So maybe games 5-7 if Tampa pushes the series that far ;)
I'll guess that is dependent on work visa stuff but I wouldn't expect to throw him into a game right now. The D is playing pretty solidly to tart this series. No reason to rock the boat unless he shows he's ready to jump in after a couple of practices.

Not going to lie, another good d man will not hurt us.

But to play his first NHL game in post season against the best team in the league is not easy.

You missed the point of my post.

Bringing in someone new worries me with how much McQuaid struggled when he first arrived picking up the system. Not the time of year to rock the boat. Would like him to prove some amount of chemistry/understanding of the system in practice first.

I absolutely play Gavrikov over #14
Kukan's been fine at worst and good at best. He's probably the best skater of the current top 6. I'd keep rolling with him. Harrington's the one who comes out if anyone, but I haven't had too many issues with him of late. If it ain't broke...
