Yup, that’s what’ll it looked like at practice... was really hoping Ozzy would be swapped for hainsey... oh well.

That is likely what they go with the rest of the year. Ozhiganov might go to the Marilies instead of sitting and they may look to add a 7th D at the deadline. You don't want Marincin or Holl coming in for an injury in the playoffs.

While I agree that Hainsey has not been good this year he has been put in a lose lose situation. He is quite old and cannot keep up with the top players on top teams so he should not be on our top pairing. With reduced minutes and easier matchups he should thrive once again on our third pairing. If you take a look back at how much he has helped Reilly in the last few years it will be amazing to have him helping out Dermott the same way. I also see the arugment that OZ should not be scratched lets see how this plays out over the next few games....
