The Nuke and Lehky flip makes this lineup to top heavy IMO. This whole Rodrigues and Newhook and the 2C spot has been more of a circus than I was expecting (and my expectations were already low coming into it).

Also cannot afford to scratch Kaut at this point. He’s been on the brink so long that his waiver exception has lapsed. They need to give him 15 games of a fair shot and then either cut their loses with him or he’s an everyday player. A decision needs to be made now if he’s a guy or not a guy.

I wonder if 9 & 18 have a small beef for 2C? 62 seems like a Glue Guy, and might solidify them two. Nuke is pretty shy, and I wonder if he just doesnt talk to them enough

Pick one of Kaut or Maltsev, doesn't matter to me. I'm assuming Hunt plays as a respected vet. MacD plays to prevent Reaves.

Problem is that I want both. I’d sit Hunt in favour of MacDermid if you are worried about Reaves

Avs twitter just confirmed Toews is playing. Bad news for NYR

MacDermid scratched. Your wish is granted

Which means he won’t be playing D either as per your wishes lol
