I think Wennberg brings that #40 line down. I don't think he's ready. He's been right in the slot a few times and just doesn't seem to want to shoot the puck.

But a better fit at C with Matty and Cam?

It's pretty obvious Richards has all the faith in the world in Wennberg..he's not a goal scorer, he's a playmaker. He's always going to look to pass first, especially during his rookie season.

If McElhinney is hurt long term, might we look to sign legendary Marty brodeur to backup?

He's not making bad plays, I just don't him as a good consistent playmaker...Yet

can't wait for 17 and 38 to return


and if I ever see 47 in a BlueJacket uniform again after tonight I am gonna bye his bobblehead so I can smash it to pieces

Its his first season in the NHL, it will come with time. His first season in the SHL was good, but his second he showed a much more round game.

But yes I cannot wait to have them back either. I actually think a 38-17-41 line would be pretty effective, lots of cycling and banging bodies!

I know but he just doesn't look like his old self anymore. He's not that old

Compared to someone like Scottie Upshall, who always looked like he was doing something, then you realize 12 games later that he has 1 goal and 1 assist.
