The last few games are good illustrations of why you protect your young guys from hard minutes and you don't play your third liners up the line up for more than a game or two.

0 goals, 2 assists, 2 points in his last 8 games.
44 points in 61 games this year, which does lead the team I have to add but...
#1C on this team? yeah. sure.
#1C on any other team in a playoff spot? nope.

At least I get now why we are after Martinez. Nuti is not a first pair guy and the third pairing is not convincing

not to mention his amazingggggg faceoff numbers. (sarcasm). 45 percent this year. 44 percent for his career. sickening.
when he's 'cold', he appears to be the most lazy person on the ice. takes some of the most careless penalties I've ever saw. reminds me a lot of RyJo actually (towards the end of his time in Columbus).

My take on the forwards tonight is Bjorkstrand looks like the only NHL player on the ice for the Jackets....and not just because he scored.
There’s no one to sell, they are all hurt
Eric Robinson has 1 goal in his last 27 games. Cool contract!

one thing I did like about the final 15 seconds just now (aside from the game finally ending) was Boone's willingness to play til the horn. unlike PLD, Boone refuses to give anything less than 100 percent even if his 100 percent isn't anything special.
onto the next one. when the puck drops thursday night, we will be on the outside looking in, when it comes to the playoff picture.
goodnight all.

I was complaining they gave him a one-way and will continue to do so. The dollars good, the basically designating a roster spot to him? Nope.

I think this is harsh. He’s had a rough go recently, but he is absolutely a 1C, albeit a low end one right now.

name one team in the eastern conference that's currently in a playoff spot that PLD would be the #1C.

I didn't fight you on that point. But you're making it seem like he's not a #1 center because of this tough stretch. PLD, much like the rest of the roster, has fallen back to the norm or what would be expected out of a half AHL roster.
Teams are focusing him, and he hasn't done himself many favors either.
While you point to PLD's ineffectiveness, his output is still better than Foligno and Nyquist, who play just as much as him and make far more.

They’re not designating a roster spot to him any more than they designated one to Hannikanen. Robinson’s contract is like #73 on the list of things to complain about.
No kidding. Nutivaara is a 3rd pairing guy but having Jones/Murray/Kukan out forces the move. Trading for Martinez is dumb and a complete overreaction to 1 injury. This isn’t a playoff team and giving up assets for a player who doesn’t fill a need long term is stupid.
Thankfully it won’t matter since he’s going to Vegas.

just have to point out that after tonight's game, PLD averages more ice time than Gus.

What are Nyquist's strengths? I am not a big enough hockey fan to know him prior to joining this team and from watching him for a while now I don't know what he brings. Is he an open ice guy and our defense first structure is stymieing him, what? I really don't know.
