I liked the chemistry between Samson and Skinner. But that is Samsons greatest strenght, he can adapt to a lot of linemates.
If our 2nd line doesn't work out, I can see this top line being split up.
Skinner - Samson - Thompson
Sheary - Eichel - Okposo
Its what the stars fans are saying, good guy, never quits, got speed and is good on the forecheck. Good 4th line LW role energy guy.
Isn't going to create much himself , but also won't hurt your team defensively. Makes up a lot with his speed.
Pickard to flyers and McElhinney to canes.
Both make sense , flyers have their future goalie hart in the AHL. And canes really can't rely much on last years goalies.
Its his 4th time in 12 months, its at least 10 games maybe even 20. Last pre-season he hit two ST louis blues, got a 2 game and a 4 game (also last game).
In the playoffs he hit a penguin badly only got one game I think for it. repeat offender status, so wouldn't be surprised to see at least 20 games.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, the kid has the brain to learn from this one.
Never mind him being hammered, he was hyped and a lot of people went with it. This is good for his development.
Its not a win Season, its about your QB learning on the fly.
I know you want to try and give the kids a shot, but Bailey/Baptiste are not better than pominville.
I want to win and I don't think Bailey/Baptiste can be part of that.
