Of course he gets put with Chara lol

Let's cool our excitement on him a little bit. I'm sure he'll do fine, but I'm not banking on him immediately becoming a steady top-4 defenseman.

FIRST LINE WINGER ROBIN SALO

he certainly won’t look like one if he’s paired with chara

I remember the same thing was said about Devon Toews

Chara will commit a turnover that leads to a goal and Trotz will say Salo needs to work on his details

Toews was older than Salo and far more seasoned at that time.

this 100% will happen saturday

Toews was a year older and coming off of shoulder surgery.

The SHL is a much better league than the AHL and Salo was dominant as a #1 D. Salo doesn’t need more seasoning.

I think we’re going to see a lot of different pairs. I’m hoping pelech-dobson, Salo-Greene get some looks

i’m really hoping we get some pelech-dobson. i think that’d be really good for dobson’s development. i’m also hoping for no more chara but alas i don’t think that’s coming

Yeah Pelech’s two way game is what Dobson should learn from, not washed up 40 YO D

I thought Dobson had his best game of the season against FL - the narrative that he’s taken a step back just isn’t true at all. He has struggled on the PP , but the whole team has tbh. At even strength Dobson has been at worst their 3rd best defenseman.
Here’s how he ranks among isles D.
GF/60 - 1st
XGF/60 - 1st
CF/60 -2nd
ICF- 1st
IXG - 4th

They have to scratch Chara at some point - It’s getting to the point where having Chara in the lineup is just being ok with losing.
