I thought Erne and Brome were two of the hardest workers out there, both games. Like you said, if he maintains, he might stick.

They know they're on the bubble.... Helm will be back soon.
Will be interesting to see who winds up sitting.

That actually makes sense since Helm, Flip, and possibly LGD won't be with the team next season. We'll need him as a PKer.
Certainly makes more sense than Mantha killing penalties.... I said it would impact his ES play. We need Mantha expending his energy on creating offense, not doing PK.

Ideally in the future, our skilled 2-way Top 6 doesn't PK at all. While our semi-skilled, 2-way 3L does + a few physical 4th liners with defensive acumen.
I always hated when Brett Hull was on the PK, it was just so odd, but who am I to question Scotty, he has more cup rings than I do.
I'm sure Larionov took some PK shifts once in a bluemoon as needed, but I don't recall him being a PK regular at all. He's another that, as smart & positionally sound as he was, was too important to our attack to have out there blocking shots etc.

Brome better step his game up while guys are out.
Right now his advanced stats look pretty awful.
To be honest, there's only one play that stands out I can immediately recall. Wins board battle, steps out front and whistles a shot off the bar.
For a bigger, older rookie, he seems a little weak on his skates.

Couldn't agree more. I doubt that's what will happen, but it's what I'd want to see

He's already shown more puck skills than Ehn did in 114 games, and he's stuck playing with players with no offense. Not to mention he's played 3 NHL games....
Quite frankly, the Red WIngs scoring has been all Ryan and Larkin. No secondary scoring at all, and that needs to change. The big issue is Blashill's "system" which apparently has no transition.
I have felt Brome has looked good and past the eye test for the most part. Seems to battle hard and have good speed. I understand asking for some offence but he has basically been used with our 3rd and 4th line plugs so im not sure how much production we could really expect. His time on ice has gone up every game which shows he is earning trust of the coaches which should eventually translate into some offensive opportunities. In game 1 he was sent out as the extra attacker with the Larkin line while the goalie is pulled. If he keeps it up I except he will see more and more opportunities.
hopefully when we see Helm get into the lineup (and Fabbri returns to the second line) ......we can see a 3rd line of: Brome-Rasmussen-Namestinov 4th: Helm-Glendening-Erne
Filpula simply looks weak on the puck and it’s time to play Ras and see what he can bring (as well as contribute on the second Pp)
Brome would benefit greatly in this lineup with a versatile playmaker and a net front guy

Brome himself has playmaker in him. He'll need a scorer and netfront. Would be interesting to see him with Ras and Zadina.
Bert - Lark - Mantha
Fabbri - Flip - Ryan
Brome - Ras - Zadina
This would look balanced and deepest possible offensive lines.

Flip does not belong on the second line in any capacity, I would honestly play LGD over him at this point. Plus I think Zadina will learn a lot from Ryan. The old man knows how to score.

The 3rd line last night looked pretty decent.
Bertuzzi - Glendening - Brome
I was happy with their cycle and corner game. They were pretty tenacious in all 3 zones. I'd like to keep that together for a few games to see them get some chemistry together.
Now if only we could get someone like Givani Smith on the 4th line regularly we could have a pretty scrappy bottom 6 that makes life for the opponents tough.
Erne - Helm - Smith
Bertuzzi - Glendening - Brome

Nah, I like us splitting things up
Ryan-Larkin-Zadina
Mantha-Rasmuesson-Namistikov
Bert-Fabbri-Brome
Glendenning-Helm-Gagner/Fil

Watch the games instead of only the advanced stats. Brome has been good, my dude.

That would be so dumb. Ras needs to be in the NHL.
Brome is looking like a center piece for a 3rd line. We need more talent there and we may have a decent 3rd line. Nametsnikov, Rasmussen and Brome sound pretty good.
