Maybe, but Motter isn't going to play a scoring role, as he can't score, and I believe Greener already trusts Gaunce as a 4th line shut down guy.

Gaunce Beagle Schaller as the 4th line is my bet, even when Rousse gets back.

schaller, gaunce and granlund have been my most underwhelming performers in preseason by quite a margin

What's that show with the kids who are wearwolves and vampires, where it's team whoever and team the other guy?

I feel like we're team Gaunce or team Motte in here

Would still rather have Motte, he played well with Beagle, Gaunce was non existent and Gaunce can’t score either.

Motte adds speed and excitement to the 4th line, Gaunce adds an anchor

Well clearly you are an idiot


Coach had Granlund out at key times, Schaller is one of Bennings shiny penny's and Gaunce has only played what, 2 games? And already has the trust of the coach. He8s a lock, just like Gagner et al.

As a captain I would expect you would understand the importance of having an anchor.

Me too

This is both an agreement and a satirical social comment.

I'm not sure who you're talking about (Eriksson?), but at this stage, I doubt anyone is figuring anything out.

Also, I'm with you, I think Gaunce has already made the team

- 1970vintage


I think....🤔 we're talking about Ericsson.

I can't see them keeping Archibald up and Gaunce makes an elite 13th forward. Rousell being injured opens the door.

That would be a disappointment, motte deserves to make the team not Gaunce.
- Makita


Motte had outplayed Gaunce but his waiver status makes him more valuable in the minors. He'll be back up soon to take the sting off of the vanek trade.

As a captain I also understand the need for a burst of speed to take corrective action when faced with a difficult situation, you don’t through out an anchor unless there is no other option.

Here there are other options so use them.

If not before the game, certainly after, Archie, Gauds, Joules and Motter get sent down. Rousse to IR, Dorse to LTIR. I think Lepper will find himself on waivers.

Clearly you haven't heard that Sutter and Beagle will be taking on that challenge. Horvat and Pettersson will get to play against other teams 4th lines.
- 1970vintage


Oh, OK. That’s perfect then. I thought it was going to be a long season, but it’s actually going my to be a very short season.

I'm sure it was a typo, but funny

You should have said something about wind in the sails, or tacking or made a reference to pirates of the Caribbean.

Both figuratively and literally

Edit

Also, we're doing a feature with Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards right now, really grat bubbly and the still wines are solid. Plus Gordon is so dreamy

Yes a typo, but I’m pretty sure you understood the context.

I was under the impression that the team was to give the deserving prospects a spot on the team....Gaunce so far has shown not to be deserving.

If you believe Benning was actually going to "make room" I have a bridge you should be very interested in buying


Also, while Gaunce maybe hasn't stood out, Green already knows what he has there, whereas Motte is relatively new. I haven't watched any of the games except for the home win (shootout), but hasn't Gaunce only played 2 pre season games whereas Motte has played 5?

Gaunce deserves to be waived based on pre-season play






Problem is that so do 5 other forwards lol
