  • I think I would be more worried if I was the Predators the Jets ran rough shot over the best d core in the league that was at full strength.

  • While there are a few aspects of Enstrom's game that I find frustrating, replacing him in the lineup with a clearly inferior player is ... obviously bad, not good.

Is he here to replace Chiarot? Offensively he does.

I'd say they're basically the same guy.  I really think he's here to give Poolman playing time with the Moose.

I'm not sure that the plan isn't to keep developing Poolman and give him the call up if there's an injury...  maybe Morrow is more of a replacement for Melchiori (?)

They are stylistically two completely different players.  Morrow made it to the NHL based on his offensive abilities and was even getting power play time in Montreal.  He's similar size to Morrissey and not overly physical.  Chiarot is purely a stay-at-home, big, physical defenceman.  They're really not the same at all. 

Morrow has bumped Poolman down the depth chart, IMO... if we were down to our 8th defenceman, you'd see Morrow in the lineup rather than Poolman.

All 6-7 defencemen are 'basically the same guy' - some have a bit more offence, some block more shots... but they're all interchangeable

And glad you know exactly what Maurice is thinking - reminds me of when everyone was trying to figure out where Quinton Howden was going to fit in our lineup

3rd line becomes 2nd line in 3, 2, 1...

Statsny still has a huge job to offset Ehlers and Laine's defensive lapses...  keep them as third line and PP specialists - enjoy the goals

In reality, Ehlers-Statsny-Laine will be our fourth line when Lowry's back and we're in the playoffs
