I'm with you on this. I don't see any great situation for Reichel but the 4th line center between Maroon and Smith and it seems like he's doomed to fail. Trying him on the wing with Bedard and Teravainen wouldn't be good for the team but interesting to see.

Martinez is our 3rd best d man. I dont care if Allan draws back in enough to lose Martinez.
I didn't mean as in take his place when Martinez is healthy, but to push Brodie out of the lineup ideally (unlikely with that contract) or Kaiser if Kaiser regresses.
Martinez is a lock for the lineup when healthy. I've always liked him.

I think KD needs to start looking for a change of scenery swap for Reichel.

My defensive take: Assuming both Allan and Kaiser play tonight, we'll see if the defense suffers any as a result. Brodie was better last game but he is so weak in his board play which won't go unnoticed by Luke. Kaiser had a few questionable moments as well but that is to be expected for a young dman who has played only a few games early in the season. Kaiser is probably the best skater back there.

Foligno has played well but I'd like to see the trio of TT, Snipe and Hall to see if Hall's speed opens up more ice for the kid.

Why is Donato sitting 2 games in a row?

Yeah, except most of those guys have a bottom 6 type of game. Reichel is softer than baby shit, not to mention not a C.
But hey maybe this experiment of trying him in the bottom 6 for the 50th time will magically work this time while he's also playing out of position.

Richardson is a moron
There is no defending playing Reichel at C and between two washed up slugs
Its time for Davidson to start searching around league for another team's version of Reichel and do change of scenery swap since its clear Reichel doesn't fit what Davidson/Richardson want in player at htis point and it does nothing for Reichel confidence/efforts to find his game sitting in press box and then when actually playing being out of position and between crap on 4th line

Agree, it's a brain dead coaching move. There is absolutely nothing to be gained for either the Hawks or Reichel by playing him at #4 C.

I'll take Reichel in the bottom 6 over Maroon in the bottom 6, regardless of what type of game they have.
Looking forward to Reichel getting 8 minutes tonight between the two slowest forwards on the team. Richardson truly is an imbecile.
I'd rather neither, to be honest, and would play Donato or call up Dach to play over both of them.

Playing him at C makes zero sense. Not playing Donato makes zero sense. Craig Smith has brought nothing but neutral zone turnovers recently. Donato has been our best fourth liner. Better sit him twice.

I'd rather Donato in over Smith, Reichel over Smith and Maroon.

Nah, his skating is actually much better than I was expecting coming off that major knee injury.
Hopefully the hands come around a bit as he continues to knock some rust off.

For him being "done" he's like our 4th best forward atm.

I don't get that at all. Donato has a great attitude and his play reflected that. He was better than I can remember in the past.
Craig Smith is useless. There's absolutely no reason he should be playing over Donato. Richardson once again has his favorite useless plugs that he is obsessed with playing.

Every coach makes weird roster decisions. I try not to get too far into the weeds on it. Its annoying but whatever.
