Soshnikov is one of the worst NHL players ive ever seen

That’s offensive to Trevor Gillies

and libor hajek

Libor Hajek may be worse than gillies tbh lol

Funny, I noticed a certain change in momentum after Soshnikov got moved off the first line. Curious.

Also, bring up Iskhakov. Dew it.

at least Lambert is willing to make adjustments even if I don't agree with every move he makes

I actually am a big fan of his so far, our defense is good enough to keep us in the game and our offense has improved dramatically. I also love how he’s not afraid to shuffle the lines if we’re not doing well.

But Soshnikov on the first line is just inexcusably bad. I’m just glad he abandoned it after two periods of zero production.

Continuing on about Iskhakov, I can understand why we couldn’t bring him up on such short notice. But I’ll admit, I was really hoping to see him called up today or tomorrow, if we’re really still looking for a guy to play wing for Barzal, why not try the AHL’s top rookie?

I wouldn’t put Iskhakov at the expense of Wahlstrom , but I’m all for calling him up.

Lee-Barzal-Iskhakoc
Beau-Nelson-wahlstrom
Parise-Pageau-Palmieri
Martin-Cizikas-Bailey

God, I’d love this line up both for short term and long term reasons. Iskhakov would look phenomenal next to Barzal, Wahlstrom and Beauvillier would give Nelson some speedier line mates to work with. This would also give Dufour and Räty time to develop, no need to send them into the NHL early and spoil their confidence. Even if Iskhakov didn’t stick on the top line, he’d still give this team some speed on whatever line he’s on. And we desperately need speed
