Ray_Cathode Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 lappy proved that when daniel was injuried he can put up points and still be physical so I would put him hansen and raymond/kassian raymay/kassian lappy hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugemanskost Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 How does a 0.5769 ppg in the AHL sound? That's what Cody was and he did not try and become a better 2 way player in the process. While Schroeder worked on his 2 way game all last year. It wasn't until he was doing really good defensively that he started focusing back on offence. So for over half of the season last year he was playing way more defensively minded. To prove my point Cody was a -12 in his AHL games, while Schroeder is an even 0 (This year he was a +8 like I said he is way better defensively than Cody ever was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyl ( : Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ballard and Raymond for Hodgson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire_Spiky Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have confidence in Lapierres as our third line center but would still like to see us sign another center so we can fill Kesler's hole in the line up while he's still recovering.

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would like to see someone brought in via trade, but I'm also hoping that Schroeder can fill that spot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagorim Jarg Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 ABurrows14 and his superior hockey knowledge and 4 years of OHL experience should sign up for our 3rd line centre vacancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm not sure what Cody Hodgson has to do with Schroeder, Kass. Didn't mention him. All I'm saying is that Schroeder's offensive output in Chicago isn't what would be expected of a 1st round draft pick after 150 AHL games. He is improving, especially defensively, but I don't see him as a 3 centre checking the other team's big, #1 guy (Thornton, Getzlaf, etc.). I don't want to say he is too small for the 3 job, but, the odds are stacked against him. I do agree with your assessment of Hodgson's defensive abilities, though. They are poor.

Trade Deadline Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Max has shown in the past 2 seasons that he's a more than capable 3rd line center when he tones down his yapper and just plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We should trade for Dubinsky, then if that falls through we should give Schreoder the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well you are bringing up stats from a center in our system who was drafted in the first round. So I thought I would show you someone else who has the exact same situation. They have equal stats and I would go as far in saying that Schroeder's are better. Cody seemed to manage fine playing 3rd line C for us, he was fan favourite and was in the running for getting a Calder nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would trade Luongo to Chicago, and bring a 3rd-line center back in the likes of Markus Kruger or Brendan Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforhockey Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Manny, one of his greateest strengths has been his unreal fitness regeime....last year due to at least two surgeries in August he wasnt able to train....... he should be at the fitness level he needs to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think that we could get something done through a trade, or signing. But if that isn't an option Lappy can play there, he doesn't exactly have an incredible offensive game, but he is fast, plays physical, and isn't the worst on face-offs.

Trelane42 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Assuming no new players are acquired: If Malhotra returns to pre injury performance or close to he should get it. Otherwise, I'd make Higgins the regular 3rd line center and see if he can make a go of it with Hansen and (hopefully) Jansen. Lapierre should only be used sparingly in that role. While his play in the playoffs is noteworthy the guy just doesn't produce enough to warrant the role in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
