Quoting: ChampEddy
We`ll have to wait and see. I think at some point they will make an upgrade regardless. Look at my next ACGM.
There is enough speed with McCann and Tanev or Lafferty on Jankowskis line that it will be fine. Jankowski can work the corners with Tanev and dish the puck to McCann. They will be fine defensively but the only question mark is going to be can they put up points. I don`t think they are going to be able to like HBK obviously and I think they will try and make a move to spread out scoring before playoffs. The top 6 is loaded already but another young, skilled forward would be ideal.
I just don't see the point this team is trying to make. We moved Hornqvist, and rightly so, because he was too damn slow and it was seriously a problem. Only to replace him with Jankowski, who looks even slower.
He's gonna be riding pine by years end, I have no doubt about that.
You just can't fix a guy being that slow with other players. At this point this team needs to let Blueger be a 3C and Lafferty be the 4C. It's not ideal but at least they got jump in their step.
Sitting a guy like OConnor who at least shows something for a guy like Sceviour who was non existent tells a lot about this teams commitment.
Just glaring issues.
They keep POJ, and they should incase Matheson falters.
But they keep Angelo over Poulin. How did that make us better?
They keep Chad R. who doesn't help us win games, but a guy like Maniscalco who could help us win games gets sent down. We know what Chad is. He's a body. They should play Maniscalco because their is at least a chance there he plays well and is more than a body.
With no risk there will be no reward. This team just isn't in a position to play safe. As Torts would way, "safe is death" and he's right.
They got to make better choices.
