Time will tell with pre season. But between Cuylle, Othmann and Trivigno. Someone may end up snagging a third line LW spot.

I think Cuylle and Othmann will both be RW in the NHL. Especially with Panarin and Lafreniere on the left, feeding them one timers. 🤤

There's a good chance this won't work, for multiple reasons, but just kind of throwing this idea out there when it comes to the top 2 lines - 

Pan - Zib - Laf
Kreids - Trocheck - Kakko

I mean, it looks good to me, and gives opposing defenses 2 different looks, but I guess my concern is would that give us too many skill guys and not enough playmakers on line 1? And the opposite for line 2, a lot of playmakers but not enough skill guys?  I know Pan and Zibs have been linemates before, just can't remember why exactly it didn't work.

Bread - Vinnie - Krav

Laffy - Chyt - Kakko

Cuylle - Carp - Goodrow

 

Lindgren - Fox

Miller - Trouba

Jones - Schneider


This top 9 growing on me. Blais and Krav interchangeable. Kid line in tact.

 

Would kill to see a Cuylle - Goodrow - Trivigno 4th though.

Presume Kakko re-signs in all scenarios.

 

What I want:

 

Kreider-Zibanejad-Lafreniere

Panarin-Trocheck-Kakko

Blais-Chytil-Kravtsov

Goodrow/Carpenter-Hunt

Reaves

 

Lindgren-Fox

Miller-Trouba

Robertson-Schneider

Hajek

 

What I think GG will go with:

 

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko

Panarin-Trocheck-Goodrow

Lafreniere-Chytil-Kravtsov

Hunt-Carpenter-Blais

Reaves

 

Lindgren-Fox

Miller-Trouba

(Andy Greene off PTO)-Schneider

Hajek

Why make a new post when this is 100% what I would choose.

Problem is, Carpenter is going to be a PK1 staple. Gonna be hard to take him out and not put in another PKer.

If they keep the Kid Line together:

 

Kreider-Zibanejad-Blais

Panarin-Trocheck-Kravtsov

Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko

Goodrow/Carpenter-Hunt

Reaves

 

Lindgren-Fox

Miller-Trouba

Robertson-Schneider

Hajek

 

What we'll actually get:

 

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kravtsov

Panarin-Trocheck-Hunt

Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko

Goodrow/Carpenter-Blais

Reaves

 

Lindgren-Fox

Miller-Trouba

Hajek-Schneider

Jones

 

And Kravtsov will be the first healthy scratch to get Reaves into the lineup, lol.

Can we discuss Zac Jones or Matthew Robertson for defense?

 

I really liked Zac Jones when we saw him. I also like Robertsons size. Hoping either of the two make the big club. Is there a preference?

 

Personally, I think Robertson and Schneider would be a nice third pairing. They played together in Hartford too.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that they do not mix the DNA of Tinordi, Jack Johnson, Nemeth, Bitetti and McIlrath in a petri dish, hatch it, severely age it, give it a PTO, and put it in the lineup on opening night.

 

We already have it!  It's called "Gauthier"!!! 

 

Sorry Dude man @The Dude!!  I couldn't resist!  LOL
