Who are all?
Gaudette, Highmore and Hamonic
Who are all?
For some reason I always mistake Highmore for Halliday. Didn't realize Highmore was 29 and not a prospect. I agree about Gaudette too. He's a decent offensive player, but not someone I still fully trust in the D zone. Since Zetterlund has been added to that line I trust them more.Gaudette, Highmore and Hamonic
Something I'm looking to see from Staios is how he handles coaches favourites. If he lets go of Gaud and Hamonic while finding adequate replacements (which are all league min players probably) that'll be a huge green flag. Green is doing a great job, but he has his flaws as well. A GM that can act as a 'check' when coaches overplay certain players (especially in situations where there's alternatives available) is refreshing.Gaudette, Highmore and Hamonic
For a top 6 guy like you I'd be happy to share one of my several SN+ account logins. The catch is you gotta admit that our rebuild is WAAAY ahead of Montreal's...I f***ed up though, I changed the whole TV/Internet/mobility provider and didn't know but they don't have PVR even if owned the same company! I f***ed up big and will get it back once we move in a few months.

Gaudette is 1st in ga/60, 3rd in xGA/60
Highmore is 7th in ga/60 and 1st in xGA/60.
Added bonus. Gaudette is 1st in gf/60.
I'm not much for some of these advanced stats, I certainly don't live and die by them. But these two players are contributing in limited roles.
It was great, but it only happened because he made the incredible play of somehow turning the puck over on a 4-on-2.And don’t forget that epic Highmore-backcheck-to-knock-a-sure-goal-out-of-the-air-at-a-critical-time-of-the-game moment
Riiiiight….. but that was so 15 seconds earlier though….It was great, but it only happened because he made the incredible play of somehow turning the puck over on a 4-on-2.

I'd like to see Zetterlund up in the lineup, but no way does Green push Greig down. 3rd line is playing too well to push anyone down, and Perron is playing well on the 2nd. Really hoping Zetterlund can get more than 10 minutes in a game though, even if its more special teams.Now that the win streak is over it's time to give Zetterlund a shot in a scoring role.
It's difficult to push anyone in the top 9 down to the 4th line and condemn them to playing beside Gaudette and Highmore, but Zetterlund has put in his time.
As great as Greig has been recently, I would move him down to the 4th line center role, as Gaudette clearly isn't a centerman due to his lack of speed and overall game, and there's no one else on the current roster that can play up the middle.
Would continue to give him plenty of special teams ice-time to make up for playing on the 4th line at even strength.
Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Perron - Cozens - Batherson
Zetterlund - Pinto - Amadio
Highmore - Greig - Gaudette
With Greig playing as much as hes been lately, I doubt Green moves him down to the 4th. That being said, its hard to pick who else would be moved down. I think Amadio would make the most sense long term, but hes been money lately so that's another tough one. Brady is clearly hurt, maybe he'll sit a game and we can see it more organically?Now that the win streak is over it's time to give Zetterlund a shot in a scoring role.

I would be up for it if we replace the wingers on the 4th line with more size and physicality ,, Reinhardt and MacEwen for example.Now that the win streak is over it's time to give Zetterlund a shot in a scoring role.

Greig needs players to work with to make that 4th line more than it is now.. I don't think Zetterlund would fill Greig's skates in a 3rd line , checking role though. If we are going reduce the 3rd line we should strengthen the 4th line..
If you can get Green the message or get Staios/Bowness to do the transactions and leave Green no opions.
Its a plus for Highmore; but not convinced he couldn't be replaced.. I think Cousins should replace him when he's backI suspect the main reason Highmore stays in the lineup is he's a left-shot guy that Green trusts on the second penalty kill unit. They don't have a ton of left-shot options to begin with, after Greig, and Highmore seems to have won the job over Reinhardt.

He's playing too much actually. Greig should not be leading this team in ice time for forwards.
Have him lock down the 4th line C role and continue to let him play lots of special teams minutes. It's not like he'll be hurting for ice time.
Amadio could make sense too but he's been even better than Greig lately and he's a winger. Gaudette can't play center at this level and should be moved back to RW.
100%. Couldn't agree more! Can they jettison Gaudette if MacEwan is ready to return? Before the playoffs I'd like to see:Its a plus for Highmore; but not convinced he couldn't be replaced.. I think Cousins should replace him when he's back
