Todd Cordell: On Johansson, Severson, and 5v5 play

Mojo has looked great even if the scoring stats don't back it up. Hopefully putting Bratt on his wing will help a lot. Top line has been great but we desperately need some secondary scoring.

Our secondary scoring has been abysmal so far. And idk if Bratt solves this.

Q down again

Bratt will hep . but he is a playmaker also. Who shoots???
Maybe put Wood on that line ??
He shoots all the time .but he's better by himself.
I think the idea was to have Mojo and Bratt set up Zacha -But he does not want the puck either. ????????

Need a scorer on that line . I know Hyes said he wants to leave #1 alone but........

Hall- Nico - ????
Mojo - Zacha- Palms
wood - Zajac -Bratt
Boyle - Dea - ????

Trade for a legit 2C and move Pavel Z to RW.

Yeah, Nash is retired because of injury problems and is a career winger. This is a good idea.

(frank) if I know. That's for the GMs to figure out.

Alexander Kerfoot? We could trade them Butcher. Too ironic?

I know he's a winger but I didnt know he retired. I figured if he still wanted to play can get him on the cheap and get 20 goals.

Thinking we should go after Nazeem Kadri, as much as I hate him, guy hasn't had 6 40+ pts seasons (okay its really 5 but I am counting the 39 as 40+). He has 4 years left at a $4.5m cap hit. People much less talented are going for much more ever since the Tom Wilson deal. Even though he is a C and we are deep there, I think that taking some of the pressure of center off of Zacha, and shifting him to the wing will make him more comfortable shooting the puck. Rumor has it that Nazeem would be the odd man out if Nylander does sign a LTD, as they would need to clear additional cap space if they intend to keep Gardiner.

Toronto is the obvious target with them desperate to sign Nylander, and if anyone knows how to work cap strapped teams, it is papa bear Ray.

Nazeem is a little female dog that constantly whines.

I hope the return of Bratt helps. In the past, Johansson and Bratt have shown good chemistry on the ice. Otherwise, I like Todd Cordell's idea of playing Wood with "pass happy" Johansson and Zacha.

we're gona get smoked today..

Why a noon start?

We’ll be fine. Travis and the Texans are reunited.

Joey Anderson in. Mojo out (illness). 2nd Line is Wood- EZ PZ - Dea

Kevin Rooney going looney centering Boyle and Anderson.

No defensive changes so more fun with Gryba!

Isn’t any too much?!

Story of this game same as the others. Keith has to stand tall to keep us in the game, top line has vast majority of the scoring, Severson playing great.

Isn’t any too much?!

Gryba has played 5:52 through 2 periods which is obviously terrible, but at this point I have a hard time believing that anybody else in the organization can be worse than this.

Yakovlev got called up, and while I understand you need righties to play the right side, so give him a look because this isn't working.
