Play prout and let Andersson watch the game from the box.
I'd rather Valamaki gets one more game under him before throwing in another rookie. Gives Peters more information to decide o. Whether or not he wants to pair Andersson wtih hannifin or valamaki.
If the reason for Prout over Rasmus is this, it makes perfect sense. Two rookies in the defense is a recipe for trouble. Prout has the experience and Rasmus was just recalled.
If it’s just to start a fight, that’d be pretty dumb.

Yeah, that's possible. But it is interesting to see that Rasmus Andersson actually played in more NHL games last season than Prout.

I agree I don't think it would happen. I like that Hamonic stuck up for Dube but only because the hit was a bit dirty. Not a fan of players starting fights just because a teammate was hit with a clean check.
Interesting though it looks like there is some history for these two. Grunbranson with decision.

The hit was only dirty because Gudbranson was a split-second late. It's not like he lined Dube from the opposite half-wall and took six strides into him.

Right, early. And this is one of those situations in which the dramatic difference in two players's size renders a hit much higher-looking than it actually is.
The key point here is that this was a split-second incident without premeditation. It's interference and if it were up to me the head contact would be an automatic major. But not "dirty" in the sense that Gudbranson was taking a cheap shot.

This was not a split second decision. He has Dube lined up and comes in and finishes the check when the puck isn’t even close to either of them. This his was 100% predatory and 0% reactionary. It was a cheap shot on an unsuspecting player. Why was Dube unsuspecting? Because the puck was no where near him.

I think hitting guys without the puck needs to be a more serious penalty. Interference doesn’t really do it justice.
In football, it’s the difference between holding and unnecessary roughness and supplementary discipline.
