Wasn't he a center in junior ?
- kritter65

Yes that’s the reason why we drafted him

The Mittelstadt and Erod lines will get similar ice time and will both be closer to 3rd line time than 2nd

Johansson-Mitts-Reinhart
Vesey-Erod-Okposo

Reinhart is not a center, and he's our only good RW

Lets be honest. You didn’t make ANY points. You stated your own conclusion without reference to any of the data you claim to love.

I have no intention of getting into an argument over this, because I’d rather see Sam play on the first line and see us acquire a proven value at 2C.
- Der Kaiser

Stated my opinion here, as most do most of the time. If you just want to post links and not argue anything, that's fine. I want to see Sam at 2RW. I think it's best for the team.

How is erod going to get the same ice time on the 4th line ?

There’s way too much data being analyzed in the piece to dismiss as “clickbait”

I’m not saying he’s right. I’m just saying there’s more to talk about.
- Der Kaiser

I think he's right about reinhart's deceptively strong defensive game, but I think his offensive numbers will dry up with the increased responsibility. And it really destroys the RW depth chart. I think Reinhart can help more by upping Mitt's center production from RW

Erod is a middle-6 center on this team unless you want Larry or Sobotka there

Casey is going to be the 3rd line center
So your boy will be on the 4th line

Suckoff will be gone

So who is 2C?

I already know the answer will be some imaginary trade, but let's hear it

I wouldn't say that. He is kind of like Charles Clay - not a bad player but not nearly good enough to justify the money.

It will probably be RNH or someone there is zero chance we’re going with Casey as the 2nd line center

The Oilers aren't going to trade one of their 3.5 good forwards for Risto

Messier comes to mind. Recently, a lot tougher.

State your opinion all you like.

“Olives suck in egg salad ” is an opinion too.

Follow, launion?

But messier was a trade correct ?

I’ll give them that one but all bust after that
And they sign mostly all the Hobey baker winners and they become nothing

Something like: "he's one biscuit away from being a tight end"

I personally think it’s absolutely vital he’s on the second line with Mittelstadt.

Mitts needs to play with guys who can be creative and defensively responsible

I’d love an Ehlers/Mitts/Reinhart combo that’s got a little bit of everything on it.

Speed/smarts/both Ehlers and Mitts have excellent shots.

Make the trade already

Chris Drury.... I kid

I give it a 75/25 that Casey is 2C. Or they give Sammy another shot (I really hope not) at center.
