Kapanen. Why send a guy down if he's your best option?
I'd choose Leivo with Matthews and Hyman to the 4th line if I could but that's never an option
Assuming Kapanen is sent down and they are both healthy enough to play, who gets the final spot in the forward group? I vote Leivo because he is a great depth scorer and we have Komarov, Boyle, Hyman and Brown available as PKers.
babs pretty much already picked, sosh has 56 games this year, if wasnt for injuries he maybe reaches 70, pretty much with the team the whole year, it comes down to what the coaches think the team needs more of
leivo
- better offensive player, better in the offensive zone
sosh
- better defensive player, better in neutral and defensive zone
- better speed, on forecheck and backcheck, more physical
- PKs
I vote Eric Fehr! haha. I like Kapanen-can kill penalties and provides better offence then Sosh although Sosh isn't bad. Lievo isn't a great option on the 4th line as he doesn't kill penalties. It's too bad really because Lievo has done nothing but put up points. It's a good problem to have but if they can't find a spot for Lievo they really need to move him.
Matt Martin doesn't kill penalties and doesn't exactly put up points. Maybe they should sit Martin? Idk not a huge fan of the 4th line. Boyle and Martin are limited offensively.
I'm curious what you're using to reference this. Sosh has points this year in the NHL...Kapanen does not (yet). I'm not denying you may be right, but that's a pretty bold statement to make when the numbers say otherwise right now.
For me it's Sosh > Kapanen > pylon > Leivo
I'll take Sosh too but pylon? WTF, Leivo has been great when he has played
