Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[McDonald19]

Can we LTIR Killorn yet?

Gauthier-Zegras-Colangelo

 

[2faded]

I have no complaints about Fabbri-Leo-Terry from the last game but I think splitting them up is better for our overall offense since they're the only two doing anything.

I don't want Killorn back on the top line. What about Strome on the top line? Might sound crazy but he's 3rd in points on the team and can take faceoffs for Leo (even if he's only at 45% it's still an improvement).

Drop Killorn to the 4th line where he belongs. Bring up Colangelo to play on the Zegras line.

I guess we would have to send someone down. Can Lacombe be sent down? I would send him or Luneau down. We don't need 8 D up anyways.

Fabbri-Carlsson-Strome
Vatrano-McTavish-Terry
Gauthier-Zegras-Colangelo
x-Lundestrom-Killorn


We really need a top 6 winger.

I know this is wishful thinking (dream) and maybe not the best use of caphit. But i would be stoked if we could bring in Nylander to play with Carlsson. Allows Toronto too resign Marner?

No thanks

No thanks

He has a full NMC so you don't have to worry. Great player though.

He'd be a great addition but what would be the cost?

Zegras should never play the wing again. It is a failed experiment. He is at his best when he is a center. It is on the coach and GM to put him with the right linemates to make it work.

 

[Reveille1984]

The only problem with Zegras at C (which I agree he looks much better at) is either him or Mac end up stuck on the third line with shittier players since our wing depth is so bad.

I feel like McTavish is probably better suited at 3C since he actually has a shot and can probably find more space/time against weaker opposition. Zegras is too much of a pass first guy to waste his skill on a lower line with guys that can't take advantage. We need to get at least one of these dudes going soon.

I think the answer is just play McTavish on the wing. He plays a heavier game that I think is more suited to battling in the corners and playing wing anyway. That's pretty much the play where Terry's last goal was scored.

Another option would be to try McTavish at wing. I'm notbsure I buy that wing depth is bad.
Terry, Vatrano, Strome, Killorn, Gauthier, Fabbri. We just don't have any big standouts outside of Terry. But all of those guys should be top 9 players if not top 6 in most cases.

If you look at what makes Zegras and McT great in a vacuum. Playing Zegras at C will lean on all of his strength, vision, passing and creativitiy. McT is good in boardbattles and have a great shot, he's not a great playmaker, great without the puck and can play a fast touch and go style. Is great at finding space for a shot on goal. He should be a winger and there is nothing wrong with that. Let's be honest McT is not great defensivly as was hoped. Honestly i think they could work together. Add Gauthier on the wing and we might have a future great line.
