Devilsfan118 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just don't see a spot for Elias anymore, though I'd love to see him dress somehow one more time so we can all give him a proper sendoff. He wouldn't be effective in a 4th line role, and even a 3rd line role is pushing it IMO. But there's absolutely no space for him in the top-6, unless Cammy goes down or something. If he wasn't considered when Hall, Cammy, and Palmieri were out for a little while then I think it might never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but there's also the possibility that his knee just isn't going to get where he needs it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) The death knell for the possibility of an Elias return, in my opinion, has been the viability of Miles Wood in the bottom-6, and how he's only getting better. He's making waves in his limited minutes, and when he wasn't there, Kalinin was doing okay as well. If neither of them showed up to play this season, there's a spot for Elias on the 3rd and 4th lines, but that hasn't been the case at all fortunately/unfortunately.

DevsMan84 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 So am I assuming that Viola has to give up/sell his stake or ownership (not sure how much of the Panthers he owns) now that he has a government position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being put in a trust and his family will continue to own the majority stake.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how he's doing it with that lineup. Their roster isn't bad - last year they got crushed by injuries and they added Werenski who has been real good, Wennberg has taken a step and so on. Their PDO is high and they're not the best team in the league or anything, but they're good (not great). On the other hand, the long term outlook with some of those deals, is kinda bleak.

CommonDreads Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I actually like their roster a lot, have good goaltending, a good defense with Jones, Savard, Johnson, and Werenski, and a forward group that has a good blend of skill and grit with Saad, Jenner, Wennberg, Foligno, Dubinsky, and Atkinson. I kinda thought they would be this team last year, but wrote em off this year when I saw them struggle under Tortorella, who has probably been the biggest surprise out of the success that Columbus is having. After his World Cup debacle everyone wanted to see Tortorella fail and all he's done is get the very most out of that Columbus team every night.

BostonNala370 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Congrats to Jagr for getting 1888 points breaking the tie and claiming 2nd place. I don't see him getting to first place but quite an accomplishment for a 44 year old hockey player . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree no change catching Gretz, but if he plays a couple of more years he could get 2,000 points which would be incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger27 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Wouldnt mind having JVR here, I still remember him playing hockey in HS, near by. Would be great to have another Jersey native back, and good player to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I just shudder at what it would take to pry him from the stubborn old prick who already set us back almost a decade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
