He's super effective when it comes to leadership and grinding. Sadly I see the guy getting a big contract in the off-season from another team.
Don't worry, Chevy will match it

Hendricks has exceeded expectations, yet he is someone who I see as being replaced at the trade deadline.
I really think that's all that we want out of Mo on these odd choices - a little bit of sensibility. Sure Hendricks seems to be fitting in Ok on that 4th line, but does he need to be on the ice every game..... playing 5 mins + change. Why can't he sit once every 4-5 games & let some of the PB guys take a twirl (as in Dano rather than sitting the guy for 20 games straight). Just keep getting the same down the throat business with Hendy that we got with Thorbs and Stu.Its not like he needs to play every game to be in the 'room'. Players not dressed for the game don't get sent out of town.

Dano and Hendricks don't play the same position?....

We've got a lot of centre/wingers though. Not hard to make it work

I can see why a lot of the Edmonton players say the Oilers should not have let him go--the guy gives it 100% effort. You've gotta give him credit.
No chance that he’ll ever get us a short handed goal, but I’d rather have him block shots than Wheeler or Scheifele.
If anyone gets a chance to watch jets hockey live, watch the bench after Tanev or Hendricks blocks a shot. Also the Jet coming out of the penalty box. The players really appreciate what these guys do.
Watch, he will now get a shortie against Buffalo tonight

There are enough bottom 6 players who play multiple positions that a rotation would be easily managed.
It's funny how last year Pomo was criticized for changing the lines too much and now this year he's criticized for not changing them enough.
Agree with the bold.
I'd rather one of ours had the puck though. Then nobody needs to block shots. The PK is working well using the 5 goalie system so that probably isn't an option. So we are back to your statement. Definitely better Hendricks blocking shots than Wheeler or Scheifele.
That's generally how you get the puck on the PK, block shots and get sticks in passing lanes.
That's one way. It is certainly the way with our 5 goalie PK. I don't think it is the only way.
Hard to complain about our PK lately. It has been working effectively, and long enough to be more than just variance. It still looks like **** and is taking years off my life but it is managing to get the job done.
I have no idea what you're talking about man. 5 goalie PK? are you saying there is a PK in the NHL that dominates control of the puck while one man down? If so show me an example

How many more/fewer points would Jets have if it was Thorburn instead of Hendricks?
How many more/less points would they have with petan instead of Hendricks?
