The Dude Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 So with our 1st pairing LD on the shelf for what looks to be minimum 2- 3 weeks, if his shoulder is separated. What do we want to see happen. I want no part of Mikkola or Harpur playing top minutes. Do they mess with the Miller/Trouba pairing? I know a few people don't even like that pairing anyway, but it's been together for 2+ seasons now. Do we see one of Trouba or Schneider slide up and play the left side? A call up? Jones or Robertson could maybe take Miller's spot pushing Miller up? Hajek? If Lindgren goes on LTIR is there anyone available through trade that could seamlessly fit into the 1st pair and not cost an arm and a leg? This injury hurts. I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Mikkola on a Nemeth level. Hopefully they can move him and find a better option for this current situation as well as filling that 6 D spot for when Lindgren comes back. Gotta think Jones or Robertson are in play for such a player. More of the perceived cupboard going than we expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 We have enough depth to cover but it’s obviously going to be nobody as good. Long way to go still - I think the move is nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 They should still finish in third even if Lindgren misses the rest of the regular season. Mikkola will end up with Fox and Harpur plays with Schneider again. Need Lindgren for any kind of playoff run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 You throw either Harpur or Mikkola with Fox, and the other with Schneider. Though Key really needs a baby sitter right now. He’s ice cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I think you go Harpur with Fox. Mikkola/Schneider need time together if that’s the expected third pairing for the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 This really sucks.. Dude isn’t in the top 15 on the roster in terms of “talent”, but is somehow about the most noticeable guy on the roster when he’s out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Harpur was steady and quiet for most of his time here. As a fill in for a little bit for Lindgren, that’s what I would want next to Fox. Lord knows all the other pairs need all the time together and help they can possibly get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 if there is a trade for Kane and no LTIR of Lindgren there is really nothing they can do, most of the dmen on the trade block are RD. One of the few LD is Gavrikov... Hamonic, Schenn both RD. Plenty of pricier dmen but they're not worth even bringing up because the cap/price to get them is senseless for a 1-2mo fill in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I would have given Zac Jones some more run than he got and he might be a solution right now, but on top of having zero defensive structure in place, Gallant likes dead end trash defensemen too.

siddious Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Jones isn’t the call up I make. We need guys solid in their own end. i put fox with schneider (who’s had a quietly good season) Figure out the 3rd pair later.

Pete Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 They don't care about defense. Jones is the obvious solution. Paired with Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has, but for me, Miller is the one who has looked the worst. Today was the worst game of his career IMO. He couldn’t complete a simple pass, he couldn’t make any reads. He was disgustingly bad. But again, he was one of many. The entire roster looked like it didn’t know how to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone ever had any doubt that Lindgren is more important to this team than Miller, those doubts were resolved today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Apparently putting RL on LTIR doesn't open the possibility of bring in anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
