G: Lundqvist & Biron D: Girardi, McDonagh, Staal, Moore, Del Zotto, Stralman & Falk F: Asham, Boyle, Brassard, Callahan,Dorsett, Fast, Hagelin, Miller, Moore, Nash, Pouliot, Pyatt, Richards, Stepan and Zuccarello. No Kreider is annoying me, especially when Zucc made the team.
So no Kreider, Powe, Lindberg, or Hrivik. Miller, Fast and Asham in. Hagelin probably to LTIR shortly. I like Asham, I think he's one of the better 4th line guys we've had here and has a very underrated shot. His toughness makes him 100x more valuable than a traffic cone like Pyatt. Zucc was a lock, he doesnt have a 2 way contract anymore. We're thin on front end scoring.
I'm a little surprised Asham made it over Powe, who played pretty well and has a little more PK value.
Not much of a fan of Asham, think he's dirty (see his xcheck to Schenn's throat a couple yrs ago) so would prefer his spot taken by a young player.
Not thrilled to have Asham, Dorsett, Pyatt and Boyle still on the roster. I feel like we already know what they are capable of and it's pretty limited. However, they each serve a purpose (for the most part) so they are all needed in their own way. I just wish we could take the toughness of Asham, the size of Pyatt, the faceoffs from Boyle and Dorsett's grit into one player. All things considered there will likely be at least two if not all of these guys as scratches on a regular basis once Hagelin and Callahan are back. But at this point I would rather see the young players like Lindberg and Hrivik on the team. Either way, this team is going to struggle to score goals again this year and it could be tough to stomach watching a full 60 minute game.
Hrivik is not a fit for this team. You're nuts if you don't want Dorsett on this team. He's another Prust type player and we missed that last year.
Very similar to Prust in his style. Definitely not as good of a fighter but has more offensive capabilities
If they aren't going to use Kreider, then I wish they'd trade him and let him prosper with an organization that doesn't have it's head up it's ass ...
