Pre-Game Talk: OFFICIAL: Nylander will make season debut vs. Detroit

Sounds like Johnsson is going to get the raw end of the deal in this

 

[ACC1224]

Nah, get the big home town cheer.

He would be intimidated in Boston by both the crowd and the Bruins as a first start

True enough. Perhaps they don't even mind seeing him get a bit of a tough time.
It'll all blow over soon enough. My next game isn't until Jan 3, so I'll miss out on it.

I see this happening, with Willy on the Kadri line for the 1st period, or half the game, before sliding him into his old position.

Just wish we could see Kapanen or Johnsson on the 1st line too, at least for remainder of the month to see how things pan out, now that we got the full squad back.

Either way, I am so happy that our daily dilemma is discussions on line juggling.

Why? I don't wanna see Kappy on the Matthews line. not until after the season and he signs a contract lol.

Matthews will inflate his number and we would be screwed.

He's fine on the Kadri line.

Do the "suits" even know that there was a holdout?

i highly doubt babcock will put either kapanen or johnsson with matthews/nylander line. it will be marleau IMO cause if the line over-exceeds expectations with either kapanen or johnsson, we're screwed. we have another rfa that will ask for more money in a year where we need to sign matthews and marner.

once both kapanen and johnsson are signed to reasonable long term deals, they'll be put into the top 6 by babcock to rip the rest of the leagues to shreds.

I really dont expect too much from Willie and his line. The games are getting gritty and the intensity is picking up, so its impossible to think he can step in and have his timing and legs.
