Darnell Nurse will play the right side tonight. Stuart Skinner starts in goal. That's right. Darnell Nurse, who's uh I'm trying to recall the amount of times he's played over in the right side D during his time as an Eventon oiler. Uh the oil's gonna pull Ty Emerson out of the lineup. They're gonna make uh wholesale changes to their line combinations as well. We'll tell you Brendan Uh I don't know when uh fill when the orders elected not to match on Philip Roberg and it was a uh Sunday uh day out in uh probably the third week of August that they executed the trades of Cody C number three for Ty Emerson and then uh went and got Villi uh Vasily put Coles in for a fourth round pick.

Something might be up here with Broberg. It's hopeful this does not bode well for Dylan Holloway. But I didn't envision at that point that we'd be seeing Darnell Nurse on the right side of the defense six games into the season. What about you?

Evan Bouchard was the tenth overall pick in the twenty eighteen and he was p p playing behind a fourth and fifth rounder. Some of you might say, Well Bob it was a meritocracy at the time and others would sit there and say, What the hell are you guys doing from a development perspective?
But the one thing that was strange is when they elected to play Bouchard and Ethan Bear together, they didn't ask the veteran to go over to the left side. They made the rookie, Bouchard, go over to the left side. And conversely, think about what transpired with Philip Roberg, and I know there's a lot of fans critical of the Oders Organization for the handling there and
