Is Abramov ready? I would play Joseph higher in the lineup than him regardless, and Holden should be in over MDZ

Doubt Norris and DeBrincat play together. They're both big time finishers, better to spread them out. Also swap Tkachuk and Stützle, Timmy is our 1C.

I'd probably like to see something like

Tkachuk-Stützle-DeBrincat
Joseph-Norris-Batherson

He can start in ahl if he isn’t and just shift Joseph to his spot and have senyshyn or anyone in FA on the 4th line in his spot.

Man Ottawa will be good offensively!

Swallow the bullet and trade Murray, don’t care about the cost and do it to improve the defence.

Minute logging RHD is needed on the team. Use prospects and trade for one and sign giroux and now your a playoff team in the Atlantic with a declining Boston.

Abramov went back to Russia because he wasn't gonna make the team. I have no idea if he'll ever return tbh. Certainly wouldn't expect him to play ahead of a guy like Joseph or even Kelly.

Yea Murray’s a dagger on this team, would love to see them go out and bring in someone else either via trade (a Blackwood type) or FA (Husso) and run a tandem of them and forsberg.

The type of RHD they need is a trouba type player and I wish we could trade him to the sens but cap is a thing and so is his nmc haha

We were roasting Dorian earlier in the day about the possible Buffalo deal, but he came out on top here. Dorian knows Boston is declining and he needs to pounce on the opportunity asap
