But then Mikheyev is so fast and defensively sound seems like the kinda matchup guy you'd want playing with Miller and Boes? But it's a good question. Hell, based on who they're playing on a given night that could change? Seems obvious they want Podkolzin there... just a matter of him being ready to earn that job. But in the meantime... yeah. Interesting to ponder either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for Richard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to ponder either way. I actually thought Joshua would be a good guy with Miller but I am not seeing it this year. Its definitely a toss up at this point in who will fill those positions.

Eddie Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Love how were paying a trillion dollars to wingers and yet PDG is our second-line winger Not hating on the dude, he plays a tidy game, but shouldn't be on the second line on a team that wants to challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping this was Boeser's year and he would come out flying, but I see his same bad habits he has developed over the years. I think he get supplanted by Garland or Beau TBH. I did see him actually bodycheck the last game though, thats an improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his work ethic but we gotta score goals. We aren’t going to out defend teams yet. 2-1 wins I just don’t think are realistic with this roster The top guys need some protection, plus this is the reason I like McWard with Hughes. They'll get a lot of offense going. Also I like Bains over Studnicka, that guy cannot score his way out of a paper bag. (Or try Raty who has size and worked hard this off season and has offensive upside) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggy Bear Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, JamesB said: Excellent call. I have the same read. I wrote down my preferred line-up yesterday and this is it. The biggest question mark is obviously McWard. But this is the experiment I would try for now. One issue is that the guys pushed out of the starting 6: Irwin, Wolanin, Brisebois, and Juulsen, have not looked particularly good. Juulsen has been disappointing and the other three guys have been ok but have not really make a claim on the #6 spot. (And the other guys --Woo, Rathbone, and Johansson) have not made a serious bid to make the NHL roster. With the forwards, it makes sense to drop Hogs down the line-up. He has not shown the same level of finishing skill as Beau. The big questions there are i) can Joshua force his way into the line-up and ii) what happens when Mik is healthy. Joshua probably plays the next game and will have a shot to displace Aman, Studnicka, or maybe Hogs. As for Mik being healthy, the odds suggest that someone else will pick up an injury soon, but if everyone is healthy, Mik goes to the first line and Beau probably goes to the 3rd line with Garland and Suter and we have 4 guys battling for two wing positions. Agree Joshua is competing with Åman, Studnicka and Högs, and that’s a good thing. Play heavy and well enough to steal a job or it’s pressbox popcorn. Mikheyev makes any line better, and I could be sold on him anywhere from the 1st to 3rd on a dedicated checking line. 1 hour ago, Dr. Crossbar said: Hmmm ... I thought it was on S-boar-tsNet Pacific.
