I would do something like

Sheary/Eichel/Pominville
Skinner/Mitts/Reinhart
Erod/Larsson/Thompson
Wilson/Sobotka/Okposo
Elie

It might hurt Eichel, but he will still create, plus still top top defensive match ups, and that should be a dangerous 2nd line at the very least.

And if that doesn't get Mitts going it's on a bus to Rochester he goes

This is as simple as implementing moves suggested by Beady, Boss or Ion.

They need to do something, and they are limited in how effective it will be in the scoring department with boat anchors Okposo and Pommer...so I can't criticize too much....that said, might as well send Mitts down rather than play with those two.

I like to say that mine was a composite reflection of this community of posters, representing sentiments expressed (some over, and over, and over, and over.... and over again).
So, when you say Ion think of it as a collective post

Clearly though, we must address the white elephant in the room that seemingly no one wants to discuss...

What the (frank) is wrong with Sam, for a 2OA he should be producing much more.
He is clearly issue #1, ahead if Skinner for Housley and JBotts to address

It was worse then that, Fournette was caught on camera threatening to kick the a$$ of several Jag fans in the stands behind him.

I expect him to be cut this off season

You’ve made more than one suggestion.

Don’t sell yourself short.

Probably no one. I wonder if he is going to draw into the lineup or if they'll still roll with elie

4 points above 9th place NYI and the Islanders have games in hand.

Finish 2018 out with a win in regulation preferably.

Kyle Okposo may be on the fourth line with Johan Larsson and Remi Elie on Monday versus the New York Islanders.

Okposo was dropped to the fourth unit at Sunday's practice. He hasn't scored a goal for 21 straight games and he hasn't picked up a point in his last 14 outings.


You don't say

Housley wouldn't say which forward is coming out and said that Eichel is a game-time decision. Eichel was one of the few that skated this morning. Smith will play either way. Pilut and Hunwick are out. Hutton is in goal.
