4th line just has a chance to score without Reaves on it. I actually was impressed with Reaves for a bit but the last couple weeks is what I thought we’d see happen with him.
I can’t but help to see the similarities between Dubnyk and Gustavsson. Dubnyk came out of nowhere to save the season and surprised everyone. Was quickly rewarded with a big contract only to discover we had already seen the best of him. Similar to what Gustavsson is doing now. No one including Guerin knew what to expect from him he was just a goalie we could get to replace Talbot to play behind Fluery. Now he looks like he should be the number one goalie. Is he playing at his ceiling now and once he’s been through the league a few times and there’s more of a book on him is there a regression coming? Should we do the same thing with him as we did Dubnyk even if we could?
They better figure out a way to sign Gustafsson. Let Fleury go if needed, he’s still good but his best days are behind him. I’m hoping they ride Gus for awhile here and get back into the race.
