Machine of Loving Grace Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I love our top six right now. Once Weise, Moen and Prust are back I'm betting they just bump Bournival, White and Bourque out of the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'd bump Eller out of the lineup or have him trade spots with Bourque. Eller is even more useless on the wing then center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 White hasn't looked very good in my eyes since he's had a roster spot. Made some terrible plays against Tampa. I was thinking he may be a bit banged up? Bourque is such a bum, if anyone is getting sat it should be him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 True he is a bum, but he has recently been better than Eller. Who is good for 1-2 dumb penalties, a costly turnover in each zone and for his size isn't tough on the puck. I actually think White has been pretty solid all year.

Who is good for 1-2 dumb penalties, a costly turnover in each zone and for his size isn't tough on the puck. I actually think White has been pretty solid all year. Ryan White has had a great season. People were annoyed when I kept talking about how he was offensively better than Eller when he returned but he was. This has been a terrible year for Lars Eller. I'd send him to the Ducks for Silfverberg in a minute if that deal was on the table but all said, much like Plekanec did (and White), Eller deserves a chance at redemption and to make up for this awful season. I just hope he starts making up for it TODAY instead of waiting for next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think Eller is going to get moved at the draft. I'd like to see him swapped for Zach Kassian, he's a right winger who puts up similar point totals to Eller, and could benefit from a change in scenery. We have enough centers that are better than Lars Eller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough centers that are better than Lars Eller. Its a tough call moving a player that's so young and I'm sure will have a bright future. M.B can resign eller for cheap and I honestly think signing him is the right thing to do(If the price is right). I see where your coming from though, the kid frustrates the hell out of me.

JoeLassister Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I will say it again. I would definitely not move Eller if it is not for a real upgrade. Eller + Beaulieu Eller + 1st pick Eller + Beaulieu + 1st pick (throw Bourque in the mix anytime) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Bourque has zero value to anyone sadly. I bet Bergevin would have kept salary to move him. Eller, I'm not sure if he needs new scenery to needs a summer to get his head back in the game. He plays like a guy who has zero gameplan.

Wont listen to game anyways, is glorified exhibition game. The, as some predict, 'ugly' AHL game may be more entertaining. Was nice to see Flames beat Tampa yesterday.

Neech Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Therrien should give Markov a game or two off down the stretch. Play him under 20 minutes per night at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Dean Brown rivals the homer CBC goofs for ignoring the game and the other team's perspective, sports journalism at it's worst. I'll watch RDS and I don't even know how to say "cat" in French.... Update: oh boy oh boy, it's on CBC too! Options ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Therrien should give Markov a game or two off down the stretch. Play him under 20 minutes per night at the very least. But at optional skate, Markov is out there. So maybe he is 100% fine and wants the workload? But, I wouldn't play him over 20:00 if possible. And a scratch tomorrow, and/or next Thurs vs Isles may be a good idea? so, I guess I agree 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
