That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

Nobody does, yet. Hopefully we'll have some idea soon.

If Mrazek can make a late season return, I still think we can ride Reimer/Ned into playoff position. With a fresh healthy Petr in net in the postseason, I don't really care what seed we are.

If he's done for the year, we are gonna have to do some shopping.

Again, I am not trying to knock on Reimer here (or even Ned - who I don't think is truly ready), but we can't put all our fortune on Reims and Ned if we are truly going for the Cup.

That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

I'd so trade Turbo for a legit goalie. Reims has played well for the most part...but we're at that point where Mrazek's injury is gonna catch up.

There is a reason that Ned cleared waivers.

Fair enough. But, Reimer is currently 4-1 on the season.

Nah I like Reims. He cant win every game and I think he was put in bad positions all game.  I just dont think he is enough and now we've seen two years in a row where injuries at the goalie position are costing us.

That game wore me out. It’s frustrating to lose to the Red Wings and then the Blackhawks. Reimer didn’t get much help tonight but this is the game I think Ned should have played in. The Canes schedule coming up:

Blue Jackets x2

Star x2

Blue Jackets

Panthers

I really don’t understand why RBA didn’t give Reimer a break. Now you’re looking at Ned’s first game coming against the top tier of the Central. It would have made more sense to start Ned tonight and let him, maybe, battle it out against the rebuilding/retooling Blackhawks. But I guess I have to hope there’s a plan.

I think they would have score 8 on Ned.  I know Reim gave up 6 but I dont think this game is on him.

I have a couple of thoughts on Turbo:

  • I think he is definitely rusty coming off being sick and will eventually get back on track.
  • He won't be traded because he is a good player on a terrific contract.
  • Ultimately, he may be shifted to a different line to get his "groove" bac

If we do trade for a goalie I expect a D-man and pick(s) would be traded.

The only issue I have with Petr coming back in the postseason is rust, it could be costly.

Maybe he'll be able to get back before then and get some games under his belt before the postseason.  He was off to a great start.

All that being said, our defense is better than they played the last couple of games.  I am sure RBA will let them know about it.

I think Turbo's contract is why a team would trade a decent goalie for him. Wish we would have went after Lehner back when he was an FA.  

I do think reshuffling Turbo is a good idea. I wouod definitely take him off the pp.

Not a Dman Id be willing to trade. At

I believe we did go after Lehner but he wanted more $$$$ than we were willing to pay!

    • So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?
    • Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%              
    • Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
