Player Discussion Shane Pinto (C) - PART 2

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I doubt he'd be interested anyways. Trotz said a big reason they "hit" in free agency was the tax advantages, so presumably Marchessault won't want to give that up to move to Canada.

 

[Dionysus]

That’s a tough contract for 4 1/2 more years at 34.

With the cap going up so much, having term will be changing to a positive over the next couple years. Trying to add free agents will be increasingly expensive.

Trading for players with term signed before this upcoming off-season may become much more desirable for teams.

 

[BondraTime]

Perron didn't win the Conn Smythe 2 years ago and isn't 1 season removed from 40+ goals.

Marchessault is aging much better and would easily be the trigger man on the PP2.

He didn’t win a Smyth, for sure, he put up 16 points in his Cup run at 30 and then put up 22 points in 21 playoff games in his 33 and 34 year old seasons.

You drop off a cliff, quickly, in your mid 30’s. Trading for a 5 year contract of a guy heading into his 35 year old season is bound to bite whomever in the ass.

Moving from PP1 to PP 2 turns you from a 60 point guy to a 45 point guy, and then taking into account he’s, extremely likely, going to be slowing down every year remaining on that contract, it’s going to make it difficult for any team.

If he doesn’t need surgery I’ll take that as a win.

Guessing rotator cuff... depending on severity he may not need an operation this year

I had an operation to repair mine.. along with a detached bicep ; I dealt with mine for a few years..

I’ve had 2 rotator cuffs, definitely couldn’t raise my arm like he did, after initially doing it. Cortisone shot helped though after one of them.

I've dislocated a shoulder playing hockey. It took me over a week to raise my arm to head level and it hurt to do that. What he did walking down the tunnel, geez I couldn't do that that easily for probably a month

Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women!

 

[OD99]

Have we not called anyone up?

Are we going to put Manti up on a wing, or what? We would have to go with 7 D, as I don't think we have an extra body up front.

 

[ThaShow]

Or Pinto is fine, hopefully

He didn’t take part in the morning skate.

If Ullmark is healthy. I'm not sure why we're not going with him again tonight.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Yikes. Gut check time. Wonder why Ullmark isn't playing with the day off in between.

 

[Senscore]

Genuinely confused about what Green is thinking here

 

[Dan Patrick]

Genuinely confused about what Green is thinking here

Got to think this is a request directly from ullmark to only play in two of the games this week before the four nations. Otherwise, yeah with days off in between he should be starting every game

 

[BondraTime]

Going to need to trade for a very clear upgrade, otherwise the Ham isn’t coming out.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Forsberg starting?
No Pinto?
Hamonic still in?

What in the world is going on....

Ullmark not 100%
Pinto likely gone for a good while
Green doesn't have the balls to sit Hamonic

I don't even think Hamonic is that bad....

 

[TheNewEra]

Green didnt rule out Pinto for Florida's game which is amazing news in the grand scheme of things

i have a bad feeling pinto coming back in the lineup depends of if we get a win tonight. I hope we do so he can rest over the break instead of us panic playing him due to the tight race

Green says Pinto won't play tonight but not ruled out for Saturday in Florida.

I think Green applied the same logic with Ullmark. His first game in 44 days was a tough one where he faced over 30 shots, so they are right to manage his workload to keep his back in shape while Forsberg is in form to do the job tonight. Ullmark will see his share of workloads in the 4 Nations, so keeping him healthy for the stretch is a priority. I expect Ullmark to start more after the tournament.

If Pinto isn't in the IR already, I see it as positive news. The MRI hopefully came out negative.

Nice, I may have been wrong (or Green is trying to not make us panic haha)

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

That is excellent news.

Forsberg confirmed
Vasi looks like he can do the 2 games and not Linus??
Weird
