Peeps, I like that idea a fair bit.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I am in favor of anything that gets Bennett away from Brouwer. The guy tries to take every legitimate play and turn it into a cycle when a cycle isn't there. You know it's bad when I miss Joe "cycle right into the other team's stick" Colborne.

Anyways the lines I would like to see would be

Gaudreau-Jankowski-Monahan
Tkachuk-Bennett-Frolik
Ferland-Backlund-Brouwer
Versteeg/Bouma-Stajan/Vey-Hathaway/Hamilton

Never On the Ice Ever:

Alex Chiasson

I've been suggesting grooming Bennett as the top line RW since he was drafted and was always met with comments about how Bennett would be a #1. What has changed?

 

[JPeeper]

If we roll with that configuration:

Ferland - Stajan - Brouwer

Isn't a bad checking line.

True, but it won't score many goals. And our 4th line may only pot 5 all year.

Jankowski on the top line would be a fantastic way of stunting his development.

I've thought since last year Bennett is a better winger than he is centre. I've also never really thought Bennett would pass Monahan as the #1.

 

[Lunatik]

I have no idea what just happened there

 

[InfinityIggy]

True, maybe if Janko looks ready you can use him there instead of Stajan.

 

[Mobiandi]

I saw that in the net

 

[JurassicTunga]

Good guy Kane.

 

[Lunatik]

Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Janko - Brouwer
Stajan - Ferland - Chiasson

Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Janko - Brouwer
Stajan - Ferland - Chiasson

Replace Chiasson w/ Hathaway and I like it. Also Ferland at C?

 

[Lunatik]

Brouwer cycled that off the post

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Yass!

 

[Mobiandi]

I had no idea Tootoo was still in the NHL

 

[JPeeper]

Das it mane. Monny and Bennett combing for a goal.


good. good.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Yeah! They did the thing.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Smart play by Monahan

 

[Mobiandi]

Bennett!

not sure how I mixed up Ferland and Stajan but actually by the time Johnny returns it would probably be Bouma - Stajan - Ferland. Unfortunately I don't see Hathaway staying with the team unless there are more injuries, especially with Jankowski up.

 

[Corpus X]

Bennett's moustache ties the game!

Because we have traded Bouma

 

[Mobiandi]

Got to say I'm really warming up to the retros. Wouldn't mind if we made them our homes from now on

 

[Lunatik]

I still think Hamilton and Chiasson would be ahead of Hathaway and if he is an injury recall the Flames would have no choice but send him back.

That's true, although I'd debate he is more effective than both those guys.
