Could be. The only specific thing the team have said about Jarvis is that he wouldn't be ready for the first couple of games but that he was going on the roadie. That lines up with a return tonight, potentially. It would mean Martinook would be stuck at center though, which is far from ideal. Still, you'd probably rather Jarvis get his first game in against the Canucks than the Oilers.
Yea, Marty did ok in a few stints at C last year or the year before, but its less than ideal....but i still think hes a better option than Brind'amour the younger. But, who knows. I have faith in Rod and GMET. They seem to navigate situations like this pretty good. It's a plug and play system that everyone in the Raleigh and Chicago know inside out. As long as they are bought in, they are usually set up for success.
FWIW, I thought Nadeau looked better this time around. He had some real nice stretches of play and didn't look overwhelmed like last season. He'll be back eventually.
