GDT: Game #6: Boston vs Utah HC - 7:00pm MDT - Utah16, UtahHC+

I think Carcone is gone by the deadline. He deserves a spot on a team that needs more scoring. Bring in a reliable bottom 6 two-way forward for him.

We need to somehow manage to fit Maccelli into the top 6. Him on the fourth line is not an ideal mix.

Agreed, though. I think Carcone is headed out at some point.

Crouse, McBain and Kesselring?

None of those guys hits hard. McBain on occasion will hit hard, but it's like 1 in 5 hits, he'll put some punishment on it. Crouse, 1 in 20, Kesselring not so much

Now having said that, everyone knows I've not been the biggest fan of Kesselring, but he's turned the corner defensively. He's still not a shutdown guy, but with what he brings offensively, he is going to help this team.

I wish we had someone who can hit hard…the Bruins creamed us physically..surprised no one was hurt

We need a Raffi Torres type. O'Brien isn't that, no one on the team is that.

Also wanted to note that Yamamoto is way better than Carcone & O'Brien

Stenlund is an anchor for Maccelli, but having Yamamoto with him will certainly help

Time to put Carcone on waivers

whats up with Carcone ? He played pretty well, overall, last season.

He will be a victim of the numbers game when Bjugstad returns.

4 - 1. Kesselring, Guenther, Crouse and Maccelli scores.

Maccelli comes from Finland and did a goal.

I disagree. While Crouse has calmed down a bit, McBain hits to hurt. He is a big, bad man.

I liked Yamamoto a lot on that 4th line. It went from useless (Carcone and O'Brien) to probably Utah's best line early on. Maccelli IS wasted a bit not playing top 6 mins but if he has someone who can keep the puck, it's not the worst thing. There's just a lot of depth on this team which is a great thing.

 

[Grimes]

I'm all for moving Maccelli for defensive help if it's the right player. Even after Schmaltz leave he will be competing with But and Iginla for a top six spot.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I want to see the current constructed team all healthy and playing before I move pieces
