I’ll be at the game tomorrow so temper your expectations

 

[stevo61]

I dont know if I'm emotionally ready for regular season hockey

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I take it LDBB and Pyyhtia arent coming back up?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Hasn't been in the NHL since 2017.

Legit never heard of him

 

[GoJackets1]

A lot of Sillinger shade from people not acknowledging that he's taking some of the most unfavorable forward assignments w/r/t d-zone starts.

Guy plays tough minutes and advanced stats still struggle to compensate for (un)sheltered play. The guy is a young, better Boone Jenner, and just like Fantilli people don't appreciate that he's being coached, at 21, to fully develop his 200ft game. The difference is that Fantilli got called up to 1C for a stretch midway through his education in the same, and Silly probably never will.

A lot of crow will be eaten in 2-3 years when this 21-year-old's prime actually starts. He's still younger than most players are when they even step foot on the ice, and he's already chalked 271 games. Most of which were played when we were utter dogsh*t.

He's going to be an absolute monster in his prime. He won't ever score 80-100pts, but he'll be more valuable than Mitch Marner when it really counts. Mark it.

I'm not worried about Sillinger down the road. I still think he would have been better off not playing in the NHL at 18. He will be a valuable player. Experience will be helpful.

However, lets not forget that Sillinger was in effect our first line center at times during his rookie season. If I recall he played a lot with Voracek that year. His offensive ceiling is probably 50 points at this point.

I take it LDBB and Pyyhtia arent coming back up?

I suspect with the return of Boone, the thought was let LDBB get big minutes in the AHL and maybe Labate is a better fit on the 4th line than Pyyhtia, who can also play higher in the lineup and more minutes in the AHL.

I'm a little surprised they haven't sent Sillinger down yet.

[Napoli]

I much rather see LDBB centering the 2nd line. Guess you can always put Jenner there too. Maybe they want Luca to continue to progress which I can't hate on but Cole isnt a top 6 forward. I also think Pyythia should be in the NHL, good pker.

JVR scored last game and has 16 pts in his last 18 games.

He's now been moved down to the 4th line with Kuraly and LaBate.

A second line of JVR - Jenner - KJ would make so much more sense.

 

[ViD]

If Chinakhov is not coming back this year, we need another winger

 

[DankoCBJ]

Bring us the Goose, Don!

Voronkov-Fantilli-Marchenko
KJ-Jenner-Nyquist
JvR-Sillinger-Danforth
ZAR-Kuraly-Olivier

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

Bring us the Goose, Don!

Voronkov-Fantilli-Marchenko
KJ-Jenner-Nyquist
JvR-Sillinger-Danforth
ZAR-Kuraly-Olivier

If they do acquire Nyquist, I'd be curious to try a top 6 along the lines of:
Johnson-Jenner-Marchenko
Voronkov-Fantilli-Nyquist

 

[ViD]

Bring us the Goose, Don!

Voronkov-Fantilli-Marchenko
KJ-Jenner-Nyquist
JvR-Sillinger-Danforth
ZAR-Kuraly-Olivier

Why not Bjork ?

 

[MoeBartoli]

A second line of JVR - Jenner - KJ would make so much more sense.

Exactly!

Me too, seen them in Minnesota a couple times. This'll be my first time at Nationwide!!

 

[koteka]

What do the guys in the locker room call LaBate?

 

[S1N4TR4]

What do the guys in the locker room call LaBate?

master bater

 

[DankoCBJ]

Why not Bjork ?

I would welcome Bjorkstrand with open arms but he wont come cheap compared to Nyquist. I think adding Gus is far more probable move at this point.
