I think he falls a bit more in the middle. He's not quite what they want him to be, but I think he's capable of more than just a checking line guy.

My main issue is he just doesn't seem to use his linemates like he should. And the dumb penalties since he got back need to stop.

He probably is. I just don't like him on a line that's expected to score every game.

I think he could have a quiet 15-20 goals in a lesser role and be totally effective

I agree. I'll admit, I didn't get to watch too much of either game this weekend as I had other commitments. Doesn't appear that I missed that much though.

AS much as I'd like to trade Kane, IMO his value is all but shot.

off of an average performance last year.
0 points this year coming of another law run in and an injury.

Kaitlyn? God NO! You think you have off ice issues with Kane, that would be 10 x worse and would cause serious problems in the locker room.

Good point! Kaitlyn might be able to make the transition to goalie too. I would think no other opposing player would dare to try and stuff it in his/her 5 hole!

Playing the whole/hole 200ft could be a plus.

where does everyone see moulson finishing in goals this year? Do you think the first 15 games are a fluke or can he keep up this pace/close to it. Which range would you say?
10-15
15-20
20-25
25-30
30+


Im going to go with my gut and say 20-25

That would be fantastic . When Jack and ROR are back his scoring might take a hit based on the ice time . But if he played 10min a game and scored every other or every 3rd game . I would be happy

Also nillson possibly better than lehner?
His save percentage seems to point that way. Could it be because hes played in very limited games and cannot sustain a decent GAA and save percentage? I dont know if i could ever see him absolutely stand on his head like lehner did against the sens though.


Tough to say but i would like him to get more games. Some of the reason being that we could win a shootout or two with him behind us

Good point cab....Maybe keep him on the PP with jack and ROR? Thats where hes getting his goals anyway. Hell, he might even benefit from it.
