It’s twofold. You can’t play this teams style without reliably rolling four lines and also using depth forwards on the PK. When you can do that everyone is fresh and more effective.
No doubt, but I would think any acquisition comes from a trade as opposed to a waiver claim. What are the chances the type of player the Devils want and can afford cap wise gets wiaved and makes it to us?
This is why I was fine with JG going over to Columbus we have enough of smallish skilled guys. Nothing wrong with the ones we have. I love Hughes obviously but, we need some jam up front. Doesn't have to be even super high end.
How is four points out of a wild card spot, inclusive of our massive winning streak, a good spot to be in.
Huh? 4 balanced lines is now something that is out of desperation?
Ehhhh. Thats not a demotion. It’s not really a 4th line. They obviously are trying to get all 4 lines rolling again. Also, didn’t we all want Holtz to play with talent? There it is. Also, like it or not, Haula has been one of the few players to keep up with Hughes. They tried Sharangovich there and it kept failing miserably. 56 86 63 is a play driving machine.
Wait a sec..Meanwhile the Rangers are now 3 points behind us. How heartwarming is that?
I think a waiver wire pickup is likely because we are missing the exact type of players to hit waivers. Even just passable jag forwards like Kuhlman/Hunt/Balcers could be useful right now. Johnsson and Holtz both don’t look like they can keep up and Boqvist is slipping there too.
