WhenWillItEnd66 Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) I do not think Tuch is hurt.... i think he is still nursing . There has been zero reports of injury. I cannot say how much i hate that 3rd line! Cozens stupidity is killing this lineup. So, the question is, when Muel comes back, who comes out defensively?

Not just Cozens being out. Quinn and Tuch are also out. That's an entire top 6 line sidelined. Think of how good the lines get if we do this...

Doohickie Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Skinner-Thompson-Savoie 👀 That kind of tells me that Tuch is out and Savoie will go on that line. If Tuch and Savoie will both be playing, I would have expected Savoie to be on another line with his "real" linemates, and placeholder like Jost or Olofsson (basically the 13th forward) to fill in temporarily for Tuch just for practice.

I’d prefer to see Clifton sit because he makes several un-poised, unnecessary plays per game and leads the team in “own goals”, but yeah, Joker is a defensive adventure in his own right half the time.

Brawndo Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I would do Dahlin-R Johnson Power-Jokiharju Samuelsson with Clifton/Johnson/Johnson rotating Samuelsson goes back with Dahlin on the games that Ryan Johnson sits I would do a 2:1:1 rotation for Eric Johnson:Ryan Johnson:Clifton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I’m going to swim against the tide here and suggest that the defence corps - now that Clifton is starting to smooth out the bounces and find his stride - is a group we can win with. Jokiharju is looking pretty good at 17 minutes a night and off the PK. Erik Johnson has delivered exactly what we’d hoped. Samuelsson is doing his part and Dahlin is great. I need more assertiveness from Power as a #2, but I still find him a net positive. I’m no longer terrified when any of the 6 are in the lineup. And the fact that Ryan Johnson might be good enough to force one of them into the press box is amazing to me. 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have better D depth than at F I understand we have a few injuries but the bottom 6 in general is a hounds breakfast You could literally get rid of all 6 and none of the losses would be painful to take provided a replacement-level player was iced instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have way more F injuries right now and that's why it seems that way. As noted we have Quinn, Cozens, and Tuch out and if we even had Samuelsson and Power out we would be in trouble.

Flashsabre Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Dahlin, Power, Joker, Muel, Clifton and the Johnson Brothers are the best D Corp they have had in a long time. Joker has looked better this year. Let’s hope at 24 he is maturing and rounding into form. The forward group is good when healthy. Skinner Tage Tuch JJ Cozens Quinn Greenway Mitts Savoie is a good top 9. If Savoie isn’t ready you can always look at Kane for that role. VO’s time here is done. Be it a salary dump trade or waivers, he needs to move on. Benson can go back to junior after the WJCs. The other angle is if Kulich and/or Rosen force their way up. In an ideal world you would like to see them stay and grow even more but they might have other thoughts on the matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
