Will Harris and Barron both be lineup? Looks like it. I imagine they'll have Harris in the 3D spot on the right in Wideman's place and that will be the only change on the back end.

DON Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Romanov 22 Harris 21 Barron 20, i like it, what do they have to lose, goalies might see as bit more challenging, especially vs Tampa. (maybe they will just give the starter a shot limit before switching) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a HUGE difference between throwing prospects into roles they are not ready for, and hope we make the playoffs, and playing prospects to evaluate them and give them a taste of the NHL, at the end of a year with zero expectations. That doesn’t mean they need to pegged as starting in the NHL next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not like playing 11 forwards hasn't been done before by this coaching team. It will give them the chance to play Harris in situations they feel are good for him, and playing Wideman on the 4th line would not be the end of the world. Anyways. Seems like I am the only one thinking this, sometimes I wonder why I bother posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I am the only one thinking this, sometimes I wonder why I bother posting Considering Montreal's fourth line hardly plays anyways, Wideman as a winger could have made some sense; it's not like Tyler Pitlick is a must-play player at this point. Assuming he was open to it, that might have been a reasonable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I am the only one thinking this, sometimes I wonder why I bother posting I doubt if Wideman is an improvement, or even a crutch for two green D’s. He’s at best best a 7th D anyways. If you are playing guys to evaluate them, not sure why you’d even want them o have the crutch of a guy like Wideman anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I am the only one thinking this, sometimes I wonder why I bother posting You post because you are a fan, with ideas and the courage to speak them ... we sometimes/often disagree but I appreciate the posts. I was curious how Barron has been used ... his three games have been 17:55 (more than Schueneman) then 20:43 (more than CS and Wideman) and finally 18:40 (more than CS, CW and Edmundson) ... MSL clearly doesn't believe in "managing minutes" for young defencemen ... of course, Barron had a couple of NHL games and 50 AHL games under his belt ... I expect Harris will get at least 15 minutes unless he is getting absolutely torched ... which might have been the reason to dress a 7th defenceman, who gets minimal icetime unless the kid totally face plants and needs to sit for his own good.

I could see anywhere from 6 to 16 minutes. Will St Louis give him some PP time? Barron stepped in from playing in the AHL not NCAA & 2 NHL gms under belt.

Commandant Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Leafs blow 5 to 1 lead and lose in OT to Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 11 hours ago, Commandant said: Leafs blow 5 to 1 lead and lose in OT to Florida. That should put a damper on all the triumphalism after they beat Tampa. (That said, I’m worried about the Leafs this year. I mean, I worry about them every year because I loathe them so much, but their stars do seem to be committed to “doing the little things” that characterize the elite players on winning teams. Hope I’m wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
