The players don’t choose who goes over the boards.

No, but that's not the only issue.

But will they? Toronto pulled their deal out apparently. Idk I'd go for him.

I'm definitely intrigued by the fact he's a right-handed LW, but how does that affect the rest of the lineup? Does that move Zucker to the RW and force him to shoot more?

I wish the NHL had to be more definitive with their injury reports. I guess Zucker might have avoided a major injury? I guess he avoided surgery, but who knows.

I just hope it's not one of those things where they really should get surgery and just put it off.

It’s retarded. Just perma ban any media from asking about it. It’s damn near at that point with the information they put out.

I mean would you really hate:
Guentz-Sid-Rust
Forsberg-Geno-Kap
ZAR-Blue-Tanev
Zucker-McCann-Scevior(For now)

I definitely have issue with paying $5M to pay the fourth line and getting fourth line minutes. I'd be putting Zucker on the right side of Sid or Geno. I don't know his history on the right side, but for guys who like to score goals it CAN be a good thing.

Why would they call Josh Currie up. He’s obviously a nobody. Give someone with some potential a chance.

LOL It still doesn't matter if Sully treats them like a fourth line. Not trying to nit-pick haha, I promise.

Letang is on

Zar on 2nd line
Laff on 3rd on rw tanev to lw
O’Connor on 4th

I put them there, doesn't mean they are the 4th line. You play whoever is playing best the more minutes out of the bottom 2 lines and the top 2 lines.

I know I've said this a few times, but I really wish they'd swap Petts and POJ.

I mean we've all been talking about getting deeper, we put a lineup out there that's deeper and say, "no that's too much" lol

- Rinosaur

I was just thinking that actually. They really seem adamant on Letang and petts not playing together. I read somewhere they have a combined 131 minutes I think. You’d think they would easily surpass that in a few years just based off 1 dman changing while the other gets stuck, all the D injuries somehow you’d think they would get a few games together. Something.

Letang is on

Zar on 2nd line
Laff on 3rd on rw tanev to lw

Doesn't look like Bellerive is going to get a legitimate shot at playing this season.

Hell naw. I mean I’d rather him playing in the A than sitting on the taxi squad but he should get a chance of Josh Currie to be called up

- Rinosaur

I agree, I think that would be a good idea as well not only for limiting his minutes but I think POJ playing with Letang limits what POJ can do with the puck because Tanger has it more.

Media members ask the stupidest most basic questions. The questions are as dumb as the answers. If you’re not gonna ask some real poop they might as well just shut down the whole hockey writing industry. Waste of time.

It's such vanilla bullpoop. Same poop every question asked a different vanilla way.

Yeah. I just don't think their styles mesh. It's not a balanced pair.

Exactly, Pettersson can be more of the stable guy with Letang and POJ can do his thing with Ceci being the stable guy. Matheson and Marino seem to take turns with who's taking the chances, they seem to work well.

It's all garbage fluff. I don't pay attention to it much, it's on if an actual good question comes up I'll listen in lol but that's few and far between.
