Player Discussion Emil Heineman (Part 2) - Get well soon Edition

We *definitely* miss him
Especially because Pezzeta has become unplayable..

It's definitely finally caught up to the team a bit
We'll look so much better when he's back
Really looking forward to Heineman being back, at 100%.

I would like to see if RHP can add something that Pez can't, even though RHP is slower...
 
And Pez has? Over the last 5 years?
He’s faster, bigger, has fought (not well but still has) hits constantly when he’s out there. Aside from RHP’s first call up when he was scoring at an unsustainable rate, he’s just as useless. If I choose between the 2 playing 5 minutes a night, I could go either way, but I’d probably choose Pezz. RHP is even more useless playing a 4th line role.

Yeah i agree but neither are NHL players. Habs need serious depth.
I'm looking forward to Heineman coming back - to see if he can get us back to at least close to the team we were when he was in the lineup.

One question in my mind is, if we were to bring in someone else, who would sit in a healthy lineup? At the end of the day it's a good problem to have, and my answer is I would have no problem sitting Dvorak.

I agree that Pez brings energy and actually some speed and also toughness. But Pez is prone to boneheaded turnovers and penalties. RHP at his best is pretty smart with the puck and I think could play well with Evans and Armia. Yes, I'm remembering the first call up RHP, who was very far from useless...

Is the someone else you're bringing in a Center because if they aren't, then Dvo isn't sitting

Ideally Newhook moves to the bottom six, as the someone else brought in is a top 6 forward. So would Newhook be a better bottom six C than Dvo? I'd have to see. If Newhook isn't, then he's just not a bottom 6 C and is only a bottom 6 winger. Because Dvo isn't exactly a great bottom 6 C.
