I was thinking the same thing, but not sure why. But I think Ritchie should be on the 2nd line at the least. Maybe Sprong with him, but maybe not. I dunno.Not a fan of that second line

Yeah Swap Ritchie with Shore & its a massively better 2nd line.I was thinking the same thing, but not sure why. But I think Ritchie should be on the 2nd line at the least. Maybe Sprong with him, but maybe not. I dunno.

I think his days of taking over games are mostly over but he's still an impact player with a skill set we completely lack.Excited to see what Perry can do once he’s back in the lineup. He’s been sorely missed.
Really hoping Grant returns, too.I have no issue with those lines. . . .I think the idea is to keep Ritchie and Sprong together. Both are sure bets to return next season and have chemistry together.
I'm with you there. But it didn't happen after last season so it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't happen again this season. Assuming Kesler's outlook is now more pessimistic, I think the odds of Grant returning are increased.Really hoping Grant returns, too.
Not sure how much of a guide last season will be with that. To the extent it's up to Grant, I wonder if he learned his lesson about how many options he has.I'm with you there.

Don’t like him? I personally think he’s rather good. Doesn’t produce but has played way better than Cogs has, and is being forced to play way higher up in the lineup than he should because of injuries.What am I missing with Shore? Or that the Ducks see and I don't?

Yeah, I was hoping they would be overly cautious with Perry and have him take the season off. Teemu had a full season to recover and was rejuvenated.If any of these are premature, I'm gonna be real mad. Especially if Perry's being brought back just for ****s and giggles.
And that's what I was saying. I mentioned putting Ritchie back with Henrique...and maybe Sprong too. And there's your Ritchie Sprong combo, while having Henrique in that line as center seems like it should be better for both wingers than Grant (no offense to Grant).I have no issue with those lines. The first line is self-explanatory. The second line duo of Henrique-Silfverberg was great to start the season and Shore is as close a replica of Comtois that we have. Now before people suggest Ritchie, I think the idea is to keep Ritchie and Sprong together. Both are sure bets to return next season and have chemistry together. I see no sense in putting Ritchie with Silfverberg only for the latter to be traded within three weeks. Plus there's an outside chance of Shore being traded too, although that'd come as a surprise if it were to happen at the deadline.
so this is as healthy as this team will ever be this season.....and if they still play the way they are?
Perry, Silf and Eaves all take off IR
Doesn't look like it tbh.Do we have cap space to activate Eaves? We put Kase on LTIR but I still don't think that's enough. I suppose you could put one or both of Kesler/Miller on LTIR, but I believe they are both on the road trip so they might be back soon.
Damn, I didn't even realize they are so against the cap. I wonder what's going to be the play here? Since they traded for Del Zotto, there's no place for Eaves to come back, am I right?
Right. I suppose because Miller is on a 35+ contract, his cap hit will count against the cap even when on IR.It might not be quite that simple, but Johnson is probably the bigger one. If Miller is ready they can probably waive and then trade him or something along those lines, even just sending Johnson down might be enough.
