BrooksBurner Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Carpenter/Reaves is a big problem at this point. The 4th lines job is to have not much happening, eat some minutes so the better players can catch their breath…maybe pot a goal here and there. That line is getting destroyed almost every time they are on ice. It’s a huge liability. Carpenter shouldn’t be anywhere near an NHL lineup. Reaves should be a plug and play as needed - not a permanent fixture. He’s not a deterrent to anything. The injuries hurt because Chytil and Kravtsov back in pushes Goodrow and Vesey back down and hopefully Carpenter and Reaves out most nights. Vesey wasn’t bad last night and as much as I think he’s not that great, he’s better than Carpenter and Reaves by a long shot. I don’t know why the team hasn’t dipped into some reserves here to see what they got. Noone can watch these games and think Carpenter is an NHL player or that Reaves is an everyday guy.

I"m done with Reaves. Guy was useless last year, too. He's a side show. He should fucking release himself at this point. He was a luxury that outlived his usefulness. You want to know what one of the biggest disappointments of last night? The Bruins retaliated for a clean hit on Trent Frederic...And the Rangers did nothing after a cheap shot on a top pairing defenseman. That's fucking embarrassing. 1 1 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the point of Reaves is if the other team’s best player can cheapshot Lindgren without retribution. Sickening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 If we found a way to clear Reaves contract in the offseason we could've found a better option than Carpenter for 4th line center since they refuse to use Goodrow at center when Chytil is healthy.

GG seems very fickle when it comes to center/winger. He refused to use Copp at C, he refuses to use Goody at C, refused to let Chytil on wing have any breathing room despite having playing like him in the bottom 6 is a real "iffy" strategy. I'm telling you, I'd be shocked if he lasts through next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how teams the first season after Gallant gets fired, but I'm sure someone here knows the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Not to be a broken record, but why oh why did they extend Reaves, a year in advance, at over double what they are paying the bottom guys on the roster, when they absolutely didn't have to! Whatever made them think Carpenter was serviceable? In both of these cases, and in others, the Used To Play For GG factor is overriding good solid decision making. By February, other glaring necessities will be apparent, so I don't think they will be able to use banked cap space to rebuild the 4th line. They may have to carry enough players due to injuries to prevent us from having the cap space to do much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks really good with the puck and is pretty responsible in the defensive end. He also seems to avoid turnovers. Agreed, but would like to see Kappo get on the scoresheet a bit more.

Albatrosss Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 The kid line has to be put together IMO. There has to be secondary scoring or at least a threat there of. Our 3rd and 4th lines might as well be figure skaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Kakko is generating a lot of chances, Kreider needs to start finishing them. I'd move Laf back to LW3 when Chytil is back with Gaut on the right. Put Vesey on line 2 until Krav is back after a conditioning stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Bottom 6 is tough since Laf and Kakko got promoted. We need an energy forechecking line. This is the best I can muster with what's available. 3- Blais- Chytil- Gauthier 4- Goodrow-Brodzinski-Vesey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cupalife Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Krieder and Zip have contributed 1 Even strength goal combined. Panarin's line is constantly scored upon and while they put up points they gift wrap opportunities against and get worked at even strength. Panarin has 16 points yet is somehow -5. Think about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupalife Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The bottom 6 is a problem. Its destined to be a problem when the top 6 is being paid $36M and that's with Kakko and Laf making peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about that Top top 6 is fine. They vastly out chance the opponent and are at the top of the league in generating high danger chances. The law of averages will improve their conversion rate. Two thirds of the 3rd line is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's issues throughout at this point. Combined with a brutal bottom six and Igor coming back down to earth vs. walking on water.
