Anyone else confused

Don't tell me you expected something else? We ARE talking about the same David Poile after all

I actually really like those lines -- we'll see what ends up happening, but there seems to be a logjam in the bottom 6.

I don’t like that we keep blocking young talent from making their way onto the team. I hope we clear out some of the excess cap sitting in the bottom 6

Eh, Tolvanen isn't even elite in the KHL and Tomasino is so very green (not overly NHL ready imo) while Trenin likely just a decent NHLer, not that big a deal

Ingram & Carrier most NHL ready

At least Carrier not being blocked at all lol

There's room in the bottom 6 to start bringing up guys like Trenin, Pitlick, Richard for forwards. Allard, Carrier, and possibly Davies should be getting shots at the bottom pairing but with CoroCop, Benning, and Tinordi i doubt any of them ever get a shot.

Tolvanen is a strange case. I think under the right circumstances he could really take off. Tomasino may be green but he impresses me everywhere he plays. He needs to get a couple game evaluation this season. He isn't getting much from the OHL.
