We’ve been losing way too much lately
Gotta try & switch things up
Imo, Housley has already waited too long

- jdfitz77

Agreed . Should have had a couple combos he could go to when a line isn't doin well. Experimenting should be long over .

He def knows how to play being Jacks wing man in college . Should be used to being without him now .

Sure
But playing on the Wing with Jack against Merrimack isn’t quite the same as playing on Sobotka’s wing in the NHL

All I’m saying is- that for whatever reason-
E Rod seems to play better when he’s at Center

I’d like to see Skinner & Jack broken up
And i wouldn’t mind seeing Sam back at Center
Maybe moving Mitts to the wing for now would help?

Regardless...
gotta get this stuff all figured out ASAP
We should make the playoffs over NyI & Mtl
I don’t think either of those teams are all that impressive

Contract year and he has been scratched a bunch

I like him as a 6

But you'll probably get more for him than you would Scandella

Teams are always looking for defensive depth
Shouldn’t be hard to move him

He’s played decent this year for the most part

I’d be ok if both were moved

Finish the season with:
Dahlin-Bogo
Pilut-Risto
McCabe-Nelson
Hunwick

Still have Guhle & Doughtery that can be brought up
And Borgen has been pretty solid for Roch too

Someone probably needed more rest, he's got the least amount of ice time on D tonight so far.
- Wetbandit1

I like the idea of Erod as a 4th line center who’s given offensive zone looks if Asplund develops into a 3C eventually

Darcy would get a 2nd for him...then completely screw up the pick.

E Rod seems like a good utility guy to keep around
I thought that Baptiste & Bailey would at least be good 4th liners for us though

He has looked a little slow in the A both times I’ve seen him live. I worry he won’t keep up with the pace in the National league
