Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

Pretty sobering but nothing all too surprising.

Yeah let’s not put Zegras on the line where he was playing his best hockey of the season upon his return because muhhhhhhhh xGF

Bruh... I hate Cronin

 

[Sean Garrity]

If he’s hellbent on keeping the Vatrano-Strome-Terry line, I’d like to see:

Mac-Leo-Killorn/Colangelo
Cutter-Z-Killorn/Colangelo
Nesterenko-Hawkins-Johnston/Leason

I don’t mind those D-pairings listed above, gives Lacombe, Z on D and Minty free reign to be aggressive.

That line produced and right now that is the primary concern. Sometimes fancy stats are a little much. We need to start scoring goals and not just come close or look good. Need some dirty goals also.

I’ve said it before , have no issues with Killorn with Leo as long as the other winger is someone like Zegras, Mac, or even Cutter.

Maybe Cro is putting him on the wing for a ramp up period? Outside of Vatrano-Strome-Terry our line composition is a mess

I don't know why Rudolf is complaining about reuniting the Cutter-Mac-Fabbri line, especially with such a large sample.

Cutter-Mac-Fabbri

Games = 22​

TOI = 178.4​

GF = 50.4%​

xGF = 38.48%​

I could understand saying the GF being higher than xGF being luck. But with such a large sample, there has to be other reasons for such a discrepancy between actual production and fancy stats such as that line can finish on their counters. Anaheim needs actual goals.

Another factor for liking Cutter-Mac-Fabbri is that Mac helped Cutter boost his offense more. Ofc, Mac did help boost Carlsson out as well. Putting the line back together means Cronin has two lines he's depended before that worked recently, the other being the Terry line.

A third factor is to allow Zegras to ease back onto the ice at wing.

 

[MMC]

Likely for Zegras getting activated

Big boss "do nothing" Ross is bulletproof lmao

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Wish we could've seen Zegras-Carlsson-Colangelo, but oh well maybe next year.

Watching the Kings game. Man I would love for Cutter to model his game after Adrian Kempe..
