Hi Derek! Thanks for the show, great analysis as always. Yeah, the occuring d-line situation with an oversupply of healthy and (!) good players seems to become an "issue" in the near future. Lavy shouldn't scratch Mancini and Jones, in my opinion. But surely you can't scratch a 4.5m Lindgren as well, even though I doubt his efficiency compared to those young guns in the long run, sorry. But I'm so happy that Smith and Carrick show up as major improvements on the team, which gives me a very good feeling for the cup run. I'm waiting for the ECF-backlash on Thursday, hopefully the Rangers will have their (small) revenge. All the best and take care, Dennis
Couldn't agree more with your thoughts Dennis. On the one hand the overabundance of defenseman is a good problem to have but conversely someone deserving of playing time (likely Jones) is going to get the short end of the stick. Small sample size but Smith and Carrick are fitting in seamlessly with the group.
Great game
