Player Discussion: Anthony Cirelli

[DFC]

Hope this works out

Leaves a ton of talent for other lines. If Palat is healed up... Wow. If not... Meh.

If old Palat ever came back, I'd love this line.

So if Johnson is playing wing, who's going to center line 3? Assuming Point is back of course. Verhaeghe? Maybe Gourde?

Johnson's been with Killorn and Kucherov. I assume that's just holding Point's place warm though (Johnson - Point - Kuch), so yeah, Verhaeghe probably has a solid chance. Hose has him on the team because he'd have to pass through waivers. I don't doubt we keep him up and send Martel down.

seems a lock line cirelli stamkos drej i like it

 

[Rschmitz]

If they are keeping Cirelli as the #3 C even without Point, you can pretty much expect that he won't be playing wing on the top line. The coaching staff wants him as the shutdown center

 

[God King Fudge]

I've been wanting Cirelli on a line with Stamkos all offseason. Don't really want Palat there to drag them down, but I'll take what I can get.

You'll get out of Palat out of the top 6 when you pry him from Coop's cold dead hands.

I...I understand what you're saying, Macho.

Is it too early for reports on how Palat is skating/handling the puck. He seemed to not have any hands at all last year.

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Well Ceddy is out there!

 

[Vasilevskiy]

He was flying yesterday and I want him on the 2C spot. I would put him with Palat and Stammer (if Palat keeps playing like yesterday)

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

He was Definitely a bright spot

 

[LightningStrikes]

5-game point streak with 4 goals and 4 assists for 8 points. The guy's been amazing!

Should be 5 goals after tonight but whatever.

It is not lost on me that #71 scores his first hat trick in a game with a score of... 7-1.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

For the cap sake I hope not. I'll be happy with a nice 50-55 point season. If he's gets 25 goals or 60 points that's more money we need to come up with.

Somehow we manage to send guys to the lower lines once they’ve been paid, and set guys up for career years when they are about to be free agents

I'm shocked we haven't put Shattenkirk on the 1st PP yet.

Hi, Caps fan here. I was digging into Lars Eller's stats and how rare it is to have get point production from guys who spend a ton of time on the PK, and I came across Cirelli's even more impressive season along the way. So here's a fun fact for you guys: Cirelli's currently on pace for 59 points and just under 240 PK minutes, and no player in the last decade has hit those marks simultaneously (the closest are Ryan Kesler and Tomas Plekanec). I'm admittedly just stat-watching and haven't seen much of his actual play, but what he's doing this season seems really impressive, especially at age 22.

Cirelli is a dreamboat.

That sounds about in line with what we're seeing, really. He's a lot like Kesler, really, role-wise, except not nearly so much of a ****.
