GDT: Kitties on break | General hockey discussion I guess

[KW]

Tippett was one of our best forwards in the playoffs last year. I'd prefer to keep him unless you can use him in exchange for an obvious upgrade somewhere on the roster. We have too many forwards, but let's hope we are not tested in that respect down the stretch.

I’m worried that we trade Tipp and Vatrano, and then our big guns go cold when we could have used secondary scoring. Vatrano is definitely due.

OT can work hard all he wants but if he doesn't show it on the ice..

.. then he can work hard on another team.

I think he needs more games to boost his confidence but he drags down the line IMO. We should trade him now before he flubs, which I feel he will be.

Saying that I'd rather trade Denisenko instead of Tippet. So bleh.

One could argue that OT has two goals in his last two games.

I agree Vatrano and Tippett supply valuable injury-insurance, but neither of them seem to have much chemistry with anyone. Both can score, both have a wicket shot, both have good wheels, but neither can seems to find a home, even when given good(not the greatest, but good) opportunities.

I'd love to keep both, but Frank is a pending UFA, and Tipp still seems to have trouble finding the white ice(and finishing), so, depending on the return, if one or both get moved, and it improves the team(subjective, I know), then so be it, imo.

We probably won't be healthy come playoffs anyway. I'm sure Acciari will find a place.
