DevilMinder Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Per TG/Chere on twitter Dainius Zubrus is placed on IR and Andrei Loktionov is recalled from Albany . .. Guess we see the russian sensation sooner than we thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here's an idea. Matteau-Loktianov-Kovalchuk Elias-Zajac-Clarkson Henrique-Josefson-Butler CBGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersSuck23 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here's an idea. Matteau-Loktianov-Kovalchuk Elias-Zajac-Clarkson Henrique-Josefson-Butler CBGB Henrique on the third line? thanks but no thanks. lets not throw loktionov into the fire right away either. Theyd probably move jj to wing and center loktionov third line. first two lines stay as they have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njd3b1ink Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Who thinks loktionov can do a better job then JJ? To me they see interchangeable. Maybe JJ becomes trade bait if loktionov proves more useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 we can move barch from 4:00 mins to 6:00 mins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You guys get wayyyy too excited when a player from "the outside" joins our team. Our 1st year rookie and a player who the system is virtually unknown to is NOT COOL as our 1st line. Let's trust DeBoer on seeing how Lokti practices the next couple days and trust that he'll know where he belongs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Probably see something like this: Matteau/Butler - Zajac - Kovalchuk Elias - Henrique - Clarkson Josefson - Loktionov - Matteau/Butler Carter - Gionta - Bernier I like these lines a lot, especially because I too could see either Matteau or Butler complementing the 1st line very well (in very different ways). I've really loved what I've seen from Bobby Butler so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Wouldnt be surprised if Josefson sits one game to see what Loktionov can do. We all know Barch is playing against the Flyers.

caron14 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Josefson Loktionov butler as our 3 line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoArmySports Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Whoever will get Zajac out of this slump should be paired with him and Kovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wouldnt be surprised if Josefson sits one game to see what Loktionov can do. We all know Barch is playing against the Flyers. Exactly. Barch is here to play in the regular season against teams like the Rags and Flyers. I doubt he would be the one to sit on Friday. I can see Loktionov being a healthy scratch, which would give him some time to learn our systems before getting thrown into the fire. I also can see Matteau sitting out the game with JJ playing wing on the first line, and Loki centering the 4th line. I am interested to see what the kid brings.

Devilsfan118 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Probably see something like this: Matteau/Butler - Zajac - Kovalchuk Elias - Henrique - Clarkson Josefson - Loktionov - Matteau/Butler Carter - Gionta - Bernier I like these lines a lot. Although I want Barch in there for the tough games against the division, I think he's done a fine job so far in his role. However I'd still swap the bottom 6 (ie, Carter-Gio-Bernier would be the 3rd line) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't Calgary want a completely unrealistic return for Iggy as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
