Protas, Spellacy, Greentree, Nesbitt, Morneau, Davis, Belchetz, Lemieux are in my Top 9 for the second half. I was fine keeping Outwater in there and moving Abraham, but if Outwater is in fact out, I’m more on board with keeping Abraham.
I like Garden and his speed, but he plays his size right now, he’ll improve.
Martins gritty, plays tough, relatively smart as well. Lower ceiling on offensive output.
Gaymes, plays dumb more often than not but seems to settle down with a few more minutes. Seems he has the skill when needed as shown early, but welcoming to mix it up. I really like his versatility to play a few different styles, but he’s not a top line guy, obviously. Plus not being a giant, he can put more into his hits and is less likely to accidentally clip a head
Maybe not mixed together, but that rounds out our forward group, and for this year, I don’t hate it.
Wouldn’t mind one more depth forward with potential, ideally an 07/08 to put out more of a skilled bottom line and to allow Martin and Gaymes to protect teammates and not hold back so much from their game.
Back to the preseason talks of, “Wish we could dress more of our 08’s”. Seems even sillier to say sitting at #1 in the West Division by 8 games, halfway through the season lol
