josh Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 rooney, Barron, Gauthier possible odd guys out Reaves, Hunt, Kravtsov probably aren’t every day players Zibanejad, Kreider, Kakko*, Reaves, Goodrow, Blais all injury/illness prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Pretty sure they aren’t done making moves. Have too many forwards at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Right now, I would go: Kreider - Zibanejad - Kakko Panarin - Strome - Kravtsov Lafreniere - Chytil - Goodrow 4th line options, depending on opponent Blais - Barron - Reaves Blais - Barron - Rooney Blais - Rooney - Reaves etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreider makes sense to me on that 3rd line. Yeah, it's overpaying for a 3rd liner, but that is offset by your '1st liner being on his ELC. He'll also get his PP1 ice time as the net front guy. I think Hunt might make his way onto that 4th line as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 You need a big, physical body in that top 6 until Kakko and Lafreniere become more physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the balance of that, and with Kreider, I can't see letting a contract or pay scale dictate where these guys play...you're right Gravy!!! Our Defense looks hot too: Fox - Lindgren Miller - Trouba Lunqvist - Nemeth Tinordi*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Is this a thread about acquiring Kuznetsov or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 You need a big, physical body in that top 6 until Kakko and Lafreniere become more physical Yup. This is why I went Kreider. I don't think it's a great idea to have all 3 of Kakko, Kravtsov, Lafreniere there when the other 3 guys (Zib, Panarin, Strome) are also soft. As much as I'd like to give Laf the top 6 role, I think 3rd line + worthwhile PP time would be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 That was possibly the worst roster in 20 years of this organization. At least.. I am pumped for the third and fourth lines and potential of so many players to play up and down the lineup. I dont even want Eichel this year. I want what we got plus a better backup goalie. We are back in the mix boys. This is a team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonybologna Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I know it probably wouldn’t be opening night lines, but I can see something like this down the line: Kreider - Zibanejad - Kravtsov Panarin - Strome - Goodrow/Chytil Lafreniere - Goodrow/Chytil - Kakko Blais - Barron/Rooney - Hunt/Reaves I think Kravtsov shines on that 1st line based on what we’ve seen from him so far. I think the 2nd line needs that addition of size and/or speed, someone to get pucks and go to the net (really think we could see Chytil moved to wing). Placement of kakko and lafreniere isn’t a punishment or lack of faith, I think kakko is just looking perfect for a 3rd line role and then laf puts that line over the top skill wise, would actually rather see Goodrow centering then here and Chytil 2RW, think Goodrow will rub off really well on kakko and laf plus we need that grit on the 3rd line. 4th line is gonna be revolving based on opponent. This just makes sense to me hockey wise though I know we’d like to see laf and kakko in the top 6, I don’t think that 3rd line is without purpose any longer with gallant+goodrow centering.
