because the coach doesn’t trust them! and better ones will take their spot (Engstrom, Reinbacher…)
and yes, it is imperative to win a cup. your 3rd pairing must be physical and able to play on the PK, something Marty so far never did with Struble and wifi. he plays Matheson 25 min instead. that’s why I proposed wifi in a trade for a #2C, while he still has some value. if they’re not gonna dress him… might as well gett something in return, no?yeah, they may not be getting the ice time you’d give them, but both are regulars in the lineup, it isn’t like they were both constantly healthy scratches….
this is what I meant earlier, it isn’t because MSL doesn’t like or trust them, but they do have flaws they need to work on to deserve additional ice time imho.
well why then would both go..?

I suspect Struble and Carrier are more likely candidates to be pushed aside.
I would have said Matheson, but he has played great with Dobson all season.
there no universe where cArrier gets pushed aside, well this year at least
both will go imo. too bad they’re the only 2 bringing some thoughness. unless they can’t sign Matheson, then Struble could stay as #6.

I’d be surprised if Hughes and Gorton didn’t have that aspect to the game in mind, even if the typical “goons” are basically gone they’re definitely aware that physicality is still important to win…
I’m still wondering who of Xhekaj or Struble will end up staying

If they keep Little WiFi then Big WiFi can focus more on just playing his position rather than trying to run around taking numbers and being the muscle, I am hoping his game will improve. I like the physicality and shot too much to dismiss.
I’m still wondering who of Xhekaj or Struble will end up staying (I doubt they’ll be keeping both long-term) but I too would like to see things work out for the two brothers, it would be awesome to have them both playing and win together.
it’s not that he doesn’t like him. he doesn’t trust him, different. that’s why he and Struble only play 10 min per game while Matheson is often above 25.

how about a 1st round pick (top10 protected) and wifi?
They are not 1 player away from winning the cup this year, so I would not be willing to part with a 1st round pick unless it was for a long-term asset.
