Goodness Drury...

Goodness Drury...
Not to mention what rebuilding teams would want to give up a pp2 guy for an impending UFA when we have a stupid amount of really good prospects even assuming we're flat out not trading Jarvis or Drury?
They could be back for the Ottawa game if it was in Raleigh. They will play against Florida. Luckily, for us, they will get 4 solid skate days before their first game back.Do we have a ETA on when our first diagnosed guys will be able to get back in? 4 more off days and we're pretty close to the 10-day isolation being over for them, yes?
My bad. I suck at HF lately (and sports fandom in general). Logged in and didn't see a GDT, didn't see anything about who gets the next one, but probably didn't look hard enough. I shall step aside.@Finnish Jerk Train MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WE SHALL ROTATE
NoSo once fully healthy, can Rod bring himself to slot Staal with Lorentz/Martinook and Stepan and let Koko Miami run with some talent on his wings?
TDA sets the table on quite a bit of our offensive attack, to be honest. More than I really appreciated before he was out.What blows my mind is we're scoring more (5 Goals) with 1/3 of our roster being AHL players than we were when we were only missing Bear or Peace/TDA
I mean at this point, Jordo should be our 4C with KK or Drury locking down 3C. I want to see an extended look of Drury this year at the NHL level. He looks like a natural fit, plenty physical, good playmaking ability with a good shot. And he quietly dominates the faceoff circle. I know we've been talking about KK as our possible 2C next year, but theres a non-0 chance it could be Drury given how he's looked so far (and how he looked in the preseason as well).So once fully healthy, can Rod bring himself to slot Staal with Lorentz/Martinook and Stepan and let Koko Miami run with some talent on his wings?

He's a nice guy and all, but he's a boat anchor on the offense, and his defense is not worth that cap hit for a team desperate for cap room. Trouble is that he has that NMC, and I don't think he'll consent to going anywhere.Donny Wads MUST show his gigantic gonads and remove Staal from the equation.

Ultimately, he really should be demoted to the 4th line, because having a 6M 4th line center is probably the best of a lot of crappy options. Maybe try to talk him into retiring or moving on in the offseason.
