Does Vesey's play warrant him to be on the 2nd line?

Eh... see if playing with Zucc sparks him somehow. If not, drop him down and start phasing him out of your future plans.

hey hanrahan!
The roster you mentioned was way better than the roster tonight.
In all fairness to you, tonight is not the roster iced in October 1993 either, so who knows?
Of course not but at least he’s trying out there which is more than anyone can say about namestnikov. He shouldn’t be given that spot based off his play no way.

Who was better?
That version of Hank or the current version?
That version of Staal or... What ever the f*** we have now?

hey hanrahan!
And AV scratched ADA tonight out of revenge for him being the 5th coach to not want to play Adam Clendening.

So then I'm confused. Namestnikov is on the 4th line because he should be there, and Quinn is right, so you are right. But Quinn is wrong about Vesey on the 2nd line because he doesn't deserve to be there, but you're still right about Vesey?
Just trying to follow the logic here.

Every indication from practice lines were that Claesson and DeAngelo would be the scratches, though.

Coaches are infallible when they agree with me and mentally infants when they disagree with me.

Who's better? Skjei or 2008-09 Redden? Kreider or a broken Naslund? The point is even in retrospect we can see several of those players had awful, awful seasons... Drury and Naslund showed they were breaking down... but then some unexpected contributions from younger players and good goalie play kept their heads above water. And that was even with an established coach and system in Renney, so you could have an idea of what to expect. During a rebuild you are constantly evaluating what you have. NYR doesn't even really know what they have yet.

So after Edmonton gets a few more 1st OAs and they become a dynasty, Quinn can go make finger paintings behind the bench en route to his 6th cup in a row as head coach of the Oilers. He will then be known as the poor man's mastermind since Sullivan is now the normal income genius behind Crosby.

This roster is weaker, and the main carry [hint: the Swedish dude with the custom painted mask] who dragged this franchise out of most likely a slightly better than mediocre new era® is way, way less dominant now.
Yeah but Hank was the reason that team got in, and barely as an 8th seed.
Theres a pretty big difference between what he was then (in the prime of his career) to what he is now (Still pretty good, but not nearly as good and prone to more stinkers.)
We don't know what we have and yeah, it should be eval time but that team (08-09) was further along and had less ?'s at key positions.
Drury had a pretty good season that year btw. It wasn't until the season after where things started to go off the rails.
