Mike Johnson

Like, that's a guy you can play with.

Hitting Krebs.

Obviously, maybe more jam in his game.

He's playing a big-time role right now for Buffalo.

He's a smaller guy, similar kind of body, not as talented, but maybe more grit in there.

But I think he probably should play more.

And the obvious one is Easton Cowan.

Like, you know, it's time.

This is the reality of where they are in the standings.

And veteran guys won't like it?

Well, I'm sorry if you're Steven Lorenz or Callie Yarncroke and you wish you could play more.

You had 60 games to play more.

Now we're going to find out what else is there.

Quillen, Bo Gru, whoever you want to bring up for the minors, Cowan, Robertson, whoever it might be.

That's what these last 20 games were for, to see what you have in the NHL.

I mean, there's two parts to that noodles, right?

Like one, you could try tactically something different, whether it's lineup-wise.

I do, you know, the idea of tomorrow's in the wing, that's not terrible.

Because I think, you know, him driving the second line next year, it's centered that they probably should explore what that might look like differently.

Because I don't know if that's going to work as well for them.
