I do wonder if they spread out the big 4, similar to what they did last year.

Something like:

Knies-Matthews-Domi
McMann-Tavares-Marner
Pacioretty-Laughton-Nylander
Lorentz-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Did they do that last year? I remember them forcing it with Matthews-Marner in the playoffs. I could be mistaken.

I really hope we don’t run it back with Matthews-Marner in the playoffs. It leaves the other lines weaker and if they shut down Matthews-Marner with their best D there’s a good chance our entire team gets shut down. There’s so many reasons not to do this.

I would spread out the big 3 and have each one run their own line

Knies - Matthews - Domi
Patches - Tavares - Marner
McMann - Laughton - Nylander
Lorentz - Kampf - Jarnkrok

McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Carlo
OEL - Myers

Stolarz/Woll

With “all that talent” I’m rethinking whether being competitive in round 2 is considered a successful year or should it be lowered to being competitive in round 1.
 
Knies-Matthews-Marner
Mcman-Tavares-Nylander
Domi-Laughton-Jarnkrok
Holmberg-Kampf-Lorentz

Rielly-Carlo
McCabe-Tanev
Benoit-OEL
 
As the title says - what are your thoughts?

I'd say:
Knies - Matthews - Marner
Holmberg - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Laughton - Domi
Lorentz - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Pacioretty/Robertson rotating for Holmberg, Reaves if needed.

McCabe - Tanev
OEL - Carlo
Rielly - Myers

Stolarz - Starter


That's a deep lineup
If everyone is healthy I swap Patches for Holmberg and Hakanpaa for Myers. Otherwise good, and if Domi doesnt get his block shaped head of his rear, replace him with Robbie.
 
Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Robertson - Laughton - Domi
Lorentz - Kampf - Jarnkrok

Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Ekman Larsson - Myers

Stolarz - Woll
