Count me in as curious to why Nesterov is out but intrigued to see Mackey.

Excited to see MacKey.
Maybe it's just a way of trolling the Canucks. "look how deep we are on defence".

Makes sense to start rotating some other guys in. They’ve gotta play too.

I think it's going to be important to roll the taxi squad in when we can. They need to see reps to remain fresh, and the team is still invested in the future of Kylington and Mackey so they need to make sure they get chances to play, ven if there arent injuries.

I have no problem cycling the bottom d and forwards.

I think this is also a pretty clear indication of where Kylington is in managements eyes as well.

I feel like Kylington is better than a #8 dman. Hell I think he is better than a #7.

He is good enough to be in most teams top 6 IMO.

It’s a shame how this has all worked out as he has an intriguing skill set.

I agree I like Kylington.

Maybe they want to see Mackey in action and determine if he is indeed ready to slot in if needed and that would allow them to deal Kylington...maybe a Bennett/Kylington combo for a player somewhere who would assume Sams spot on the team.

Am I mistaken or wasn't there a rule that taxi squad players had to play a certain number of games? Or am I just making that up?

Guys like Kylington and Mackey haven’t played meaningful games in forever. Working them into some games makes tons of sense to me.

I think you're just making that up.

Maybe you're thinking about the fact that they'll need to clear waivers again every time they play 10 NHL games. That's the only thing I can think of that relates to games played by taxi squad players.

I think Nesterov has been a bit of a revelation so far this season, and I liken him somewhat to what Hamrlik brought for the Flames in general, and more specifically, what he brought as a partner for Phaneuf.



I do think he made a couple of mistakes in the last game, but was mosly solid IMO. Maybe it was those mistakes, maybe it is simply making sure other D get some reps, or maybe it is even a small injury or bump that he could play through but considering it is at this point in the season, might as well give him a break.



However, this is a condensed schedule, and the more a team can move guys in and out of the taxi squad this year, the fresher this team will be.


Excited to see Mackey and what he can bring tonight. Kylington I am sure will get some reps too. Hopefully all 3 play really well every time to the point that it gives Ward fits as to who he should play the next game.

Could be banged up a bit too. Certainly not a slight on his game.

I'm really excited about Mackey, I hope he has a good game

Injuries are going to happen, so it's smart to get another defenseman going so we don't have to throw anyone in cold

The D has been great so far IMO. Nesterov will get back in the lineup soon enough, he's been solid

Nesterov shouldn’t be taken out. I personally think he’s been very good.

Who would you swap out instead? Valimaki?
