Tomas Tatar – Penalty issues have seen him moved to the third line, is it just a message being sent for him to be cautious taking penalties and he is still a pivotal piece to the top shutdown line? Is this a permanent spot for him and is Jonathan Drouin a long term solution? Who do you think fits best if Tatar stays on the third line?
Ryan Poehling – With a bigger sample size, what can be said about the youngster’s play? Is he an NHL-ready player? Is sending him back to the AHL the right move?
