I like having Perron as a 1 time optionThat’s close to mine. Id go with this
Schwartz - Schenn - Kyrou
Maroon - O’Reilly - Tarasenko
Fabbri - Bozak - Perron
Steen - Thomas - Soshnikov/Jaskin
Minutes and quality of linemates will still be good imo.I wonder how upset Bozak will be when Thomas looks unreal and moves up to 3C and Bozak to 4C? When you watch videos of Thomas, his vision and skill is something we as Blues fans haven’t seen at center in a LONG time. Can’t even think when... maybe since Janny? Oates? Its unreal watching his playmaking ability. His shooting has really improved too.
I'd say the only locks are Schwartz, Tarasenko, and Schenn on the 1st unit. I'd also include Dunn being the lock on the 1st unit, as that's where he finished the season.
Considering how bad it was last year, we need to try anything to improve it, so who knows.
I think this is exactly what we will see.Opening Night:
Schwartz-Schenn-Perron
Maroon-O'Reilly-Tarasenko
Fabbri-Bozak-Steen
Barbashev-Thomas-Jaskin
Soshnikov and Thorburn as scratches
Sundqvist in San Antonio
I think this is exactly what we will see.
Our powerplay has a lot of options.
#1: Maroon net-front, Tarasenko and Bozak on wall, Dunn & Parayko on the point
#2: Perron net-front, Schwartz and Schenn wall, Pietrangelo & O'Reilly point
Something like that.

Not sure if serious?I doubt Dimitrij Jaskin will be playing 4th line in the coming season. He's been outstanding at this year's WC, and ready to make the next step. I don't see why guys like Maroon or Fabbri, and maybe even Steen, would be ahead of him.

He hasn't shown that at the NHL level yet, and the others have. In camp, he looks dominant at times. But, it just hasn't translated. This isn't new.
With that said, I personally think he's an excellent 4th liner, and that's where he should be until he proves otherwise in the NHL.
You watched him play in 7 preliminary matches. I’ve watched him play in 266 NHL games. But hey, that’s your opinion. I wouldn’t be mad if you’re right.Fair enough. I'm very confident that this "proves otherwise"-moment is about to come, and that he doesn't belong on the 4th line. I've seen him playing in all 7 preliminary round matches, and it's no minor aspect that he scored key goals in victories vs. strong group opponents Slovakia, Switzerland and Russia.
Sorry to say, but he will be on the 4th line. We just have too many wingers. Schwartz, Tarasenko, Perron, Steen, Fabbri, Maroon, Thomas/Bozak (whoever gets moved to RW). He's not better than any of them.Fair enough. I'm very confident that this "proves otherwise"-moment is about to come, and that he doesn't belong on the 4th line.
