He's the new Holl.

To me put the third line out after the top PP scored not the 4th line that to me rn is a work in progress

Gregor-Holmberg-Reaves are not it

Yea resting big guys is good but putting out

Gregor-Holmnerg-Reaves
Lagesson-Lajoie

Was a bad choice as 30 seconds later Buffalo goal lul

Lukas Reichel at center

Wish they would bring these back and just wear these next year

Yeah, 3-line or PP2 or a jumble of whose going in the here & now...

Bruh, Keefe's choice there, on home ice to boot, was kinda greasy and the pressbox brass have taken note believe me.

My 2 primary trade candidates

Would prefer both but probs can only have 1 lul

Speedy Joe 1.0 (sans beard)

In general with the Blue line missing 3 guys a lack of a net front defender, and a 4th line that is unuseable its time for a change

The above is how it can start lul

4th line should be easy call up from minors and stuff and experiment

Dcore's where its gonna get tricky money in and out so to speak

none of treliving's signings have worked out so far. extremely concerning.

Zadorov's foot speed is glacial
Tanev can't stay healthy - he's a TML TDL deal, if he makes it to March in one piece...

I think Klingbergs agent needs to head to court. Highway robbery.

Bertuzzi and Domi I give a little pass as one is hurt the other is not being used right (Domi should be playing Center idk why Keefe is insistent on wing). Bertuzzi should be resting I can see it. Whatever is the injury its nagging and bothering him. To bad for the cap space call Robertson up till hes healthy

Klingberg looked like a guy who would rebound nicely a chip on his shoulder lots to prove. What hes proved he should be in europe in some league nobody has heard of. The way he played tonight man pressbox has his name written all over it.

Reaves should be in and out depending on matchups like AVS do with Macdermid not in every game

Its a combo of being unlucky, injuries and being utilized incorrectly thats just manifested a mess

Foot speed is the least of my concern for the third pair. Gimmie a net front bruiser to play with Liligren as I doubt hes slower than 40 year old Gio now.

And Tanev past 2 years has been better with his health put him with McCabe. Willing to risk it a bit

Like

Rielly-Brodie
McCabe-Tanev
Zadorov-Liligren

Thats better than what I am seeing rn (granted injuries but you get it)

Domi made a good play/effort to keep it out of the net on that goal-line fumble late.

But he did cough up many in their own zone too which has to stop.
He's kinda that deer in headlights/ hot potato/ jimmy-legs guy.

So what's the realistic trade?
Those two can fill that role for many other clubs as well.
CAL while sucking, they have some clout and will surely pit club A vs club B bidding wars.

he's been the most noticeably terrible, especially considering the alternative (re-sign gustafson for a 5th of the price and play timmins full time).

but bertuzzi and domi have been useless; just doing cardio out of the ice, not making an impact whatsoever.

reaves is as expected, garbage. hasn't fought outside the first two games and did **** all against marchand on thursday.



i don't think "being injured", which is debatable, or playing off position is an excuse for them. both guys were brought in for a specific identity role and neither have filled it.

Marco Rossi looks really good this year

I mean we dont know the injury. Some injuries can really hurt a players play. We know what healthy Bertuzzi can do this is far from it. Hes shown flashes but to me this is like what we saw with Matthews he at times looked like a shell of what we saw from the 60 season. Resting him to me for a few games is needed. To bad 0 space as Robertson would be a nice fill in till he is good to go.

Domi that guys built for Center. I saw it in Dallas and Chicago. He and Knies are great but then you put Kampf there and its what are we doing.

Like dont tell me

Knies-Domi-Jarnkrok doesnt have a nice ring to it or heck spread the scoring Knies-Domi-Nylander. Let Willy carry a line as it will be great for his $$$$$. As if he does well and shows hey I dont got to be with JT or Matthews to do **** here's 10m lul

Like to me bottom 6 needs a shift move some guys and take others out Gregor and Reaves for starters. Send Holmberg down and call 2 guys up from Robertson, Ellis, Steeves, McMann

Also Klingberg your going to the ****ing moon

How he got worse than he was in ANA is a how. He should be eating the cookies putting up points left and right they have given him such an opportunity but so far its hey when Timmins gets back soon your times coming up

Will he finish that deal though will be the real question as we may see waivers

So if CGY decides **** it tank I was thinking money in and out with assets so basically Klingberg would have to go to make the money side work

You do the trade early as to not get into the bidding wars of the TDL

As to how it would look idk havent got into the details yet

I had another trade idea but its so confusing. Was reminiscent of LA, PHI, CBJ though (Provarov trade)

Well that was not supposed to happen

Chicago just beat the **** out of Florida

Yeah 3-clubs likely is the answer...

It depends

So I did the math if CGY retains on Zadorov and Tanev (50%) and takes Klingberg back to help the tank and have it as a money out both teams can make it work

Now if CGY dont want to ret on both thats when you need a third team

But its doable rn just its also still early

The 3 team trade was something I had in mind between Toronto, Columbus, and a team wanting to tank

The premise was

Toronto would get Peeke
CBJ some assets and player from third team
Third team gets assets and Klingberg retained by Columbus.

But it was so confusing lul

Best skating tandem in hockey:
McDavid & Foegle of course LOL.

What scrambled hockey mind has said "this'll be awesome, just watch?" smh

Someone put the sharks out of their misery good lord
