Can't imagine granato sitting mittelstadt.

Unfortunately. Mittlestadt again was invisible, meanwhile Asplund 2 points, Olofsson 2 points, Krebs another goal... weird

Weird indeed.

I don't want Bryson in the top 4. Call up Priskie or sign Prow and call him up for Petes sake. Mitts and Bryson both need to sit out for a long stretch to watch the game and see how much better the team plays without them on the ice lol

Mittelstadt was really good tonight. Made crafty plays at the net and on the boards to keep possession. His best deployment is as the 3rd best player on a line where he isn’t called on to do the heavy lifting but can make those small plays he excels at. Now, I’m not saying replace him with Skinner but I don’t want to give up on him. He’s an asset on PP2 and I would hope is still not done physically maturing. Ideally, in two years he centers Savioe or Rosen of some combination of young speed and skill that’s ready where his play on the wall, near the net, and the face off dot will make them a formidable 3rd line. Bryson is proof that the size in the NHL now has speed too and he simply cannot create separation as a smaller defenseman where so many others had been able to for the past decade. It’s unfortunate because I think his skill set and IQ are really high but his speed and quickness are not elite and they have to be elite to be effective at his size.

There's a couple that should be sitting

Clague with power (worked well enough before)
Lyubushkin should be back in a week or so...play Pilut with Fitz then drop Fitz down when Boosh is back

Clague has been a pleasant surprise

I've always preferred him to Bryson and Fitzgerald tbh. Even when he's underperforming he makes smart, safe plays. He's not flashy, and isnt going to put up many (if any) points, but he's solid
