Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[Hockey Duckie]

Killorn isn’t screwing anything up, he’s playing his game. A style of game quite a few of us feel isn’t suited to Carlsson’s strengths. That’s it. We’re not saying Killorn is at fault, and most of us also point out that Carlsson needs to share blame for his bad plays he makes far to often.

I think Mac and Killorn are on the same page of how to play, but Killorn is better defensively. I'd like to see Mac center Killorn and have Cutter on the wing.

Vatrano-Strome-Terry
Cutter-Mac-Killorn
Z-Carlsson-Fabbri
Harkins-Lundy-Johnston (if he actually delivers hits and fights instead of hugs)

I’d be more than fine with that.

Killorn's speed (or lack thereof) is the problem. He still has good instincts and he's rediscovered his hands miraculously. I'm stuck with how to get the most out of him - feels like him next to Z or Leo IS the answer until we upgrade the top 6 and he can play lower in the lineup (my preference)

I think the problem right now is he needs to play with someone that can slow the game down. Carlsson hasn't learned how to do that (yet?). Zegras can, McTavish can, Terry probably can. Carlsson seems to need guys that can play with the speed and pace he does.

I agree completely with Mac/Killorn, but I think Cutter is one of, if not the fastest forward we have right now and might be hampered by those two.

Z is pretty quick but he is good enough to slow the game down... I kind of wonder what this would look like:

Vatrano-Strome-Terry
Mac-Z-Killorn
Cutter-Carlsson-Fabbri

If we’re going that route, I’d prefer send Fabbri to whoever will take him and create a somewhat sheltered kid line. Cutter- Carlsson- Colangelo or even try Pastujov if we think he’s earned that cup of coffee yet.

We have that Russian kid coming in March, the one from the khl. Hopefully he fills lundys spot next season

I'm very unsure if Galimov will be coming based on the interviews i've seen.
