Hell no Schenn sucksI'd take Schenn, who is on waivers, over Marincin.

He looks alot better than last yr so far.Can someone explain to me why Marincin is in our top 6? I can see a ton of hockey reasons why he should not be. But I must be missing something BIG here. What is it that Babs likes here? What can he do which any one of the other guys can't do? Quite frankly I have not understood this guy from day 1. And I totally get why Oilers cut him.
Actually.. I could be wrong, but he wasn't cut. We traded Brad Ross for him I'm pretty sure (the guy who was supposed to be a Darcy Tucker type and didn't end up being anything). As for why Marincin has the #6 spot? Nobody else looked any more deserving of the spot to be fair. Luckily Sandin impressed or the bottom pairing would be really scaryCan someone explain to me why Marincin is in our top 6? I can see a ton of hockey reasons why he should not be.

He did a decent job in Vancouver, especially paired with Hughes.Hell no Schenn sucks
I don't think the Marincin experiment will last more than a few games.
I would much rather have given Holl a shot on the right side with Sandin.
Dermott played right D the last 25ish games + playoffsDermott doesn't do RD, they put him there for a little last year and he sucked. Sandin doesn't do RD either and so it would go, when Dermott is back, Sandin is going down. Lilj is staying up and Holl will be waived.

Yes Muzzin created an extra need for a right side defenceman. And what Babs has said (which is true), the D-man that makes plays should be on his strong side. Ie Rielly-Hainsey. In that pairing it was Gardiner-Dermott. Both puck movers. I agree it's not ideal for Dermott. Nor would it be ideal for Sandin. But you gotta ice your best 6 imo. Plenty of other teams in the NHL without perfect lefty righty balance. When Dermott is back I take him or Sandin on the right over Marincin playing there (who is also on his off side, just with a lot of experience on the right)Yeah he sucked. It was because of Muzzin I beleive, really didn't like it at all, he wasn't at all effective like his normal self

I think he finally feels confident with Babs as the coach and it showed in the preseason. He earned his roster spot. I like his game when he is played with a good puck moving D men. He played well with Rielly a long while back.He’s had a good camp, credit is due. But I think it won’t take long for him to show his true colours
