Description

Disclaimer: I don’t think Andersson belongs on the 4th line. I feel like he deserves a chance in the top 9. In fact, I think this ice time will prove detrimental to his growth on the offensive end. If the management feels he as a big role on the team in the future, he’s either got to get time, or be sent down so he can get ice time in the AHL.
For the 2C, I had to choose between Strome and Chytil, and chose Chytil. Strome’s had a good stretch of games, but Chytil is the 2C of the future, and looked absolutely fantastic with Kreider and Buchnievich.
I find it unlikely that Kakko is moved to the first line because David Quinn has a tendency to play Kakko on the 3rd line, or list him as the top line RW, and then move him down after his first shift.

You'd think Quinn would at least think about giving Lias a couple offensive players on his wings once or twice. The brendan smith wing experiment needs to die. I really dont get what they see in Howden over Lias, but at this point im probably bias with frustration.

DQ already said he doesn't want to put kakko against other teams 1st lines. so switch him and strome and that's more realistic to what DQ will do.. wrong.. but more realistic

He meant said that he didn’t want Kakko against Boston’s top line which is the best in the league. He said Kaapo Kakko would get another chance with Mika Zibenejad, and Mika Zibenejad is 100% going to be the top line center, therefore making it possible that Kakko is played as the top RW. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right though.

I think one of Howden and Andersson should get sent down. I like them both at the NHL level, but playing one of them (Andersson in this case) on the 4th line is just pointless. Let them tear it up down there.

Id kind of like to see them swap, night by night until one of them takes the 3rd line. I just dont understand or for that matter see how howden has played better then Lias. Im not expert but i just dont see what howden has done on the ice to keep Quinn from swapping them at least for a game or 2.
