KREBS NEEDS MORE STRENGTH LIKE CASEY
I'm surprised this Krebs contract wasn't signed Day 1 of FA. He is lucky to get more than 825k and a 1 year 2 way contract IMO
If he played too long on the 4th line with a simplified game, then give him the option of going back to ROC to play an offensive role in the first line. I don't think he'd like that. Put up or shut up..
i do not care about ovechkin scoring record, and do not understand why an entire franchise and its players is being held captive to it..
Iโm curious how Lindy puts the d-corps together. I have no idea how the pairs will shake out. A lot to like talent wise, but the pairings look wonky to me. We canโt have another disastrous 3rd pair like we did at the start of last year with the E.Johnson/Clifton fiasco.
Iโm worried about Krebs blocking a Rochester player that deserves a spot more so than the cap hit
So I guess with Krebs signing , Adams is planning on carrying 14 forwards ( Krebs & Greenway spare ) , 7 D and 2 goalies? Or hopefully CBJ might be interested in either Greenway or Krebs in a trade?? I cant see Krebs or Greenway making the top 12 forward group over Kulich , who offers more speed and offence .
With Samuelsson making the top 4 D with Dahlin, Byram and Power I think there could be a battle between Jokiharju and Dennis Gilbert to make the third D pair with Connor Clifton ,the loser then becomes the 7th D man aka spare D man.
How about Ryan Johnson ?
No Joe Levi won't get better backing up UPL, he needs playing time and being the number one in Rochester is best for his development.
Krebs contract is ok to see what happens.
Levi not only will START the season as UPL's backup BUT by the end of the season AND going into the playoffs it will be Levi as the starter. Let's face it Levi has already surpassed UPL at this point in the UPL's development. Levi is a special goalie a once in a lifetime goalie and it will be a big mistake of Ruff if he plays around with Levi and his development. Levi has ALREADY blew up the AHL and he can learn nothing more playing in Rochester HE NEEDS NHL SHOTS period end of report.
last year for us was a bad year with scoring stats. Granato had too much defense focus and just assumed the offense would be there.. I think Krebs got caught in that. I think this is a good deal for both, because it's short. That said, it's also possible that both sides had the basic parameters and just waited to sign when he got to town for TC. As far as Samualsson vs Joki..Joki loses the battle. Samualsson has allowed Dahlin to get offensive knowing Matty would be back there and cover his backside if he gets caught. We just have to keep him healthy. Our D-Core is DEEP… with Dahlin, Samualsson, Power and Byram being our top 4 with Joki, Clifton, Johnson battling for the last 2 spots… with Bryson also knocking on the door.. This team looks like it could surprise more than a few..
Love the black and red border.
Yoki for me
Joe, is Tage really a Center? Do you think there is a world where Tage is a RW in Lindyโs Eyes? Maybe something likeโฆ
Peterka – McLeod – Tage
Quinn – Cozens – Tuch
Zucker – Benson – Greenway
Malestyn – Lafferty – Aube-Kubel
Just seems like Lindy type lines, IMOโฆ Flip flopping Benson and McLeod, as Benson developsโฆ
I agree with Donnie did kill Krebs career I think
Levi will be in Roch. No hurry.
LFG BOYS!!!!
What happened to the comparisons to the other divisional teams? You havenโt finished that yet.
Itโs strange to see Krebs as ruined. We simply have learned that he is not as good as we had hoped. Happens all the time, the margins are so thin.
There is a 0% chance Kulich is 1LW.
