Speculation: 2023-24 Roster Thread

[robbieboy3686]

So gonna likely see…

Z - Leo - Terry
Vatrano - Mac - Strome
Killorn - Rico - Silf

Silf is good at puck retrieval and passes ok, both killer and Henrique like to shoot. There’s a nice balance there, eventually leason probably gets a shot on that line

Admittedly I don't know a ton about Killorn but based on his age I'd guess speed-wise he is probably a good fit with Silfverberg, too?

Probably the prudent way to ease Killorn back into the fold. Then move up to the supposed "top line" when Carlsson is managed off the ice. We might have put too much on Drysdale's pallet, considering he missed most of training camp and then playing top pairing minutes to start the season. Drydale lasted only 2 games.

[Leonardo87]

PP1:

Killorn

Terry-McTavish-Zegras

Mintyukov

PP2:

Carlsson

Vatrano-Henrique-Strome

Fowler

Killorn is not great on the PP, should swap
Him and Leo.

Don’t think it matters too much since we are running a 1A and 1B, PP

 

[MMC]

Which forward do you guys waive when McGinn gets healthy?

 

[DaGeneral]

I feel like those 4th/5th lines could swap out based on matchups.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

McGinn

Silf would be the one who wouldn't be claimed but idk if I'd wanna do em like that

Groulx is an easy one (sorry, BO) as I think he'd clear easily. After that it definitely gets tougher... Probably either Jones or McGinn.

We aren't gonna carry 15 F though

I think it has to be Groulx too

 

[All Mighty]

I know Groulx isn’t popular on here, but the fact that he is a center and solid on the PK/faceoffs makes him more valuable to me than McGinn, Silf, or Johnston.

EDIT: I also think there is a much better chance he gets claimed over McGinn or Silf (though I would never expect Silf to be waived).

I would be fine if they waived McGinn instead I just think it's going to be Groulx

BO is more valuable to you than Silf or even Johnston? My lord what a take

I like Groulx more than most, but I think Silfverberg is still better, and Johnston has brought an element to the 4th line that’s been missing, and is a significantly better hockey player than I thought he was. He’s also walked into scrums where people were trying to take liberties, put 1-2 guys into hugs, and…the festivities immediately calmed down.

I think McGinn will be most likely to make it through waivers.

Well you are also the guy who called Galimov a top 5 prospect for us not too long ago.

We can all have questionable takes from time to time.

I also just don't think that they would waive Silf out of principle. Waiving Henrique was seen as kind of a dick move

lol, in terms of competition, the KHL is a tougher league than the three junior leagues combined. It was remarkable that he was playing there even with his young age

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Why was hagg recalled?

Bout to make dirk mad

I think Jones and groulx are the obvious options.

Silf is prob the best option but I doubt we do it

I guess a Henrique trade could be a thought too

 

[EXTRAS]

When I saw roster movesbi thought Drysdale had to be back. Zzzzz

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Why was hagg recalled?

Luneau on conditioning…. I assume Hagg just taking his roster spot

Still think Mac needs to be on one of the half walls on PP1 as the only threatening one-time option, put Leo down low like you said, and you give Terry his own unit and let him be the big dog on controlled entries on PP2. Not a big fan of Henrique in the bumper either, but it’s not like Newell Brown’s power play really uses the position for anything but aesthetics.

I kinda like the 1A and 1B set up, can split the opponents D similar at ES. Rangers live or die by their top unit , as do a lot of teams, and with Fox out a month really going to be tested

If we have enough skill to ice two strong units, go for it.
