Gravesy Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It's no coincidence. We lost a top 9 forward, a center, even if only for a game or two. Lias was going to get a call soon, or the next injury, because he did everything they asked him to do. Now he gets a shot to force himself onto this roster. As Gorton said, they are not going to keep any of these 1st rounders from playing in NY, if they are ready. They will make trades, send guys down and/or bench guys if Lias performs. Coach wants to win. No Howden means we are only 9 to 10 deep in NHL forwards. Right, but the discussion is whether he was called up to cover for Howden or whether this is part of a larger shake up. As you said things have gone really well for him in Hartford, seems a bit strange to take him out of that environment if this is a one or two game shot at winning a place on the roster. So I hope this is about culling guys like McLeod and Lettieri as it is about covering for Howden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progrocker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nobody likes McLeod's game but isn't he only here as a badly needed enforcer type? Granted, he's not very good doing that anymore either. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I wanna see Lias for sure! But I'd rather keep Chytil here to watch his progress. Chytil isn't really doing anyone any harm by staying in the lineup, so I figure let him learn at this level. I actually enjoy watching Chytil play and how he reacts in certain situations. I want my Howdy Dooty back soon though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There’s a select few pkayers on this roster I actually give a shit about. I hope Chytil, Howden and Lias are all in the lineup. I don’t care who’s out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giacomin Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Agree too, but give him linemates. Tonight is his chance as Chytil replaces Howden directly. Vesey and Fast will make a big difference in Chytil's game, watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveIn94 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I agree with the sentiment but these are not good players.They've done good things w/Howden, why not w/Chytil who has similar abilities as Howden?

Giacomin Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 31, We both are focused on the 1st and 2nd year players. However, there are young questionable vets of which a couple should respond to the changes and emerge. Even guys you've complained about or just hate their face. ;) Two guys are stepping up their game. Vesey has been strong and consistent, since the last preseason game. Names has been solid since his talk with Quinn. The rest have to step up. Hayes is still a solidly erratic enigma. Buch's progress is concerning. Spooner lacks physicality and D. A good skater who does not rush the puck or drive play. He needs to be putting up points or he's worthless. You can't say Fast is not a good player, he's a reliable high-value versatile role player who will play better soon. More importantly, the big 3. Kreider still disappears too often. On the flipside, Zibs is a helluva underrated hockey player. Shutting down Getzlaf and Eichel shows what a complete player he's become. He may be a legit #1C with real 1st line wingers. Skjei has his own thread. Give him the season, I think he'll work out nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 They've done good things with Howden because the unit are more of a checking style. Chytil needs talent around him to thrive. That's not exactly putting him in a position to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not exactly putting him in a position to succeed. Compared to the guys Chytil has been playing with... expect to see a difference. Sidenote: Seen enough of Chytil to believe he is a highly skilled top-level prospect. It may take a year or two or three, but he should be an impact player. He's a babe in the woods, with a gangly kid body and a sharp creative hockey mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 By comparison, maybe. I'm not sure by how much, though. Ditto Chytil. I've said before, he looks like young Spezza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they construct a new line with Lias and Chytil on it. Gotta drop Mcleod. Shit send Lettieri down too. Some kind of move has to be made here no?

The Dude Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I agree with the sentiment but these are not good players. Agreed. I'd rather see Buch with him. I'm done with the Fast as an offense provider experiment. I want a line of Spooner- Chytil- Buch Orrrr Cyhtil- Andersson- Buch/Spooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
