Injury Report: 2024 - 2025 Injury Reports

Heard from JR that Halloway is comfortable playing center and he’s excited for the opportunity to play there with Thomas out.

I’d see what we have internally first. Try Holloway at C. Try Tex at C again. Sundqvist, Walker…but fact remains, the next 6 weeks are probably going to be a struggle. I’m not in favor of paying assets to bring in a short term bandaid solution. Sink or swim with this group. If a trade that makes sense now but also in the future materializes, go for it, but that’s unlikely so I’m not counting on it.

Alexandrov is off to a fast start also. We can bring him up and give him top 9 minutes.

Pretty much this. Let’s see what we have for the immediate future and re-evaluate if necessary.

Will they have Holloway centre The 3rd Line, or The 2nd? I don't like Schenn at centre anymore. He's a lot better on the wing. I'd play Buchnevich on The 1st Line, Holloway on The 2nd, and try Texier on The 3rd, and put Sundqvist on The 4th, but on the wing, with Faksa at centre.

Alexandrov had lots of holes in his game last season. Has he improved at all? Playing him at centre on The 3rd Line sounds like a mistake to me. I'd rather try Texier there.

You forgot Faksa

You forgot Faksa

Yes I did. Thanks. I'd have Faksa at centre, and Sundqvist in a rotation with Walker or another winger

Holloway is playing 3C tonight.

Schenn at 1C but we’ll see how that goes…

Can you imagine if that had been the approach with a 19 year old Robert Thomas?

But Thomas was ready. His all around game was much more developed and sending back to the OHL would have been a waste as he had outgrown it.
