Could put Reddick as a forward so he can use his speed and feistiness to agitate the opposition. That way he can push up all he wants without having to worry about getting back and he could use his class one timer. Leave Louis on D to maintain that size. For me Reddick is a better player when he’s going forward and pushing up the ice anyway.
We need to replace Faryna more than anyone imo. Reddick is fiesty and has speed, but like Fournier he generates his speed from skating from the back and I don't think he will be anywhere near as an effective forward as people would think. Hes not going to frighten D men in the slightest despite him being a real gamer. Hes also playing very well on D at the moment. Just my opinion.
There aren't many Faryna type players out there, hence why its such a huge loss to us. Guys like him are worth their weight in gold.
Without him we just lack that edge and character. His last fight fresh from injury against one of the toughest guys in Lepine speaks volumes as does the picture below......He fought when most of our guys wouldn't and was an out and out team 1st guy and warrior. Huge skates to try and fill asap!!!
