It feels like a defenseman should get dealt today just based on numbers

With power play time they might. If Thompson could play at a 0.5ppg clip with Sobotka and Pominville and no PP time I’d trade Reinhart tomorrow.

really, gonna go there?


the kids are no better now then opening night, and it's obvious

Don't hold your breath on that.

casey is on pace for 28 points

thompson on pace for 20 points


the point production has not gotten any better as they got more games under their belt


at some point, you can't defend lack of production

Mitts was playing with Remi Elie recently, and he's getting L3 ice time. I can absolutely defend the lack of production

Reinhart had 11 points playing in the bottom 6 on this team last year after 40 games with PP time and you hang off his sack like he’s Adam Oates.

Sure you can, put you foot down and put Remi on waivers. That should fix it.

Filip Chytil is outperforming Casey

Reinhart is not the problem

Reinhart is in year 4 and the guy can’t even drive his own line. I’m sure Mitts could hang off Eichel’s jock strap like skinner and Reinhart too.

No, but you CAN defend/forgive the rookie/2nd year status for the two, can't we?

I'm done with the Casey talk, he has no business being the 2nd line center, kid isn't ready.

some guys really need to get their eye's checked every year

thompson is no better then last year with the blues

casey is worse then last spring


where is the growth and development?

And he looked invisible.

Thompson and Mitts make skill plays, they just aren’t polished and have 0 legit help.

I don’t think either are top 6 players right now, but kids usually don’t just get thrown out there with Connor Sheary’s and Sobotka’s and are expected to produce

Reinhart is not the problem

Neither is Casey. Sobotka, Pominville. Okposo, Elie, and to a smaller extent Erod and Sheary are the problems on this team.

he is part of the problem for the 2018-19 season

I’d love to see what Skinner and Reinahrt do playing with Sobotka, Pominville (without a line centred by Eichel), Okposo, Elie, Girgensons, Larsson, Erod.

Sheary-Mitts-erod has been our best line the last week and a half and Mittelstadt has played his best hockey all year this past week. Imagine adding capable 2nd line players for him to play with.

So is everyone besides 53/9/26

you forgot someone

thompson 4 points in last 15 games
casey 6 points in last 19 games

they really need to be .5 ppg player at this point, don't they?
- homiedclown

I agree, good post.

Tage and Casey need to have 82 points combined or more per season next year and beyond.
For the playoffs

Thompson is playing with a center who has 0 goals in 34 games, a guy we just waived, and Pominville who had 1 goal in 2 months until this week.

He should produce on his own I guess?

- homiedclown

The guy who once again was supposed to help depth scoring by being on his own line and failed miserably, again?

That’s a problem.

We all know he’s great at riding Jack’s coattails

You can blame coaching ......

Lots of guys with nhl experience are not performing to projected point totals.

Sobotka
Okposo
Girgs
