Hindsight is 20/20 but a retool could've started if McAvoy was traded at the draft. Something like the Sergachev package. (*Note Sergachev cap hit brought in Guentzel.)
Lmao, as soon as I saw that you posted in this thread I knew it was to bash McAvoy...props for consistency, wish I didn't have to read your opinion on him in every single thread though, maybe keep it to one or two?Hindsight is 20/20 but a retool could've started if McAvoy was traded at the draft.

Honestly they should roll their lines like the Kraken did a couple years ago when they had Sprong/Geekie on their bottom two lines. Pretty much had 4 lines, all spread out playing similar minutes. Keep it simple and forecheck and play with some speedSign Johnson
For the next 5ish games run with
Pastrnak Zacha poitras
Marchand lindholm kopeke
Johnson Coyle Brazzeau/Jones
Beecher Kastellic Frederic
Poitras needs some high end offensive on his line. Koepke gets rewarded for being their most productive forward. Frederic gets to remember how to play with speed and confidence. Coyle gets a seasoned vet with some offense on his line he doesn't have to think about.
Keep their eggs in different baskets and play to their strengths. Geekie gets a full on reset.

We have a way more skilled 1st line and should just spread the rest of the skill through lines 2 to 4 and play them equally
This is the way IMO.I still don't understand why they don't give Lysell a shot
I look at Calgary who is undefeated on the year and it's crazy. They have Kuzmenko who doesn't play a lick of defense on their first line with Matt Coronato...you know the 2021 1st round pick selected 8 picks before Lysell. He's a right wing...same size, speedy kid.
They are getting scoring all over their lineup and they are trusting their kids like Pospisil and Zary with big roles on their team.
If you can plug him into the 2nd line RW spot, it actually slots players in their right roles so we don't have to rotate lines all year long. I go
Zacha Lindholm Pastrnak
Marchand Coyle Lysell
Frederic Poitras Geekie
Beecher Kastelic Koepke
I rotate Brazeau in when needed to get heavy but otherwise, let's get some skill in this lineup and put our prospects in a position to succeed

Zacha Pastrnak
Lindholm Marchand
Coyle Johnson

And compliment them with the strengths of the remaining forwards
I like Braz a lot and think he has the toolbox and tools to be an okay nhl'er but him not coming to camp faster is a bit concerning on his level of effort but in a massive defense to him no one on the team has looked theirself so it's probably not a fair judgement.I'm still hoping for Brazeau to come around, if given the chance.
Five games seems a little quick to give up on a guy that looked so good last season.

Have to think an opportunity is coming soon if this keeps up.I still don't understand why they don't give Lysell a shot
The absolute horror if Lysell can get 49 points like Spooner did, we can't use that at all right now right?Can't wait for the Ryan Spooner, I mean Fabian Lysell call up.
Here's a prediction for the self serving contractor. He will play 5 games,be zeros across the board, the Lysell fans will find excuses ( the normal coach didn’t like him or not enough ice time or bad linemates) he will then be dealt as an add on at the deadline or before and the Spooner/Khokhlachev/Lysell crew will bemoan his loss.
Lysell is fast, that's it, he is not an NHL player, I would like to see him get a chance so they can just move on from him.
