Line Combos: CBJ Roster Discussion/Line Combos/Injury Report

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Found out recently that Olivier has been with y'all for three seasons and CBJ fans never picked up his "Biloxi Bull" nickname. I need you guys to get on that ASAP!

No.

His teammates call him Ollie, so I guess I have kinda stuck with that.

It's not like he grew up in Mississippi. He was just born there because his dad was playing. Also we're Ohioans--what do we care about the South?

Lancaster native William Tecumseh Sherman did not burn Atlanta for me to acknowledge a Quebecois hockey player was born in Mississippi.

Brutal hit to the playoff chances. At least LDBB is playing way better than anyone expected. He's a real diamond in the rough. Could be the kind of find that you need to be a great team.

Merde

Not sure if im the only one but sure seems like Monhan really meshed well with Voronkov and since he has been out he hasnt fit in as well.

Monhan would slow the game down for him, where Fantilli and Marchy are playing the game bit faster then him

saying that this is the lines I would roll until he comes back

Also saying we trade provy. Im not fan of his, sure he eats min and plays ok game but hes not worth what he wants.

Also have Tarasov going to AHL. Clear or not hes lost enough games this year for me. jet has looked great and think he would be perfect 1B for elvis. Has great pad work and glove!

Doesn't Monahan and an extended Nelson block the young centers vs bridge to the kids?

If you could sign Nelson to a 2 year deal, then they'd be in position to hand off center duties to Fantilli at age 22, which sounds about right to my mind. But of course the club's plan, we can assume, is to keep Fantilli at center throughout.

Does 33 year old Nelson sign a 2 year deal? I have some doubts

I really think we’re fine at center right now. Monahan being out sucks but he’ll be back. Long term it seems like LDBB can play. Hopefully Lindstrom is able to play again.

I think we need a top 6 winger and another top 4 D, as well as a goalie (although Elvis may change things if he continues like this).

At this point I am read to move on from Sillinger. Quality guy with more potential still, but I think he has been passed by LDBB already and will be passed by Lindstrom quickly as well (pending health). Finding an upgrade on D or a legit wing to play with Fantilli and bring out his full potential are more valuable to the team now and into the future. Plus Sillinger is probably the odd man out once KJ, Mo, Marchy, Vronk and a few others get paid.

I think LDBB could pass Sillinger, but he hasn’t yet. The eye test says he looks like he can play, but the shots for/against and possession metrics leave a bit to be desired. He will improve in those areas though.

I’m curious what they do with him once we start getting guys back (still not an imminent problem, as 4, 38, 23, 59 seem a ways away). He’s playing about 14 mins a night which is already low, but I think it’s going to be harder to find ice time. Personally I think he’s earned to stick around for a bit.
