Goncalves actually made a nice pass to set Chaffee for scoring chance around slot, and he shot it right into the goaltender, no rebound.
 
Regarding grit/character: I would have loved to add another Maroon/Perry type of player at the TDL but it wasn’t in our cards unfortunately.

Lilleberg or Girgensons are not that.

I'd give Logan Brown a chance on the 4th line, see what he can bring.
Also I cannot wait for Howard.
Put him on the 1st line as soon as he is signed and see what he can do.

Howard - Point - Kuch
Hagel - Cirelli - Gourde
Guentzel - Paul - Bjork
Chaffee - Glendening - Brown

This way you have 2 highly skilled players on every line in the top9 and Brown could easily bring more than what Girgenson bring.

Reminded me of the awful SJ game from earlier this year, played lethargic and stupid. I definitely wouldn’t blame this in Hedman, weak excuse for a team we have high hopes for

I’d like to have some extra grit and snarl down the stretch. I wonder if Khaira down in Syracuse could ride shotgun as a 13th forward/cement.
I don't think they can sign a player after the trade deadline (who wasn't on the reserve list) and have them participate in the NHL playoffs.

It's not in the CBA, or the game rules, so there seems to be additional rules that we don't really have easy access to. NHL by laws, for one.

To my memory, Ron Wilson kind of brought about this change. He'd play most of the year in Europe, but would sign with an NHL team for the playoffs. The league didn't like this, so they created the rule.
