Think Cassidy will keep playing him though. this stat may be somewhat skewed ... normalizing with ESTOI would provide more info ... also factoring in the expectation of those minutes (what is my primary role for this shift?) seeing him log effective minutes on the PK is encouraging

Guys on the upswing: Ritchie, McAvoy, Bjork, Zboril, Marchand, Bergeron, Miller, Halak, Frederic, Wagner, Kuraly. Which ones were on the downswing heading up ?Guys on the down: Studs injured. If he goes to Praavidence to play center i’m fine with that. Guy who was on up, but heading toward down with all likelihood will be back up next start: Rask screened on two goals. Kept the Bs in the game.Guy who needs to step up period: Coyle disagree and injured. He pushes puck possession.Steady guys but can be better: DK, Smith, Lauzon, Carlo (less minutes than the other 5 d v. Caps...say what??) disagree on Smith and Krejci. Guys who will need to step up once healthy: Pasta, Kase, DeBrusk Pasta Is there some doubt he won’t ?Guy who needs to get healthy: Gryz duhNot enough information to evaluate: Kuhlman, Lindholm, Clifton then get new glasses. If you don’t wear spectacles get them.LA smog is putting a dent in your mush. Eddie the mush.

It's really encouraging if you think about it. As for LA Smog, today was one of the few beautiful days to be outside.

I know we just have to be patient but I am really curious what Studs is going to be. He stepped right in and looked so good in the playoffs in a small sample size but then this year he has barely been noticable playing with two of the greatest hockey players on earth. It's a little strange. Always leery when a young guy changes their number. He sure looked good when he was 68. 23? not so much. Yeah that Orr kid should have kept 27. He coulda been a good one. Nobody looks good in 68.

More 2021 icetime in the top 9.

B's might have to flip a pick to the Kraken to leave Lauzon & Zboril alone, they grab Gryz, worth it to me.

I like this team a lot.
I really didn't want DS giving up a first this year because we need some talented youth infusion but I'd invedt in this year if that is what it takes (plus a Bos/Mtl Stanley Cup isnt looking so impossible now haha).
This team has so many versatile players that can be mixed and matched throughout the line-up but there is still such a black hole on DKs RW. Wonder if there is another Craig Smith type of under the radar player out there that won't wow you but would be the type of guy you need to win playoff games and won't cost a ton.

Still early. No one has a book on the rooks yet; we’ll see what they look like once advance scouting kicks in and teams start attacking their weaknesses. I’m hopeful but there is a lot of runway left.

I wonder what the expansion draft does for their willingness to make moves at the deadline. Do they hoard assets knowing that one of those three is likely to need replacing - so hang on to Vowels? Or do they get more aggressive and deal one if them for a veteran upgrade who’s maybe UFA but possible to re-sign post expansion draft? I’m a little concerned about the depth in the system in the blue line if they lose one of those three. Vowels is probably next man up, but not much of real substance behind him unless Ahcan and Wolff are better than it’s reasonable to expect.

Won a gutchecker with no Rask and no Gryz....that's pretty impressive stuff.

I know, i don't dislike Gryz at all its just that Lauzon & Zboril are younger, bigger, more physical and are puck movers as well. As they say and we've seen time and time again over the yrs, one guys misfortune is another guys big break. If the B's are going with the 5 man PP they won't be needing Matt there either. We'll see as the year goes along, who knows what management is thinking.

Bs are losing a good dman for sure. Maybe expose gryz. Smith could get gobbled up front.

Bs are losing a good dman for sure. Maybe expose gryz. Smith could get gobbled up front. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the issue is never who you expose so much as who you can protect. If the draft was tomorrow, using a 7-3-1, they protect Bergeron, Marchand, Pastrnak, Coyle, Debrusk, Smith, and surprisingly, Ritchie up front; Fataboy, Carlo and one of Grz/Lauzon/Zboril, and it looks like Vladar since the other two goalies are UFAs. That means two of the three young D will be exposed - Vowels, too. So if they go 8 skaters (it's not 4-4, it's just 8 skaters and a goalie however you want to slice it), then NTC/NMC will mean they have to protect Bergeron, Marchand and Coyle, and there's no way they expose Pastrnak, leaving just one additional spot for a D. So you can't protect them all. If they go that way, you might de facto protect them all, though, because it puts Smith, Debrusk and Ritchie on the table. I like the young D so far, and it's always easy to overplay the love of rooks who make it, but exposing any of those forwards might mean the Kraken take one of those Fs. I think you'd effectively be planning to lose Smith unless the Kraken felt they were better off taking the potential of Debrusk or the size of Ritchie - they will likely be short on players with both size and skill up front.
