We've recalled forwards Alex Nylander and Kevin Porter from @AmerksHockey.

[North Buffalo]

Interesting... we shall see how much improvement hes made. Here is hoping...

[darksabre]

Okay kid, here's your big shot. 

[LGR4GM]

Okay kid, here's your big shot. 

Are you saying he's got one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything he's ever wanted? in one moment? 

 

Will he capture it or just let it slip?

Why Kevin Porter too? Did someone get hurt last night?

[Mustache of God]

Was anyone sent down to accommodate bringing 2 players up from Roch?

Also please don't play him with Nolan and Pouliot or Larsson or Okposo or Girgensons...pretty much what Brawndo said.

[Brawndo]

No roster limits, this time of year. You can have as many players as you want.

[dudacek]

He’s going to really spark that Larsson/Nolan line.

 

Please put him with Jack and someone who can work the boards.

[Crusader1969]

does that mean we have seen the last of Nolan and Pouliot?  

[Randall Flagg]

One can only hope.

 

I bet it's more likely that both of them play, and Nylander, while Baptiste and Mittelstadt sit

Beat me to it :)

Really hope they don't sit Casey. The entire point of calling him up and signing him to an ELC like this was to get him exposure I thought

[Mustache of God]

Pouliot looked like an avalanche crashed onto a train that had crashed on the side of a mountain last night, so I'm guessing he's sitting.

 

If I were Housley the lines I'd put forth are:

 

Nylander - Eichel - Mittlestat

Baptiste - ROR - Reinhart

Okposo-Rodriguez - Girgensons

Wilson - Larsson - Pomminstein

 

Sit: Pouliot, Nolan, Porter

 

I don't think the lines will look anything like this. My head might explode if Eichel is not playing with one of the youths.

I like it.   I like it alot.

I cna't imagine this is the case. The year is over...now is the time to play the youth to see how they work together on the roster at the NHL level. Nothing is gained having them up here to have plugs on expiring contracts playing over them.

[Randall Flagg]

I'd do 

Zemgus - Eichel - Nylander (I'd like to do better for him but this is likely still an upgrade)

Wilson - ROR - Reinhart (I know Wilson isn't a top 6 guy but the line works and he is not a visible anchor)

Mitts - Rodrigues - Baptiste 

 

KO - Larsson - Pominville

WWBD?

WWBD?

I'm pretty sure he played Alex with Jack, at least at first.

E-Rod-Eichel-Nylander

Wilson-ROR-Reinhart

Girgensons-Mittelstadt-Okposo

Baptiste-Larsson-Pominville

 

is what I would like to see. Nolan, Larsson, and Pouliot all deserve to watch the end of the season from the box. Larsson won't because he's a C and a pest. Pominville probably deserves a third line spot, but the right side gets crowded if that's where Nylander is playing. 

[Huckleberry]

I think calling up Porter is a bit of a reward from doing well in Rochester.   

Give him some extra dollars :p

I want some more speed with Casey, but considering there's not a ton available I'll take this lineup

Yeah, I do too, but slim pickings.. Baptiste is already on his off wing in that lineup. Could slide him up, because Girgensons really hasn't done much to deserve a top 9 spot despite nice opportunities. I'm sure Girgy will stay stapled to Jack though. I just want someone that has the smarts to get in the right places. E-Rod has his gaffs, but he seems to have a knack for getting in positions to finish. Maybe not every time, but more often than Girgensons finds himself anywhere useful. Jack is the type that can see that and take advantage.
