2024-25 Line Combos

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Quick turnaround game after the trades. ..I would look to keep 2/3 top 3 lines together as much as possible
rather than change all the top 3 lines we can change 1 and play the new guys on a line with Batherson
Move Perron back with Pinto and Amadio; already have played well together
Move Greig to C the 4th line

Getting Gaudette to the wing is one step from getting him in the pressbox.. really wanted his replacement yesterday

If that's the case we probably see:

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux (line is effective and tried)
Zetterlund-Pinto-Cozens (2 very good defensive guys get speedy big scorer on RW)
Perron-Greig-Batherson (this line should feast as 3rd line, Perron and Bath played well)
Cousins-Gaudette-Amadio (very good 4th line that can play more as 3rd line)

or

Zetterlund-Pinto-Amadio (this line faces toughest matchups).
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Cozens (our top line).
Perron-Greig-Batherson (Greig replaces Norris in what was an effective line last game).
Cousins-Gaudette-Giroux (depth line that isn't really a 4th line but more like a 3rd line.


Those lines all have trusted duos in one way or antoher

I like it except Gaudette should be in the press box ... almost completely useless and he definitely would hurt that line

Who would you prefer in the lineup over him once Cousins is back? I think our options (assuming healthy) are Jenik, Highmore, Reinhardt, Crookshank, and Halliday.

Idk if any are clearly better, I wouldn't mind seeing Halliday but don't think he's ready. Crookshank might be a better fit,

anyone practically... if Greig goes to 4C ., I'd rather have Jenik or Reinhart on the wing. more speed more jam more physicality, more 1st on puck, better board play.. better if you are looking in Halliday's direction I don't want him on a 4th line that is supposed to not hurt us and create energy. Reinhart and Jenik are better at the list provided.. When Gaudette is not scoring he hurts you. I'd go MacEwen if he is all better as well

You know what... Zack McEwan.

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Perron-Cozens-Batherson
Zetterlund-Pinto-Amadio
Cousins-Greig-McEwan (this line will get us so many penalties though, lmaooo

Cousins-Greig-McEwan

I forgot he was back, hey if he's looking good in Belleville (a long break might have him rusty) then sure.

 

[DackellDuck]

It's one game, but based on what I saw tonight, I'm not sure anyone want to shift Cozens to the wing.

It seems like a lot of his value will come from being a big body who cuts through the middle of the ice and goes right to the net, drawing the defenders with him.

A great complement to Batherson, who could use more space to operate on the perimeter.

 

[Cosmix]

I prefer this to that:

Tkachuk-Stützle-Giroux
Zetterlund-Cozens-Batherson
Perron-Pinto-Amadio
Cousins-Greig-Gaudette/Highmore

 

[DackellDuck]

Greig has become one of Green's more trusted players. Even since Norris and Pinto came back, he's been getting ~17 minutes a night of ice. I don't think he's moving to the 4th line.

I'm guessing we'll go with, to start:

Tkachuk - Stützle - Giroux
Zetterlund - Cozens - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Perron
Highmore - Gaudette - Amadio

Amadio and Perron could flip based on the flow of the game.

 

[Duncstar]

Greig Pinto Amadio have good chemistry right now. Especially how Amadio and Pinto play off each other.

I wonder who goes to that 4th line... it feels like Greig but he's been solid on the back half so far.

Do we try Perron up with Stutzle and Tkachuk again? I find Giroux not turning that top line into the danger it should be but this could be premature.

Tkachuk Stutzle Perron
Zetterlund Cozens Batherson
Giroux Pinto Amadio
Highmore Grieg Gaudette

I mean... these are great problems to finally have!

Get MacEwen back in the lineup if possible, though Gaudette was being his biggest threat on the 4th line

 

[SixthSens]

Would love to Staois to address the fourth line in the offseason… maybe bring Cousins back and try to sign a guy like Tanev as well.

I'd leave Giroux where he is and slide Perron in with Pinto and Amadio

replace Gaudette with MacEwen / Reinhardt / Jenik to put more speed and jam on the 4th line
