Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[McDonald19]

Since it’s a three game suspension, can we get a skill player call up please?

Pasta time??

OK, but where are we supposed to find that?

I know, "they'll figure it out."

Yup, exactly. So the assumption would be to put a player who is starting to heat up now(Leo) with a player who had nice chemistry with them in the past but has cooled off a little (Mac).

Nope. Let’s put Brett Leason up there. Lol.

Heck, I’d even put Cutter up there who has some confidence now and gives Leo that sniper he needs.

Nope, let’s put Ross Johnston up there.

I’m getting ahead of myself. But I know Cronin too well. I’ll even apologize if Mac or Cutter are up there tomorrow.

I hope we aren't worse when we trade Dumo. We did experiment with a youth third pairing when we put Dumo-Trouba together as our 2nd pairing for a spell of games. Then we did away with it b/c our youth third pairing were being exposed. Since then, we just shorten the bench at the end of games to see Dumo-Trouba again. We have to juggle up the pairings if the youth 3rd pairing doesn't work.

I haven't looked at the advanced stats being referenced, but the Crash the Pond podcast rants at length about how Dumo-Trouba is statistically one of our worst pairings. They bring it up often when they talk about why they want Cronin fired. Take that for what it's worth.

I think we'll be better after trading Dumo, personally. Short term, I think we'll be fine. Long term, I think it will be much better for our young Ds development.

Pasta or Colangelo would be nice. Knowing Cronin though, it'll be Leason moved up and Harkins brought back in.

It's easier to deal with if you just remember the adage about not worry about things you can't control.

Also the adage about drinking. Well, it's not so much an adage. It's just drinking.
