Kakko practiced today

Can't wait to see how Gallant handles integrating those two guys. Assuming Motte is out, it gets a little bit easier.

 

Nothing will really surprise me. Lots of valid options posted around the forum here

Pretty much anything involving the bottom 6 is acceptable. To try and move him into the top 6 would be a mistake at this point.

With no Chytil at practice, 3rd line was Lafreniere- Goodrow - Kakko

 

Hunt - Rooney - Reaves as 4th

that bottom six was really spicy in the beginning of the year too

Which means when Chytil is back, it's Laf-Chytil-Kakko and whatever combination of Goodrow, Hunt, and Rooney. Not bad. Really highlights how important it was to get as many quality NHL players as Drury did at the deadline. We could be looking at McKegg and Gauthier right now.

Look at this record and realize we played with low level replacements at very important positions for certain periods through out the year. This team is good and it isnt just Shesterkin.

Those are some positives. Now I wanna see some play like Jagr with the "new" acquired strength and his puck possession skills. Come on man!!! Put it together; you have the tools....BUILD THE HOUSE!!!

Dude shouldve been riding that bike daily staying in shape. He has more to play for than anyone else. Vatrano has shined and KK is up for an RFA contract; time to put up kid and prove we shouldn't deal you to keep our current crop which has looked AWESOME while you were limp wristing around.
