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

[Xoggz22]

When fully healthy (minus Chinakhov because you can’t count on him)

Voronkov-Monahan-Marchenko
Jenner-Fantilli-KJ
JVR-Sillinger-Olivier
ZAR-Kuraly-Danforth
LaBate (or a different extra)

Werenski-Fabbro
Provorov-Severson
Mateychuk-Gudbranson
Christiansen, Johnson

Harris waived (or they carry 8 D and run 7 D sometimes)

I like that, but would still like to see a little more skill/2-way play in the bottom 6.

No shit. I feel the the sentence after that kinda covered that part.

It negated it.

 

[Forsbergaura21]

So what is going on with Chinakov at this point?

Any updates?

Recurring back pain. Soft tissue, no surgery needed. It just keeps tightening up on him when he plays. There's no timetable because they don't know how to fix it.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Do you give Tarasov the net against Dallas and hold Elvis for the Detroit games? Or full speed ahead for Elvis for all 3?

 

[Crede777]

I have to give Sillinger credit - last night looked like perhaps his best game this season. He did well especially on regaining puck possession leading to Johnson's first goal.

 

[CBJ goalie]

I was thinking about this.
I say give Elvis the Dallas game, then Tarasov the 1st Red Wings game on Thursday.
The Elvis gets the outdoor game.

*p.s..Soooo pumped to go to that outdoor game

 

[stevo61]

I'd probably give Elvis all 3. Its not like any are b2b plus there is a multi day break before the Dallas game after an extended break

If you can slide Olivier down and fill that spot with a middle 6 W I’d feel a lot better. 3 points in his last 22GP.

 

[MoeBartoli]

At this point the FO should look to build their top 9 without Chinakov. I’m not trading him now but to rely on him returning as a regular fixture just isn’t prudent. Rather they should fill that spot thru a trade/acquisition. If Chinakov does return and shows he can stay healthy that’s great. It gives the team roster flexibility. But right now it’s just not a healthy situation to place a high confidence level in him being the solution to our hole in the top 9.

Considering our injury history, we should get a couple more solid top 9 forwards regardless
