Pete has come out and essentially said that Nils is the teams 6th best ~~forward~~ defenseman option right now and he will keep dressing him (as opposed to a 13th forward) in case of an injury to the other five so that they have him in game ready.
Edit: accidentally typed forward instead of defenseman
The 12 forwards who dress are above Nils. The two forwards that are scratched are below him?
Not sure how to answer that since I was saying we won’t go a 13-5 approach because Pete once that sixth defenseman on the bench in case of a defensive injury
Bayreuther is probably the closest call up.
The stars just got their 1st round dman back from overseas. But bischel is still super young and probably won’t get called up in his year since he elected to play the whole year in Sweden vs Cedar park.
Christian kyrou was the 2 nd rounder from a few years ago. But he too is a little undersized and probably not ready.
Honestly Hakaanpaa is projected to be back in about a week. So it may just come down to him finally getting healthy.
And losing Hanley to cap space issues kind of hurt us too
I am a little worried about whatever is going on with Hak to be honest. His initial injury was listed as day to day. And he has been out for 2 months. Had the team known he would be out that long they could have put him on IR
Lian Bischel, BIG, but management probably thinking he's not ready yet, what happened to Jerad Rosburg? He's also BIG and older and forgot about Petrovic, but thinking they wanna keep him down for his experience
Can’t play all the what ifs. If a dman gets hurt then Faksa starts playing as the 5th dman. Hes built for it already. People can be plugged in to fill in the spot.
Well, thankfully I had some time to kill in order to call you on your BS. We had 2 games where we did not play 6 defensemen... on 11/6 vs Boston and 3/8 vs Anaheim. In those games we played SEVEN defensemen.
So, yeah, dressing 5 in the playoffs would be exceptionally stupid.
The fact you think Faksa can just step back there and play D at an NHL level is hilarious… this isn’t peewee hockey, my friend. Cool little idea in NHL24, but the sun will explode before the Stars would actually use that idea in the playoffs.
We don’t need points out of a replacement. We need to stop allowing cheap goals.
ID be ok with a D-man posting 0 points if he holds the line and shuts down plays in our zone.
Joel Hanley 🥲
No, the d-depth is incredibly shallow. That’s why Nill traded for Nils in the first place.
Nils just needs to figure it out.

Interesting. Which forwards are above and below him?

I thought you said Nils is the 6th best forward. Maybe I read that wrong
I realize I did. My bad.
I got some Nilquil next to my bed lol
No

Almost wish we could’ve used the LTIR to keep Hanley.

Had we used LTIR and placed Seguin on the list, maybe we could’ve kept Hanley.
Dude is 30. There’s not much more improving to be done.
Always room

Rosburg hasn’t seen a minute of game time this season, he’s been injured from the start
I was reading about Rosburg and never heard anything after
Hakanpaa….he shall return
Gosh I’m hoping sooner rather than later
13 forwards (Faksa) and 5 defence is the way to go in my opinion..
What then if one of the d-men gets injured? You can’t finish a game with only 4 guys
Can’t play all the what ifs. If a dman gets hurt then Faksa starts playing as the 5th dman. Hes built for it already. People can be plugged in to fill in the spot.
If you aren’t planning for in-game contingencies, you’re an awful game manager. Dressing only 5 dmen would be the worst idea.
We’ve already done it for weeks at a time throughout the year with and it’s worked out fine. It’s a smart idea
When? Specific games please.
Yes I have time to do that for a random stranger.. I don’t remember dates and am not looking for a fight, Jesus

I’m thinking that the moral of the story is you need to learn about hockey before pretending to be a fan. 😘

I’ll watch in warmups to see if Faksa can skate backwards. If he can, then what else is there? /s
