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

I really liked him as a junior player, but yeah, he hasn't done much in the NHL.

The chart and what reports I can read make it look like he can at least contribute effectively on the PK. So, yeah, that's a useful skill. But otherwise IDK.

I remember when we rolled out some very good 4th lines……and now I’m watching Fischer-Kuraly-LaBate.

Did we roll out good fourth lines when this many (there are still two) roster mainstays are hurt? Also, I thought I saw Chinakov was moved to Kuraly's line?

I wouldn't guess that Fischer is any better than Pyyhtia, but it does help Cleveland to be able to put Pyyhtia down there. We've got some prospect down there that need support.

I'm struggling to remember the last time we had a fully healthy forward group lineup.

Also, I thought I saw Chinakov was moved to Kuraly's line?

Yes, Chinakhov - Kuraly - Labate (and I imagine Fischer replaces Labate when he arrives).

Yegor Chinakhov - Sean Kuraly - Christian Fischer ?

Yes, Chinakov is probably on the 4th line tonight. But as to LaBate and Fischer…..the former isn’t a has been because he’s a never was and Fischer looks like as a statistically non productive forward as you’ll find.

I do hope to never again see them once a couple more guys return.
