<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>Ugh, Chinakhov should be playing before Bemstrom.

I also think top pair is a bit rich for Blankenburg right out the gate, but I'm intrigued to see him play. I had never heard of him before CBJ signed him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jarmo</b></div><div>Yeah, I think Yegor should be playing tonight as well. Unfortunately, don't think Brad does it (plays Yegor). I just want to see these lines for at least one shift. Maybe if Johnson plays well early in the game, he gets a chance to play with Laine in any situation.

I think every CBJ fan is excited to see Johnson (mainly) and Blankenburg during the last stretch of the season.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdawwwgy1</b></div><div>idk man, Chinakhov has been pretty bad (he needs AHL time) all around but Bemstrom has been extremely efficient. Im also a big blankenburg fan, i wanted him after watching so many umich games and he stuck out. i was so pleasantly surprised when we signed him.</div></div>

Brad has said Chinny is dealing with an Upper Body injury and its why he hasn't been playing. I like to think that's true but chinny def needs some AHL time. You see great flashes of how good he is. Just needs to get more consistent and work on positioning.

Thread: Opening Night Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>This team has another 3 wingers that could content for those bottom line spots. Hofmann danforth foudy all look nhl caliber. Not even to mention stenlund or dunne. I’ve really liked Hofmann to this point and I hope he starts with the big club. However he is a 28 year old and I understand we can’t wait forever to give foudy, bemstrom chinakhov a full time spot. (Even if they don’t make it)

Brad is going to have some really hard choices to make. Heck even our “number one center” might not make the team out of camp.</div></div>

Obviously not my call, but I’d prefer Sillinger and Chinakhov go to the AHL. In general, my MO is that if they are waivers exempt and you are not in immediate need for them, a higher role in the AHL is better than a lower role in the NHL, particularly if the player is not designed to play that lower NHL role (think Dunne, Berni, etc. Guys who are best suited for Bottom 6/ Bottom 4 roles). Particularly with the CBJ’s position - rebuilds aren’t about losing, they’re about moving resources from winning to development. Which, yeah, typically leads to losing.

I think Danforth starts in the AHL as well. His last stint there did not go well, so they’ll see if he is better this go-around.

Re: Hofmann…play him. If he sucks, one year deal, move on.

If he shows promise, TDL chip.

If he looks like an All-Star, extend him.
