Things could get complicated if they activate Gordon...plus I have a hard time believing they want to switch PEB to wing

Eventually he's either going to have to be activated or sent to LV.

I agree; if anyone's moving to wing it's Cousins.

But I don't know if Gordon is healthy yet, so it'll probably just be Laughton going to LW.

Didn't realize how bad Schenn's possession numbers were this year. I know he's spent a bunch of time in the bottom 6, but wow.

If he "isn't healthy" he doesn't have to come off

Nevertheless, it is very important they find a place on the roster for Gordon

his prowess on faceoffs and his ability to take the defensive workload off of giroux has been a treat to watch

there is only one player on the team that has better possession numbers with him than without him...and it's Nick Schultz

its more SSS but his possession numbers were actually his best with VDV and Scooby Lyuby Do

He's never been a good possession guy. He's always just been a scorer. I'm a little surprised that he's fallen off a cliff without the luxury of having a strong possession center. It's why I was always worried about re-signing him long-term. As long as the PP keeps humming along, it will help make his contract palatable.

Giroux could be considered a possession center and that didnt help

Dude has played less than 60 mintues ice time this season. Give him a break.

The comment that you replied to, implies that he will eventually become healthy, and a move will need to be made, or did you not understand that?

Obviously when dealing with analytics and statistical analysis, sample size should be considered.

BGSM needs 17 more wins to reach 200 in his career. With 13 more wins he'll have 100 as a Flyer.

Barring injury or BGSM becoming RBGSM he should surpass those totals this season.

Giroux is still very good, but he's not the same player at even strength. He just can't carry a bad possession player like Schenn like he used to.

This is nothing against Giroux either. He's 29 years old and his decline should have been expected as most players leave their prime around this age. What is still great is his ability to QB a top PP. I would love to see the team add another strong possession C and allow Giroux take play the whole two minutes on the PP like the Caps have done with Ovechkin.

Trade him now. My prediction is he'll be out of the league next year. A friend of a friend's mother who has a cousin, who lives next store to Nick Cousins, has an uncle who said he heard that Mason wants to take over for Bundy next year between the glass.

Lindblom is maintaining a point per game pace in the Swedish Elite league. 2nd in the league in points. One point back of the total points he had last year in exactly half the games.
