Description

Kunin, Granlund, Hoffman, and yes, even Ferraro, really aren't everyday NHLers.

I realize that Bordeleau struggled to start the season, but it's better than what we have now, and I get the risk that putting him in this lineup could further stunt his growth, but it's 1) a "ain't much better in here, kid" situation with the Cuda anyways, and 2) the experience will do him good and force him to grow, maybe not right away, but with a full NHL year under his belt. Sink or swim for him.

Same thought process albeit less egregiously so for Thrun. I'm looking forward to seeing what Addison can bring.

Ferraro is clearly better than Vlasic and Burroughs has been much better that Rutta from what I’ve seen.

Granlund hasn’t been bad either but has had ups and downs.

Kunin has driven me nuts cause he gets really great chances and does the dirty work but just can’t sink a shot to save his life.

Imo

Eklund - Hertl - Zetterlund
Is best. Keep developing Eklund and Hertl and we invested in Zetterlund and he hasn’t been bad, he’s been solid. Keep the investment solid.

Duclair - Couture - Labanc (or Zadina)
Duclair and Labanc have kinda worked okay/ good together let them grow their stock

Zadina (or Labanc) - Granlund - Barabanov

Bordeleau - Strum - Kunin
We don’t need to invest in Carpenter or Smith.
Bords can still take draws but less stress when he’s with strum who’s awesome.

Ferraro - Addison
INVESTMENT

Knyzhov - Emberson (dk why he’s being scratched or Burroughs

Thrun (but AHL isn’t the worst) - Burroughs/ Emberson

Rutta
Ohtk

Or just keep Bords and Thrun in the AHL to get better deployment and minutes.

Vlasic (we can’t just keep playing this guy over Emberson lol)

Blackwood (goat)
Kaapo (great)
