Who sits when Muzzin returns

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Didn't expect that it had gone 5 pages about this positive discussion. It's better than the team had no choice to dress Marincin last two years.

Tough choice, Holl or Lily
 
Holl is a hole in Leafs defence. Bad pinches all the time, soft, can’t clean the crease, can’t fight, weak on boards. But stats are good as usual.

OMIGOD you played GTHL!?!?!?
CTRL+F if you need help on your sheet.
Holl is #3 on the blue and white team, btw.

You can usually find him being blown by on the outside with a weak stick check attempt that puts him off balance, getting pushed around behind his own red line and way too deep in the o-zone for a guy who you may even beat in a race on skates.

He’s the weakest link. Keefe has an affinity for him that is unexplainable. He will be targeted by every opponent because he’s big, slow and has horribly low hockey IQ.

GTHL vet has spoken.

No room for any other opinion, or any actual facts.
 
when is Muzzin suppose to come back?
I'd like to know as well. I think the reason they didn't and use the cap space for a trade was so he could come back before the playoffs and get some games in to get up to speed. I am not sure of the cap implications now, I think they are in a bit of a bind, but they play 3D chess with the cap so nothing surprises me anymore. He's practicing with the red jersey still anyway.

It's down to Holl/Boosh for that final spot. Boosh has his value in a playoff series when there's no rules. His crosschecking and physical play is a pain in the ass to be up against for 2 weeks. I'm glad we spent next to nothing to get him instead of a 1st on Chariot lmao

Liljergen does not deserve to sit in any way shape or form. He's played too good

Maybe they can alternate Holl and Muzzin in the lineup? Muzzin’s game and health can’t be relied upon. Holl is very up and down.

I’m excited to see what kind of development can happen for Liljegren in big minutes beside Giordano. All due respect to Rielly in the lead role, but he’s not a Gio level defender whose been known to elevate young guys.
I agree that this is the best scenario. Muzz is not going to be playoff game conditioned when he returns. You don't want him being a step behind, when he already was a step behind in "top" form. Rotate in and out depending on opponents and game situations.
 
6 hits for Lyub last night and Keefe relying on him more and more. Look the detractor”s” didn’t like him the moment he hit the ice and obviously aren’t actually watching. Nobody is claiming he’s Norris calibre, but if you can’t see he’s effective in some key areas, you simply don’t know shit about the game. Seriously. Guy has been a nice addition.

I sit Holl, Lil is getting better and better and Lyub is good on PK, don't need him there.
He was very solid last night in what was, in essence, a playoff game.

Great point! I like this a lot.
hell 10-8 isn't a bad idea either. It will save Keefe from over playing the 4th line lol
Its going to get real crowded on the back end when Sandin is back
If it was up to me
Rielly-Lilj
Gio-Brodie
Muzzin-Lub
Sandin/Holl swap games as the 7th till 1 separates or some one in the top 6 struggles.
