It seems like Robinson can fill that role, so no rush. If only KA could find a way to have KO be ‘load managed’. Krebs could help a bit more offensively if he had a little more skill on his wings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreb + Robinson + somebody else with speed could provide some quality minutes if they roll 4 lines. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sign of soreness would be a perfect time to rest him. 3 minutes ago, Carmel Corn said: IMHO - the 4th line needs more speed than KO can offer.

He can still hand out participation trophies after the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sign of soreness would be a perfect time to rest him. I've been thinking about this. KO is pretty much out of gas and adds very little value most nights. If he weren't the captain, he'd almost certainly be in the healthy-scratch rotation. But I think it's still a pretty firm rule that you don't healthy-scratch your captain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Guava Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 There a time line on Quinn now that he is no longer in a non-contact jersey? Assuming it's at least 2-3 weeks of ramp up to get back conditioning and hockey related shape/skills for game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should come from Kyle or does it come down to DG making it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninMinn. Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 The secrecy surrounding injuries drives me crazy. It's frustrating not being able to calculate when a player might return. Upperbody lowerbody my ass. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Everyone above us, save Tampa, has plenty of games at hand over us and we continue to sink. The bottom line is it is looking more likely for drought year number 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
