It's good tho, we know their ceilings and can move forward.

sabresparaavida Posted April 11, 2022 Report Posted April 11, 2022 I’d like to see that top 4 for the rest of the season and see how it works. If Samuelson-Dahlin is a good first pairing that reduces our RD need significantly and we would only need to add one good vet on the right side. If it doesnt work out, but Power-Joki looks good, we can focus on getting a good partner for Dahlin and then we can have Samuelson and a UFA make up a “3rd” pair that probably gets a lot of defensive zone starts and PK time. 1 Quote

Stads Posted April 11, 2022 Report Posted April 11, 2022 Let's play a game: take guesses at Power's ice time for tomorrow night. I have no clue what to do for whomever is closest. You'll have my respect and I'll buy you a beer if we're ever at the same game I'll go with 17:25 for the young man Quote

Samuelsson - Dahlin Power - Pysyk Jokiharju - Bryson Expand Agree. Put Power with the veteran. Joker makes the 3rd pair stronger. 2 Quote

And I don't mean more talented, I mean he defends better, he transitions better and he attacks better. Over the season Pysyk has proven to be what he has been the past few years: a low-risk 6-7 who gets exposed against better players and with overuse. Expand I'm not pairing Pysyk with him because Pysyk is better, but because he is a long term veteran and could teach and communicate with the kid better. Joker plays more of that Euro style of D which I don't care for personally, but if you're going that way he pairs better with Dahlin as he has been. I don't think he'd compliment or help Power. On 4/11/2022 at 8:40 PM, thewookie1 said: Doubt it means much to be honest. If anything it may make a LHD vet defender possible but I doubt they want to go into next year with Jokiharju as their elder statesman on defense. Fitz strikes me as a AAAA player or 7/8 guy. He’s a perfect gritty filler player but nowhere good enough to be a game in game out Top 6. Expand I like Fitz, but more for his attitude and effort level. I think that type of player is good for the team building, even if they aren't the most talented guy out there. I personally would play Fitz ahead of a slightly more talented guy if that guy didn't have that attitude. (emphasis on slightly). At the moment I keep Fitz in the line up, but he should be in the bottom pairing. Quote

At the moment I keep Fitz in the line up, but he should be in the bottom pairing. Expand I agree with and endorse this take. I like Fitzgerald as a 6/7/8 defenseman. He is home grown. He can sit sometimes, play in the bottom pair and play a little PK at other times, as well as be a team unifying personality. I think I’d be comfortable with him in that type of role for the next few years. I doubt he forces his way into a higher spot in the lineup, but I think there is value in not only his skill set, but also keeping around home grown players. I feel the same way about Bryson right now. Different skill set though. 1 Quote
