Ossi Vaananen Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Good idea for a thread. I don't think we've seen this team entirely healthy all season. I'll take a stab: Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Leivo Rousell - Gaudette - Virtanen Ferland - Beagle - Motte Sutter, Schaller I'm honestly not sure where Sutter fits. He tried to be a sort of agitator last game, and I guess it worked, but we have to much depth to play him above the 4th. You don't sit Motte's effort.

ktcy2 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Ferland sits or be traded. It’s a lot of bad luck involved in this one but sadly, he has been outperformed by everyone else on the team so Ferland will sit or be dealt. Concussion or not he has been a disappointment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion or not he has been a disappointment Perhaps, JB was looking to buy low but at this point, I agree. Still worth a gamble and thanks to the LTIR he wont affect the cap or perhaps a cap strap team might trade for his LTIR. Looking like, just the cost of doing business ?

reyezone Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I would consider giving Beagle a break. It seems that hip injury may not be 100% and he is having trouble getting around the ice as effectively as he usually does. Maybe Sutter slides to the middle and Beagle can rest up a bit for the playoffs. ...No way Motte comes out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of you are missing (not you Ossi) is that Sutter just came back and Schaller is sitting. Sutts has given the 4th line a shot in the arm. I think the real question here is what the depth chart actually looks like. Clearly they're liking Gaudette and want to keep him in so, Gaudette > Schaller and Sutter > Schaller Who's better Beagle or Sutter? I think that Beagle is a better 4C but Sutter is more versatile and can play up the line up. I don't see Beagle playing up the line up. Where does Eriksson sit? I think his contribution is hard to put your finger on but somehow Pearson, Horvat, Eriksson together are producing better than any other combination for the Horvat line that we have seen this season. Is this permanent? Who knows? In the mean time I think it's a mistake to break up a winning combination. Would anybody be surprised if Ferland has played his last game? I don't know where he slides in, if he slides in when healthy. The way Virtanen is playing, I think he has definitely reached a top 6 level. I would place him ahead of Leivo now. Boeser? He's top 6 too and I think that the only reason why he is on the 3rd line now is because of the new chemistry on the Horvat line. This is getting complicated and decisions will be made when Ferland and Leivo are healthy. There is a question whether Eriksson will remain as effective when that time comes. For that matter, will Virtanen?

But what happens when Ferland and Leivo are healthy? With Loui’s resurgence its going to be a difficult decision. The obvious choices other than Schaller are Motte and/or Beagle but they are both contributing to the current success. Thoughts? Ferland takes Motte's spot, Leivo sits. Why Virtanen makes Leivo redundant and Horvat plays better with Eriksson. Ferland gets motte's spot cause Ferland has more offensive possibilities after about 3 games or so If Ferland can't contribute offensively and is a defensive liability he sits and Motte goes in. Well Ferland is in Pearson, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Eriksson and cause Millers has been playing PK a little as well these guys will have PK responsibilities.

Better to have more centers in and wingers out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow 1983 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 4 hours ago, -AJ- said: Ferland sits IMO. Leivo is a tougher one. He was producing at a borderline 2nd line rate while playing. Might be the case that he sits out but other players have a very short leash. Leivo is hardly a downgrade on any of our middle six players, so if any of them let off the gas, he'll be right there to step in for them. Agree with Leivo, I so disagree about Ferland look for my reasoning above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why we can’t rotate guys like Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Motte and Eriksson in and out of the lineup down the stretch in order to keep them fresh and limit wear and tear. Even if it’s just minor injury or fatigue they can play through why not rest and be 100% if we have that luxury? It also gives a chance to look at different pairings which could be helpful for later in the season. The same approach should be looked at with guys like Edler and Tanev if we’re sitting in a good spot. Those guys are key to our success if we wanna make some noise in the playoffs. Terrible idea to rotate chemistry is more important. Only reason to pull a guy is he is suffering minor injury or playing bad. otherwise leave the lines alone. Motte out Ferland in and Leivo sits as well, look for my reasoning above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have missed the part where I specifically said minor injury or fatigue. Theres always players that are banged up. Having depth that can actually play and fit into the lineup is even more important. Chemistry is either there or it isn’t, it’s not gonna disappear after a few games.

I just don't think it is wise to rotate them if their is no injury and they are rolling along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow 1983 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I other point about Ferland I just don't see them sitting 3.5million unless he is truly not better then the other guys in this case Motte and Schaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeback_Kings Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Motte stays in, no doubt! Yes, there's still room for improvement on this roster, but I don't think Ferland and Leivo are the players to improve it. I think Green sees Virtanen as a better defensive player than BB6 and helps the first line play against better players. Meanwhile, the third line looks like it has been missing Virtanen and has been the weakest line the team has iced in the past two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
