If you can't bust out goals against the Dallas Stars who you gonna call?
Weird lines, granted, but evidence of the incomplete lineup that Chia left us with this year.
I mean we got guys like Khaira in the lineup. That should be an injury only call up if you can't find anybody considerably better. Cagg has been a big bag of nothing. I see that he's giving Strome at Center a chance here but probably lasts for a few minutes.. not much of a chance considering he has Cagg on wing.
Letestu on 2nd line seems a natural indication that the line needs more help in a shutdown capacity. But also odd as Chia got Jokinen, and maybe even Strome to see if they could help with that. Do we got a GM vs Coach disconnect already. I would say McLellan already scratching Jokinen and Strome is indication of that.
I must've missed it but the good news is Yamamoto must have been sent down. its better development for him that way.
But my lord, Khaira a starter in an NHL lineup. Indication your GM was asleep during the summer and didn't bother to find a few extra NHL players.
