sure at this point why not. He's young, he can play physical and still somehow get the puck in the net. Really that's not a bad idea.
Wagner is an energy player, not a skill player. If you start to give him more ice time with skilled guys, he'll get exposed. He's perfect where he is.I agree, the kid finishes every check, drives the net and has speed. 15 games and 4 goals in very limited minutes tells me he should get more ice time, but Roy likes to pigeon hole guys, so he won't.
I agree. It might look good for a game or two but just like Martinsen on that line it's not a good solution for a longer term.Wagner is an energy player, not a skill player. If you start to give him more ice time with skilled guys, he'll get exposed. He's perfect where he is.
However that would require scratching Martinsen or Tanguay, because you'd still need Greg to play between Tanguay/Marty and Iginla.

I love what Wagner brings to the 4th line, but the guy has taken only 15 shots, and yet 4 of them have managed to go in. He's shooting 27% with the Avs. That's not going to keep up.
Luck plays a major role in it. Grigorenko got robbed last week by both Rinne and Crawford. If those go in and nether goalie makes a ridiculous save, Wagner might not even be in the lineup right now.
The solution isn't to put grinders with skill players. Put Grigorenko with top 6 players and he'll produce, like he has every time he's been up there. Get Rantanen up here and we'll look a lot better up front.

...If only we had a second Comeau
You want more than one and I'm not even sure I want one of them. Funny how opinions can vary so widely.
