2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[statswatcher]

Mrazek was just activated and Commesso was sent back to Rockford. I was hoping Jones and/or Martinez would be ready for tonight as I'm so sick of Brodie.

brodie probably stays in the lineup when jones come back. if he does i think it's pretty easy to conclude that tinordi staying in the lineup last year was a kd decision more than a lurich decision.

I don't know man. Last year, they were so desperate for bodies that I didn't really care about Tinordi. Yeah he was bad but I don't remember them having anyone else that I was screaming to play instead of him.

With the way the lineup is now, I get that you need some experience and that if Brodie doesn't play, every defenseman other than Connor Murphy is 23 or under. But when Jones/Martinez come back, I can't justify giving minutes to Brodie over Kaiser, Allan, Korchinski, or even Crevier. I get Brodie is not going anywhere with that contract but let him hang in the press box and give him a game when the Hawks have back to backs.

i agree with most of what you are saying, i simply don't think kd sees it that way. if i had to bet i'd say he's aiming to send one of the young d down. hopefully i'm wrong, but it's not a massive worry in my mind either way.

Don’t want Marner at all

It ain't gonna happen so you can rest easy.

Tinordi was bad but he played the pugilist role so that made him more vital than Brodie. Sit the players that aren't performing---it's that easy.

Brodie at his worst is still better hockey player than Tinordi at his best

Tinordi would look bad on bottom pairing in AHL
