Goalie Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm sorry but Laine has been fine. He's adjusting to the north American rinks and is showing that he is not just some goal score . He's showing that he can play a defensively responsible game. Just saying but Kichton was sent down... put on waivers.... guess 1 game means nothing. Paul Maurice even says to not read in to pre season games that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I agree with a lot of this except Morrissey as the 7D. No way do they press box Morrissey. He has earned a starting role on the team. I believe they keep Dano around until Matthias gets back. I wonder if Lowry sees much press box if his pre-season play doesn't improve? I like Armia playing with Laine and Little. ESW is a given and Maurice has been saying this from the end of last season. He also said that eventually Ehlers should go back to his RW spot. He will probably shelter Connor a bit on the 3rd but that line too has so me potential. I really want to see what Laine an dConnor can do on opposite sides on the PP.

Goalie Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 It really means very little. Morrissey was also paired with Buff and Myers at practice today. But wow. If that is what they are thinking.... Lowry over Copp? Thorburn actually on the starting roster? Stu and Chiarot over Morrissey? And with the 1st overall pick in the 2017 draft the Winnipeg Jets select from The WHL Brandon Wheat Kings... Nolan Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Patrick I'm not a huge fan of either Chiarot or Stuart but what has Morrissey done to earn a spot? Likewise with Copp vs Lowry. Has Copp been so much better than Lowry that you keep him up on a 2-way deal instead of Lowry on a 1-way? Seems to me they've been pretty even. I think you're overreacting. Declaring the team to be in contention for the next first overall pick because of some 50/50 decisions on bottom-of-the-roster spots. These decisions aren't going to determine the success of the team. Judd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 The ESW line isn't playing tonight? The LLA line will be getting a lot of attention. Why isn't Peluso on the farm already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the jury is still out on whether Morrissey is NHL ready. With Trouba MIA sure would be nice if Morrissey shines. He'll be doing a lot of covering for Buff :-) Edited October 6, 2016 by HardCoreBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Morrissey is more nhl ready than Chiarot melchiori strait and Stuart. I think he makes the team. If he doesn't. .. the decision making process needs to be questioned. Enstrom right now is our only legit nhl calibre lhd. Morrissey has looked the next best. If they take Chiarot or Melchiori or Strait over Morrissey.... I don't know what to say then. Ducky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 It's been covered already but to sum up, tonight's lines: Patrik Laine – Bryan Little – Joel Armia Kyle Connor – Mathieu Perreault – Alexander Burmistrov Brandon Tanev – Adam Lowry – Chris Thorburn Chase De Leo – Andrew Copp – Anthony Peluso Josh Morrissey – Dustin Byfuglien Ben Chiarot – Tyler Myers Mark Stuart – Paul Postma Connor Hellebuyck The Lowry line has a very good chance of being our 4th line this year. However I am intrigued by the Copp line. There's a reason they're taking a long look at De Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wow, that is our D corps if Enstrom gets hurt, wow... I still say De Leo, Petan, Peluso, Tanev all go down. Dano will as soon as Matthias gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 How do you send Tanev down when he's actually earned a spot. I don't think you can. I think its possible Burmistrov is waived to the moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Here's how I have our D pairings Buff Toby Myers Morrissey Postma Stuart Not sure which 1 of melchiori strait or Chiarot sticks as the 7th D. I don't think they keep 8 D. Because bottom line.... I don't think its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) DeLeo, Peluso. Petan, Lemieux. Those the only forwards I can safely say are Moose bound. The rest of tough because of their contracts/waivability. If they drop Burmi then changes are coming. Lowry decent game.

The Unknown Poster Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 They really have little choice but to sign Trouba or swing a deal for a D. Im surprised, to an extent, they havent already. Doesnt have to be a world-beater, but someone who can play the mid-four every night. What's Kris Russell doing?

The Unknown Poster Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 This is Gary's opening night lines: Ehlers-Scheif-Wheeler Laine-Little-Armia Connor-Perreault-Stafford Tanev-Copp-Lowry Matthias Hurt. Dano doesnt make the team. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Tanev-Copp-Lowry? Not gonna happen. Top 9 looks about right though. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
