Stats-watching: Trenin sounds like he earned a look.
I think Trenin has been even more productive factoring in time, linemates, and situation. He gets my vote as well.
Hopefully you are right and he will- but it is just an unknown right now.

I'm a little surprised in that I figured Carr would get a little more time than that. But I guess realistically they've had a month now, including camp. I think we feared from the outset that he was going to prove to be a player who needs a top-6 role to produce, but probably isn't good enough to play top-6 in the NHL.
Calling up the hot hand from Milwaukee was something I was looking forward to. Just thought it might be a couple weeks later than this.
Trenin if they replace at the 3/4 line level. Tolvanen if they replace at the 1/2 line level and move Jarnkrok back.
Biggest question; is Tolvanen 1st line ready now?
I’d say no, not yet and go with Trenin.

In Trotz We Trust?
Trenin is a bull. He fit like a glove with Watson and Bonino.
If I had a choice:
Forsberg Duchene Granlund
Turris RyJo Arvy
Jarnkok Sissons Smith
Watson Bonino Trenin
What it will actually be closer to:
Forsberg Duchene Granlund
Jarnkrok RyJo Arvy
Sissons Bonino Smith
Watson Turris Trenin

The only Ads related transactions showing on the AHL webpage are a swap between the Ads and Everblades.
The question remains who is the proper winger to compliment Smith and Turris so that all of the generated chances start turning into goals. Trenin? Tolvanen? Let Josi be the forward he clearly dreams of being? Don't just think outside the box, don't accept the box exists.

Sure but if we are sending Carr down to Milwaukee we surely are calling up another forward to have as a healthy scratch.

Waived today means clearance announcement tomorrow ... then time to send him down. We might not se a roster move until they get back.

I'm liking the optics on a Daley-Turris trade right now. Daley is nearly finished. But he might be a useful element for one last year in terms of solidifying our bottom pair. And right now, that's an actual need for us. And Detroit seems to be one of the few teams who might actually have some basis for interest in Turris. It is wishful thinking and all. But if Turris can't play the 2LW spot for us, this might actually help us more.

Here's an observation; Can Turris play 3rd line center and activate Smith? You got:
Forsberg-Duchene-Granlund (so far, so great)
Jarnkrok-Johansen-Arvidsson (J.A. for offense, Jarnkrok for everything else)
We neuter Hook but this line needs a LW shooter or Johansen to shoot more. Also, they need a LW defensively responsible. Defensively, Hook fills that role.
A third line of *LW to be named later*-Turris-Smith would be awesome.

Tolvanen could be a finisher. I'm not sure if the rest of his game is ready, but his shot is.

The catch seems to be that NHL coaches like to have a heavier "shutdown" line as well. So if our top-2 lines are soaking up the best ice-time, the coach is going to turn to guys like Bonino, Sissons, Watson, etc for the next pile of minutes. Turris just seems to be left shivering in the cold if that's the mindset. It seems to be the case so far anyway.

We ran Carr-Turris-Smith the last two games and that line wasn't particularly effective. Maybe you could put some of that on Carr, but I guess we will see. I really just don't think Turris and Smith play that well together despite the fact that they had such great success right after we acquired Turris.

Hey! You suck!
Turris needs a play maker type on his line I think for it to really do much. Him and Smith both tend to be shooters.
