When you can put your 19 year old top playmaking prospect with a guy who has one even strength goal in 27 games, you simply gotta.I’m not really sure Wennberg and Smith even make sense together. Smith can shoot, sure, but they’re both pass-first guys, leaving… Barclay Goodrow as the finisher.
It’s about Wennberg hitting utahs defense with magnum they will be stunned and it will open up a lane for smith to shootWhen you can put your 19 year old top playmaking prospect with a guy who has one even strength goal in 27 games, you simply gotta.
I don't want Celebrini to be "fine", want him to thrive, those two of on such different paths I'd like to see them separate at even strengthCelebrini and Smith should play together. It’s the best thing for Smith’s development. Celebrini can play with anyone and be fine.
Fine wasn’t really the right word. I think Celebrini will thrive with any combination of the other top 6ish forwards on the team. Smith needs more help, and can learn the most from Celebrini.I don't want Celebrini to be "fine", want him to thrive, those two of on such different paths I'd like to see them separate at even strength
Celebrini is on pace for 35 goals and 66 points in 70 games while providing break even defense in a bad defensive environment
Smith is on pace for 15 goals and 33 points in 74 games while being a poor defender himself
Celebrini is a top-6 center, Smith is a developmental project, these who are not on the same track and shouldn't be playing together, Celebrini should have the luxury of playing with linemates who can keep up with him
Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Zetterlund-Granlund-Smith
I would try that for once Toffoli is available, I hate to break up 72-71-20 but I think Toffoli compliments that line better than he does the Granny/Smith pairing
Don't go to McDonald's after the game thoughUHC? Hoping for some accurate shooting from the boys tonight.
Anything would be an upgrade over those godawful ECHL names. I'd take Seattle Yelling Fish Throwers or Mediocre Coffee Tycoons over the Kraken..
Trying to keep it safe so we’re stuck in Reno for this game, have to find somewhere to watch it, maybe throw some money on the Sharks tonight.
