In fact I wouldn't be totally shocked if none of them made it and they all start in the AHL to begin the season. But I would give the slight edge to Ruby to male it. I have no doubt it won't happen. But it's what I would do. I'm tired of plugs who are there solely to fill a role. Fill your roles with your best players. Get ahead of the curve. Eliminate the "energy" 4th line that plays 7 minutes a night. Put guys with skill there and let them play the same game as the top lines. Don't worry if you don't get them away from top line competition all the time. Vary ice time based on which lines are doing well, while still trying to keep it relatively even depending on score. Special teams is where you can get your absolute best guys the extra minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be open to try for sure. That would be the "best lineup". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Just read Meltzer's latest blog and he says Patrick is not in camp due to a UBI. Has not been cleared to be on the ice? Any one hear anything about his injury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm all for playing Farabee or Frost up in the lineup and spreading the talent around the middle six. Giroux - Couturier - Frost/Farabee JVR - Hayes - Konecny Lindblom - Patrick - Voracek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Honestly, the Patrick injury might be a good thing. It opens up that 3C spot for someone like Frost to get time to start the season. If he can make it impossible to send him down when Patrick is healthy, then maybe he forces one of the Raffls or Pitlicks down to LHV and AV balances the line times out like I suggested earlier.

OccamsRazor Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) “I’m very disappointed that TK is not here,” new coach Alain Vigneault added. “It’s the start of a new era, new group. Felt it was very important for everybody to be here. With my time in the NHL, my experience, anybody that falls behind, a lot of time whether it’s an injury or in TK’s situation not coming to camp, usually it takes them a little bit of time to get back at it, especially at this time with a new coaching staff and a new way of doing things. It’s unfortunate but I’m going to work with the players that are here and going to work extremely hard with those players.” Reading between the lines....like it on not you start out in the doghouse. No sense in him holding his tongue. Edited September 13, 2019 by OccamsRazor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Chuckles said he has know about it for awhile so damn how long ago was he injured that he still might not be ready for the start of the season??? I swear he is the Neuvy forward version. It's going to be really interesting when his contract is up and needed to be renewed this next offseason. No way that guy gets more than a 3 year bridge deal.
