Not sure what you've been watching...he's not scoring....getting scored on to the tune of 2 goals per game....called out by the coach for basically being a lazy goal suck. He's not ready for the NHL......yet
- Bullfrog77

If use his stats he is a plus 2 for the season. So not sure what you are seeing. Unless you mean today. He had a minus game. He set a couple guys real well but they didn't score. The other stuff I don't know if it's motivation or tough talk. It's the part he's working on to be NHL good.

Yeah, he's a +1 because he's getting scored on to the tune of 2 goals per game.

He didn't look out of place with the Sedins despite them being a less than ideal offensive fit... The AHL will only frustrate and possibly ruin him. Find him some (frank)ing linemates.

With you on Goldy issue. That's the rub. If you don't put him with Bo. Then what..? Choices are sooo limited. Solutions sooo next year and beyond. Got any angles to it...?

For now I'd love to see him with Bo & Boeser. A young north/south line where he provides speed & creativity from the wing.

Leaving it to Sven Sutter LE?
Dank Hank Granlund
JV back in Utica?

What does the 4th line look like?

Leaving Megna Chaput DD Labate Boucher Gaunce

All I know is you can't expect a BMW to perform well on a line with Kias. He needs to be with other Bimmers. Not saying the same Bimmers tho... Say he's an M3... He needs to play opposite an X5. Maybe a 7 Series at center... Until we draft an i8

Good analogy. BTW i've an X5 😂👍

Presuming we get Nico

Sven BO LE
Goldy Nico BB
Dank Hank Granlund
Labate Sutter DD
Megna Boucher

Only JV can influence these lines i speculate highly on if he is up or in utica as a 1st call up. If DD is done then more opportunity.

That is one soft top 9.
I predict that JV will make the big club next year.

Sure is soft yes 😂
Assuming Nico is picked & plays or insert Patrick idc.
No probs JV making it, place him in the line up.

If ever we need a loss. Its tonight

Oh shat after reading some comments I hope you guys loose!

A difference in leadership for two Nuck players. Who said what last night after the game. Which quote below is Bo's or Hanks?

A) "There were things missing for sure and when you’re top-paid players aren’t producing it’s tough to win.”


B) “I think I can add that element to my game — being a physical player — and if I have to do those kind of things, I will,” he said.

Coaching .

I think WD has his eye on that Dallas job . He did okay here , he was not the problem.

Dallas Green does not have a contract next year. I think he will get a two year show me contract with Canucks.

I don't think he is the right choice but in transition years who cares

Agreed, Bo is just about the only center on this team he could find success with.
Sutter is an offensive black hole and Goldy's to fast for Henrik.

I see we lost last night, good news, it's a must lose situation tonight to finish second last. Hopefully they sit the twins.

Why would you sit your biggest Defensive liability ?

Because they're also their top offensive players, outside of Horvat. Last thing they need is to score.
