Rather see Vrana in over Lappy but whatever. At least we're trying Miro in Ovis spot.

I think if both players are equally meh at the moment I’d rather play Lapierre than Vrana, just because Vrana isn’t a potential long term player. Im not opposed to Lapierre playing first line minutes in Hershey for a bit, but while he’s here I don’t mind him playing.

Get what you're saying but Vrana in about the same amount of games is on pace for around 20 goals, 35 points. Lappy has 0 goals and two assists so far. Vrana gives us a better chance to win hockey games at the moment.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. I feel like they want to see a little more if being on the wing helps Lapierre, since he’s only done it once so far. Better to do it now than to wait for later so you can make your decision faster. I will say, if Miro comes in and plays well it puts a lot of pressure on Lapierre, he could end up heading back down instead or Miro if that happens

Good. Lindgren’s demise has been greatly exaggerated. No reason to end the rotation after 1 1/2 months.

This is interesting to me. I think Pro being better on the left is probably why OV was playing on the right. But i like getting our lines back together. I also like giving Lappy a second game at wing.
