Congrats on making the team Anton Slepyshev

Thank you MacT for Slepyshev!

 

[Gretzky to Kurri]

Ha ha..... Well that is just my take. It is possible it could be just a grade one AC seperation.... You'd have your arm in a sling regardless. Or even just a strain.
Just positive thinkin.

 

[McIce Whole]

Even with Ebs out, we don't need to keep Slepy on the roster. Klink can play on the fourth line RW. Yak, Purcell and Korps can make up for the other 3 spots.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

That's the crappy thing with pre-season. Hopefully it's no more than 6 weeks.

This is brutal. I hope it's not too serious and he makes a quick recovery.

I wonder what kind of shape Michael Ryder is in?

We don't need another freaking winger.

Weren't we just talking about how Eberle has been a lot more durable than our lotto picks? I feel like we jinxed him somehow

Didn't see the game today but looking at the boxscore the first thing I noticed (after I recovered from a mini Lander induced stroke) was 3:26 TOI for Eberle, and my heart just sank.

Speedy recover please Eberle. This was going to be your year to get forty.

Even though we lost the 16th best goal scorer 102G and 13th best point getter 241 PT since 11-12.

We can send down Slepyshev one of 10 18yr old .20 EVGPG russians in RSL/KHL last 20 years.

The only winger that we need is the type that plays the style of Lucic.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Poo Rnh Purcell
Hall mcdavid Drai
Slep lander yak
Klink letestu Hendricks

That's what I'd go with is ebs is out for a while.

Ok then, if Eberle's out for a while, not really sure what the plan is, hoping it's goes well?

 

[Jumptheshark]

For me Lander gets a shot at top 6 minutes--he can play all 3 fw positions

Drai, Yak, Purcell all right wingers that can play in the top 6. All better players then Ryder.

Is Eberle really the 16th best goal scorer since 11/12?
I've been a huge supporter of Eberle, and I don't think I would have put him inside the top twenty if I had to guess.
Amazing stat if true. Makes it even more puzzling to still find people who think we don't need this player.

Nugent Hopkins has never really played well without Eberle. That's what kinda scares me about this.

I disagree. Nuge plays well with anybody, but may not produce at the same level.

If he does, I've never really been impressed by it.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

separated shoulder is my guess...hopefully not too bad and he's only gone 2 months

and let's hope he doesn't the the "Hall-RNH Surgery Special"

It seems contagious.

 

[Paralyzer008]

My guess is he's gonna be out for 6-10 weeks.

That would project a return anywhere from mid-November to early December, depending on strength levels.

That's at least 15 GP, with the possibility it goes all the way to 25-30 GP.

 

[Soundwave]

Hall + McDavid doesn't really seem to be working that great either. I'd give it a couple of games still, but if not, I'd rotate back to

Hall RNH Pouliot
Draisaitl McDavid Yakupov - live with the mistakes
Korpi Lander Slepy
Klink Letestu Hendricks

 

[Bangers]

If he hadn't made the team already, I'm guessing this solidifies Leon's spot on the roster.

Pou - Nuge - Yak
Hall - McD - Drai
Korpse - Lander - Purcell
Hendo - Letestu - Klink

Yes cause that's what I was implying. I'm more focused on Slepy's development. Slepy is the better player but if he is better served starting in the A, then why not? Slepy won't be replacing Eberle's goals either and lol at you for thinking that . The team collectively will have to do that. Guys like Yak, Purcell, Drai will have to produce more.

I'm a fan of Slepy but I don't want to rush his development. He's done well in preseason but I want to do what's best for his development.

Hall - Mcdavid - Drai
Pouliot - RNH - Yak
Korps - Lander - Purcell
Hendricks - Letestu - Klink

at this point, that line up works fine. I don't mind having Slepy start but if sending him down to the A is what's best for his development, then so be it. We have Klink that can slide in on the fourth line and everyone else slides one spot up. That's what my initial point was.
