Confirmed with Link: The demote DSP thread (DSP sent to Norfolk)

[duxfan8]

Good deal.

Now go with this lineup and we'll be set.

Etem-Getz-Perry
Palmieri-Ryan-Selanne
Cogs-Koivu-Pooh
Belesky-Boner-Rakell

And I think we'll be set. Also, for the love of god keep Belesky off the PP.

I'd also call up PL3 in place of Staubitz...Staubitz might be a better skater, but let's be honest, they're both terrible and at least PL3 can wreck in a fight.

Pooh = Winnik?

 

[Selanne138]

Id call up Bodie or Rosehill tbh.

Either can sit in the press box no problem without hurting their development, they could split time with Staubitz and both could hold their own on the fourth line and they would both bring some physicality. Plus they should both be hungry as **** to get another chance in the the show.

 

[Exit Dose]

Not sure why the person we'd call up is Bodie or Rosehill. Staubitz was fine, yesterday.

 

[AngelDuck]

I think we should call up Maroon. He could work well with Bonino who likes to pass the puck. Maroon could hopefully provide us some scoring from the 4th line.

Beleskey-Bonino-Maroon isn't a bad line

Edit: Staubitz and Maroon could split the time. Staubitz plays against the Kings, Sharks, and other rivals/big teams, and Maroon plays against the easier matchups

I haven't seen Maroon play in almost a year. Unless he has made tremendous progress, I don't like it. I believe Exit Dose watched Norfolk pretty closely this season and he should be able to shed light either way on the subject.

 

[Exit Dose]

He's better, but his speed is still an issue. I like him a lot, but I'm guessing Boudreau saw something in camp that he didn't care for. I wouldn't expect much offense out of him if he did come up.

Unless we want to keep Rakell for the season, which I dont think is too likely at this point, are you comfortable going with 12 forwards? Bodie or Rosehill is a perfect press box/rotate in for Staubitz every few games candidate.

 

[Exit Dose]

There's not much point in rotating Staubitz out for essentially the same player. If you're putting someone in his place for a game, it's going to be someone that adds something different.

Valid point. They can sit in the press box every game I dont really care, I just dont want DSP/Rakell/Holland sitting there, its only hurting their development IMO.

Theres always Big Sexy for a change of pace

Agreed. Which is why I think they should consider calling Maroon up to help provide depth scoring.

What if Devo getting sent down was to make room for Lindholm? Why else would we have info of Devo getting sent down without anyone else coming back up?

 

[OCSportsfan]

I agree with you, he would be the only offensive player to call up now. He does not want to be in the AHL and would be a perfect 4th line player. With Bonino now on the 4th line, he needs someone that can score with him or it would be a waste.

 

[OCSportsfan]

What if Devo getting sent down was to make room for Lindholm? Why else would we have info of Devo getting sent down without anyone else coming back up?

I think in the short term this is accurate. If Lindholm can play you should see him in a game coming up.

Longer term I could see Hendry or Guenin coming up as a 7th D.

Hampus is currently not on the 23 man roster. If he is going to be added somebody else still has to go. There is no connection to Devo leaving.

This apparently is what has transpired per the transaction page on the AHL's website.

 

[Finnpin]

Hopefully he watched how Staubitz played and gets it in his skull that he was drafted because of physical play. He has talent and hopefully replace Cogs with some developement

This. DSP isn't going to be a NHLer just with his own talents if he doesn't start playing like he should with that frame. He needs to start hitting, be physical and drive to the net.

 

[Fallenity]

Devante Smith-Penalty

 

[Sean Garrity]

I didn't like him last year, and I've like him even less this year, but that could just be because we are winning as of now and he clearly is our weakest forward. Kid seems to play with no heart, as if he is entitled.

 

[Exit Dose]

Entitled? Are we mind readers now?

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Pooh = Winnik?

Yes. Winnik the Pooh, AKA Pooh bear, AKA Pooh motha****in bear. Stealing all the honey. Even the honey badger wouldn't dare mess with him.
