I think the idea is you roll three lines until it doesn't work, then you load up.

People get hung up on the "lines" but you can sub in a guy situationally, for example if their 4th line ices it after a long shift, throw out Tkachuk-Stu-Giroux, or going into the third if your having trouble creating offense, load up a top 6 and shorten the bench.

Personally, I like to have flexibility in our lines, and I like being able roll out wave after wave, especially if we don't have a true shutdown line.
I agree but rolling 4 lines requires having four lines that can compete with other teams top 3 or 4 lines. I don't think our 4th line is going to get such use next season because it is not good enough.

I'm sure the first person they told about the trade, even before it was made official with the league office, was the part time algonquin college computer programing student on a co-op placement who updates the website...
Yeah, either it’s the best protected secret the NHL has seen in the social media and insider age, or it’s a mistake.

Wow, 4 RTs for that SensTalk Twitter post. Guys, what's Eklund saying about this? Can someone get a hold of Ja and ask him to make sense of all this?

Fwiw this happened earlier in the week with Gambrell to the Leafs and ended up being true. Still incredibly unlikely though.

He’s no backdoorpass/Justin Murray, that’s for sure

A tweener signed late at night and an announcement made the next day (after multiple comments from insiders)
vs
The person who runs the Sens website knowing about a Debrincat+ Branny trade hours before anyone else

Kelly kastelic macewan is the opposite of flexibility in our lines and being able to roll out wave after wave.

Depends. Do you want him? Is he someone who you would like back in a trade? Because if so then close to 0. I’m also not sure what we would do with soderblom?
I'm only rooting for it to happen based off wanting to see aragorns reaction. Kids got some pretty silky mitts too though.

I think @aragorn is the only person who would probably like the idea of a Kelly-Kastelic-MacEwan line.

Love how someone here notices the absence of the players, posts it, someone tweets that info and now we are referring to the tweet like it's new info lol
I have the impression all of the non-insiders that post things on Twitter are regulars on this website, and get their information from here
