Guest Dasein Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Schroeder is ready IMO. He produced at a higher pace than Cody in the AHL this season than Cody did before making the jump. He's a year behind Cody in development (drafted a year after) so I would say that Schroeder, after a good summer training, will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronningsback Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hey guys, I was just wondering on your thoughts as to who will replace Kesler as the 2nd line center. In my opinion I would like to give Schroeder a chance like we did Hodgson. However this really depends on if he shows he is NHL ready during pre-season. Should he not preform to expectations I think Lapierre could hold the fort down until Kesler gets back. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Kesler is not, and never will be an effective Centre but he would make a heck of a right winger (that is if we give him a Centre who knows how to feed him the puck). It should be plainly obvious that he is most effective on the wing where he can use his speed and size along the boards. Why Management is oblivious to this is a complete and utter mystery to me!! Maybe one day the penny will drop. (counter argument that he is good in the face off circle doesnt hold water - he can still take face offs if need be - hopefully his Centre will be good at face offs too).

Steve Carell Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We WILL have a new key body in camp who is a center, via trade or free agency. Plus Schroeder pushing for a spot & we already have Lapierre & Malhotra who will both be here. Gaustad? Bolland as part of Lou trade? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANGO Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 a free agent would be nice but i would go with a chance for one of our young guys on the 3rd or 4th and move Lappy up if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Roasted I am, Dang! I believe that he is only allowed to join the Wolves when his junior team's season is done. There are age restrictions when you have to be sent back to junior rather than the AHL. I believe that you need to be turning 20 by the end of the calender year in which the season starts to be able to go to the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well they had a center but they traded him for that play off power house Zack Kassien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sameer666 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 How come no one has mentioned Higgins? he can play center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo1970 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He is expected to recover before training camp. Kinda thinkin he'll be centering the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 WTF he won a Selke at center, and he is great in the middle. Just because he'll also be good at wing, doesn't mean we should put him there. He plays better at center and we need him more at center. It is plain obvious you don't understand hockey at all. Hence, it doesn't come to me a surprise that you find this to be a complete and utter mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

406281dylan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 lapierre will definetly b eour third s long as vigneault gives him a couple of games to gain chemistry he should be solid there they will also either put higgins or lapierre as the second line center. but vigneault better give lapierre a chance and not demote him after one bad game or else he will ruin his confidence. I love lapierre cant wait to see the faces he makes next playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It would be great if Schroeder could do it, but I doubt he'll be good enough. Either Lappy or Ebbett (that is if we re-sign him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He's a #2 and a shutdown center at that. He's as good a #2 and shutdown as they get. He's no Gretzky, Yzerman, Sakic, etc - or even Henrik. No doubt. But he is a great #2 center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Right...you need to tell me how Hodgson did with Vanek on his Wing and where did he end up on the Sabres team after 13 games? Oh right the 4th line. Yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
