What do we do? He's going to be out for awhile I would bet.

Which kid would you call up?

Do you dare trust Weber or Kaberle?

What would your pairings be?

I think we need to break up Gorges-Subban and put one of them with Markov above all.

I liked Tinordi most of the three prospects that got an audition. Maybe try out St-Denis too (unless he's injured?).

Depends what you want... With Drewiskie being a defensive d-man, if you want to replace Diaz I think Beaulieu gets the call up.

It's tough. Drewiske is only useful on the bottom pairing because otherwise you start seeing mistakes like Spacek did towards the end.

I would probably get Beaulieu and Tinordi up for the rest of the season and alternate.

Tinordi is the only one that can bring the physical element lost with Emelin.

Kaberle. For sure. A vet, towards the end of the year and the playoffs, that's what you want. And a solution to end the Gorges-Bouillon misery on PP#2.

The underrated candidate? Watch out for....St-Denis. Unless there's a terrible report on him in Hamilton, he might actually be the safest bet out there. Nothing fancy. Not replacing Emelin's physicality. But another Gorges coming our way, a guy that saw the NHL already. That will keep it simple....towards the end of the season and playoffs? Probably what the doctor orders. That is.....if he really deserved it and does play well. Not sure that this is the reason why they didn't call him before, surely to see what the others had to offer since they know what St-Denis can do. We'll see about that.
