Bad enough when he's a dman but to put him at forward is beyond stupid. Rather see Megna , Gibbons, or Uher get called up than see Engelland playing forward.
He's horrible - there are much better options for them
Really?! You are worried about Engelland? He has one less goal than Malkintent who only gets his points on the PP...
Fuck Malkin!
Please...Mengna...he was hot for a moment and where is he now...same with Kobasew...Empty roster space gets filled by POS Bortuzzo types

Yes scouty, it takes away a roster spot from someone more talented. I don't see how it makes sense to have a dman who can't even play dman to play forward.
At least Tang can play forward. I wouldn't mind making Tang a winger and calling up Brendan Mikkelson from WBS.
Letang needs to wise up. While I understand what Scouty is referring to with Letang, moving him out of a top pairing D role is not the answer. He has too much speed/skating ability and stick handling prowess to take him away from his position.
What he really needs to do more than anything is remain focused and not get agitated so easily. That is when he's most prone to mistakes and he's easily knocked off his game by 3rd/4th line goons who get in his kitchen.
If he can't run the point which he hasn't been able to do since he got back, I think Tang needs to be a winger until he gets his game back.
With the injuries to Martin and Scuderi, moving Letang to a wing just won't happen right now. If there was a major weakness on the top two lines at the wing, maybe you could entertain this thought. Being realistic though, I don't see this happening, not after he just signed the largest contract in team history for a defenseman. They are paying him all that cheese to be a TOI monster and to run one of the two special teams units. You can't take that away from him, IMO.
I'm more than willing to be patient with Letang. He has a very rare skill set for d-man in this league. What I really think he needs to work on, as I said in my previous post, is his focus. He gets knocked off his game to easily by antics of lesser opponents who know he can be baited into stupid situations/penalties.
