These are all Ducharme level decisions. Eddy and Arber played great together - break them up!!!! Why give rookie a good partner?
I preferred the Bash Bros. pairing with X and Edmundson as it gave Arber a partner who he could learn from, since their styles are similar.

However, it doesn’t mean they won’t get back together, it’s just one game, MSL is just shaking things up.

Agreed with his decision to sit Kovacevic — he just didn’t have it against his prior team. Hopefully being sat, jolts him.

Harris is a rookie too and he plays a bigger role and way more minutes then Arber. It's more important to surround Harris with Edmundson and it's a better fit. Harris will have the possibility to support more the offence too.

I don't see a perfect fit with Harris, outside of having veteran player on his side. I thought that Edmundson was a better pairing for Arber for obvious reasons. However, nothing says what it'll be for the longer term, we'll find out soon enough.
 
Kovacevic will be a healthy scratch. Wideman will come back into the line-up and be paired with Xhekaj. Harris will be on the right of Edmundson.

Also, Hoffman comes back into the line-up and Pitlick will be a healthy scratch.




Perfect time to scratch Kovasevic honestly
Dipped his feet , got a good swim in, now it's time to take a lil step back and recalibrate a bit
 
Kovacevic was so bad vs the Jets this was inevitable and Pitlick too with his stupid penalties and overall ineffective play.

Lines are a mess. Bottom 2 lines = 0 chemistry 0 impact from these guys so far except that random hat trick by Dvorak.

Top 6: Suzuki, CC, Dach, Monahan, Anderson, Slafkovsky

Bottom 6: Dvorak, Gally, Evans

Endless pit of hellfire: everyone else

Predicting a loss unless Cole, Nick & the goalie have a great game and go anti-tank commando vs Vegas.

If everyone is healthy, there will be a rotation until Hugues finds a way to get rid of some bodies.
MSL has to deal with trying to keep everybody relatively happy and not create a distraction with that rotation (not going terribly well so far).

Injuries clouded the fact that Hugues really has to pull some move soon.....And Byron, Matheson are still out, imagine if MSL had to put them in the mix too.

Furk just realized X is already away from Ed… Maybe they want X with Matheson when he comes back… oh well.

Frankly, Arber and Guhle are being cut off at the knees, saddled with carrying defensemen who, even in their prime, were sub-standard; at this juncture, they have nothing to gain by playing alongside boat anchors like Edmundson and Savard. It's a blessing to be away from them, but if either player could be carried by a rookie, Harris is the one to do so.

Savard’s been great so far this year, and Edmundson is a solid 3-4 D, and is big and mean. Not sure how being the most used rookie in the league or making a direct jump from junior to the nhl line up as an undrafted player can be considered “being cut off at the knee”?

Yeah I think they’re making experiments to see who would play where (on D) when Matheson is back.

If the rookies keep it up Savard or Edmunson could move at the TDL. I think even Barron is not as untouchable as before since Kovacevic is a good stop gap for now.
 
... because after the 10 first minutes you are doing what your avatar do, lol.
I remember years ago going to a game in Montreal and my friends Pierre Gervais and Bobby Boulanger allowed us into the locker room after the game. My brother in law who lives in Montreal couldn't believe that someone who was American had that much influence. After the game he says...."its my turn" and took me to Chez Paree....that was one hell of a party.🤣🤣🤣
 
Hoffman/Monahan/Drouin......outch! 100% ozone starts for those boys.

Eddy playing RD to Harris could be interesting. MSL probably wants to see how Eddy plays there.
Slaf/Evans/Armia should be interesting too.
Opposite sides for Eddy and Harris (Harris on the right)

Otherwise on D eventually

Edmundson - Harris
Guhle - Savard
Xhekaj - Matheson

is actually an interesting mix, and surrounds the rookies on top of distributing icetime. Pair two vets I suppose when playing “top-heavy” teams at home like Toronto, Edmonton, etc
