Not that Simmer deserves it, but what if we rolled something like this?
G – Coots – TK
Simmer – Patrick – Vora
Weal – Flip - Raffl
Lindblom – Laughts - Read

And this is not a knock on Lindblom. I love him. Just may work better with what we have/need right now.

Cant accept passes on his backhand smoothly so he limits our zone entry options.
Good point. Can Jake? Has Jake ever tried LW? They could both use a wakening...options seem slim and something needs to get them going.

I'm trying not to focus on the Goaltending because that topic just infuriates me.

Jake has played a lot of LW here. He could handle that switch no problem.
