The bar is so low for Eriksson, but he's actually bringing something to the table now. He's good down low & he can prolong O-zone time for Tanner & Bo. That line grinds & Loui can fit in that style.

 

Eriksson on your 2nd line is not ideal, but he's contributing to a winning lineup. Can't take that away from him. For all the hate on Eriksson its nice to see him having a purpose & contributing to a winning group. (finally)

Hes probably coming out of the lineup though when Ferland comes back

Wow Petterson is almost a Point per game for his career. 

 

Bure also with amazing numbers (the only one on the list with a better points per game average than Petey). 

Petey was born in November so he still has 10 months to pile up more points to move up that list.  Its possible he comes out as high as 2nd if he rocks it lol.

Sutter played really well for his first game back and Gaudette is a regular. How are we going to fit Leivo and Ferland when they return though. :unsure:

 

somethings got to give. 

You can't have too much depth for a run, either to make the playoffs or win a series.  Need more healthy bodies back. Let coach worry about who plays.

That just goes to show you just how good Trevor Linden was in his prime. 

He played almost 200 more games

By this point then Pettersson, so no, not really

And to think points were a touch easier to come by back then make Petey's numbers even better :)

And to think we’ve still got Leivo coming back at some point.

 

Good problem to have.

Perhaps trades is in works or wait until trade deadlines and we'd have unlimited roster with same team.  We'd be over the cap so someone might need to go down and it can't be Gaudette as he is not exempted.  So it is more likely a trade talk is in works.  Call up one of D that is NHL-ready from Utica and trade Benn for a picks or a prospects.    I suspect that we would still have some room as only Ferland is on LTIR which takes away the cap hit.  Leivo is not expected back until nearing or after trade deadlines and maybe with unlimited roster after that day he could be loaned to Utica for conditioning, that will give us time to sort out something.  If we trade away Benn and Schaller, we are actually under cap even with Ferland coming back.  Those are options that Benning to ponder on at a later date.

If that line continues the way they're going, I could see Gaudette being sat out when Ferland returns. Gaudette has had a good season, cooled off a bit lately. Eriksson has been earning his spot on the roster right now.

 

Many have been calling for chemistry for the lines and they are showing good chemistry lately playing shutdown and providing solid secondary scoring.

No matter what, make the playoffs or no, the team is learning to play together without a huge rash of injuries (knock on wood) although some this season of course and enough for Green to have his hands full juggling the lines and seeing how the new guys and rookies play together, and it's hardly over yet but we're still not there getting used to each other BUT as time goes on and new players come in but not to the degree that JB had to do anymore.

Sure, it'll continue to happen as we shed some contacts and sign others plus players like JV finally hitting his stride and having our top 6 look pretty good and depth to step in when necessary is going to be a lot of fun to watch..

 Then it'll be challenging the elite teams we lost to before, and turning them into wins will make all the difference.

Just hold on to something, the ride is going to get to another level soon, hey mister Stanley, vancouver is calling! On hold? Ok we just need a bit more time anyway but pack your bags sir! Your long overdue..

Boeser’s ice time tonight and in the last period of Minnesota is a concern IMO. What’s really going on here? Is he playing hurt? He was perhaps a blown review away from a hat trick three games ago in Buffalo and now he’s logging very limited minutes. Something doesn’t add up.
