Looks like Kassian is the odd man out when Horvat is healthy. Hopefully Hansen though.

Nonsense.

For the first time in a very very.....VERY long time the team is rolling four lines each of which holds its own qualities and strengths.

Plus, if you pay attention the bottom two "lines" are unset so to speak. It seems as though WD sets the bottom six in opposition to the opposition as Dorsett and Vey in particular are seemingly shifted throughout the line-up In favor of better match ups.

I don't believe this team has a fourth line in the classic sense as they can all counter attack with speed

9 points for the Sedins so far

Who's got them in the pool?

I predicted about 140 pts for them this year....got I to it with that notorious tool GardinerExpress who think the max out at 120.

Are you suggesting I didn't pay attention to Kassian not playing the last half of the game?

Next game next Friday?

Boys have almost a week off now.

I agree with you Scoob he was deliberately demoted. Barely played after drawing the penalty

Great minds think alike.

Maybe if you stopped thieving draft picks... btw Nucker put Roussel on his trading block if you still want him

Yes.

Kassian still logged more ice time then Hansen, Matthias and Dorsett, AKA the fourth line you advocated that Kassian was on..

He played the first two periods on the third line, before being moved to the 4th, after which he played maybe 2 or 3 shifts. I definitely didn't see him in OT. The point is that if he is not going to be given opportunities in the top 6 then we are better off trading him while the perception is still there that he can be an impact player. I don't want to trade him, but I don't want to see him rot on the 4th line

I never said he was on the fourth line, he wasn't on any line to end the game.

I'm actually not too surprised, they won't keep that up, but they have some real potential in that top 9

Let's all just agree its only 2 games in, and we can stop hypothetically trading players until at least game 5

Sure you do
