No Tavares (illness) or Woll (lower body) at main practice, though Woll working out alone.
Craig realizing that Timmins is bad confirmed
Timmins lost his spot ?
Let’s see if he can rise to the occasion
As he should. If you want to keep him you need to play him and if you want to trade him and want anything back you need to showcase him because nobody’s trading any actual assets for a 7th D who hasn’t played this season.
I wish that they would just go back to Benoit-McCabe and run a sheltered 3rd pairing of OEL-Lily
Timmins still sucks so I’m all for giving him a chance.
Hope to god he can actually do something with it. He’s on his last legs here in Toronto I’d imagine, with no management or coaching staff remaining with any connection to him.
At 3M he’s gonna need to be better than a decent-good yet replaceable third pairing guy to stick much longer.
This is your chance. Timmins is garbage…prove it to your coach and all of the Lilly truthers out there that you can beat this guy out and earn your spot. Now or never.
Timmins was in no way an upgrade over Liljegren. I do think I have a soft spot for Lilly, so maybe I’m biased. But I’m really hoping he rises to the occasion
Liljegren is better than timmins, he’s going to show why he’s paid 3 mil
Lilly is best option for regular season. Maybe added weight helps him in playoffs or Hakanpaa if healthy, can take his spot then.
Lilly deserves a chance under Bérubé. I think he has less expectation in the new system. Everyone looks better back there
Plot twist Liljigren and Benoit scratched, Timmins – Myers 3rd pair.
I still don’t get why the new coach would think they need more offensive powered defenseman, we really don’t lmao.
For what it’s worth, this lineup —
Knies – Matthews – Marner
Robertson – Domi – Nylander
Pacioretty – Tavares – Jarnkrok
McMann – Holmberg – Lorentz
Reaves, Dewar
Tanev – Rielly
OEL – McCabe
Benoit – Liljegren
Hakanpaa
Woll
Stolarz
— is $780K under the cap and looks like the strongest, deepest team they can ice with the current roster. They’d just need to unload Kampf (whose role has been really reduced under Berube) to make it work.
Rise to the occasion? He was never a main concern on this roster until Timmins got the main spot. Stop making up news stories to pump clicks online. We’re going to look stupid in this trade because his value based on the cap hit is not getting us anything back. Too early in season for any sort of meaningful deal
Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why Liljegren was given this contract? To sign a player to $3M AAV for him to then not make the opening night roster is strange or be in the lineup every game is odd.
