Yea but neither Kreider nor Cuylle are doing anything at ES. Vesey and that line have really clicked and its showing on the scoreboard. Id rather keep that line together and keep that secondary scoring. Instead Id try to use players from lines that arent clicking to find some punch.

I think you guys are out of your mind. Vesey is arguably the best forward aside from the Panarin line on this team this year

It would just be temporary ffs

What about Panarin crushing skulls all game and only getting one penalty?

Evil (bald) Panarin has turned into Dan Carcillo.

Whats important is scoring depth.

But the first line isn’t scoring

Im not interested in temporary, you start throwing a player like that around the lineup to try and find a spark and it fizzles out, then put him back where he was and he doesnt find that edge he had then youre gonna complai wtf happened. What happened is you fkd around and found out. Leave it alone. Need a solution? Find a trade partner to get a RW.

And yet were 16-4-1, you need to be more concerned whos on RW rather than moving up Vesey.

I can’t

We have 2 options for it, Wheeler or Vesey. That’s it

Option #3, leave your 2 lines that are scoring and try to find synergy with whats left and/or make a trade. Im still on the Tarasenko train from last place Sens.

Technically it scored last night

I can not get over the 180 degree turn Laffy's game has taken. I wrote him off but I was worng and the same could be true for KK- Hope he uses the time off to watch old video of himself,

Was my response measured enough for you all?

I will say this Jan, arent we talking symantics when saying a hit is dirty vs dangerous? Isnt a dangerous hit inherently a dirty hit?

I’m talking right now. Without making a trade. Two guys, pick one, Wheeler or Vesey for line 1. It’s the no brainer decision of the century

It’s about deserving something and Jimmy DESERVES the opportunity up there

Lavi is much more willing to double shift his stars- so Laffy and Bread can do some time on other lines to help our dirth of RWs

Im leaving Wheeler there. Theres no guarantee Vesey on the top line does anything. If anything, Id bet if you did that, it does nothing to spark the 1st line and it screws up the secondary scoring of the 4th line.

I give up on this one. You guys are nuts🤷🏻‍♂️

I want Gerard Gallant tarred and feathered for not putting Laf in the top 6 earlier.

Wheeler is bad. He shouldn't be dressed but they have no choice. He was directly responsible for the 2nd goal.

You need to understand, matchups matter too, Vesey on the top line means he will be up against the best defenders of opposing teams. It just doesnt translate as easy as youd like it too.

Id say Gustafsson standing right in front of Shesty is the reason.

That was after Gustafsson moved the puck from behind the net to Wheeler. Wheeler then stopped, fumbled it in his own feet, had it stripped and then the Wings scored. All he had to do wither either move the puck or clear it and he didn.'t

TJ, I get your view and could see the move happening. That would mean moving Wheeler back to the third line and Brodzinski to the fourth. But they may be waiting for Chytil to return before they swap line combinations, as part of the decision making process may depend on where he slots in

I will say this Jan, arent we talking symantics when saying a hit is dirty vs dangerous? Isnt a dangerous hit inherently a dirty hit?
- aecliptic

Similar, yes, but I view dirty as a level beyond dangerous. Hitting somewhat from behind, even with just a half-step forward, is dangerous, taking a run from two strides away and doing so is dirty

The ice was shit the whole game though. Just seemed like the puck was on edge all night.

Good response Jan and you didnt even have to blow gas on him
