I like Kakko with Laf and Tro a lot. If this means Kakko is getting 12 minutes, not a huge fan.
Trocheck got about 14 min 5on5 up in Ottawa and Kakko got 15, so it will prob be about the same. Lets hope all of the lines are going and they can split the top 3 evenly

Regardless of the line changes I want to see more from Laf.

We need to see more from Laffy, a tick up in all facets
 
Will never forget being at this one, can't believe it's been 10 years. Win pls

Still on of my favorite rangers

So I guess we'll see:

Kreider-Zibanejad-Vesey
Panarin-Chytil-Krav
Lafreniere-Trocheck-Kakko
Blais-Goodrow-Gauthier
If we spread the ice out i like it...if the 3rd line is gonna get leftovers i dont.

The good:
- Panarin and Kravtsov are together
- Kakko and Panarin are no longer together
The bad:
- Kakko and Chytil are not together


I feel like Panarin-Chytil-Kravtsov is going to be a bit of an adventure defensively, particularly if they are out there with Jones and Trouba. They have to keep the puck in the offensive end and they'll be fine.

Might be. The thing I'll say for Panarin is while he may be a tad lazy defensively at times, he also isn't an idiot. He can recognize when he needs to fill gaps and insert himself into the game.

Whether he acts on it is another matter.
 
I'd love to try

Panarin Zibanejad Vesey
Lafreniere Trocheck Kakko
Kreider Chytil Kravtsov
Blais Goodrow Gauthier

The reason I'm intrigued by that 3rd line is the possibility of a good veteran player playing with Laf who plays a similar style to what has made Laf successful his whole career. Hopefully its contagious.
With the exception of Vesey being on line 1 this is the best lineup ive seen this year imo.
 
I hate these lines. Kakko should either play with Chytil or Zib. Not Trocheck. They just don’t fit together. If I were rangers czar for a day:

Panarin-Zib-Gauthier
Laf-Chytil-kakko
Kreider-Trocheck-Krav
Blais-Goodrow-Vesey

I think this would be more balanced. You’d have 3 top lines and a hard working 4th line.

I really think Gauthier could add a jolt to that top line and push opposing defenders deep on rushes and create some open ice for Zib and Panarin to do some magical things together. Vesey is okay but not a top line dude. Yes I really want to see what gauthier can do with talented line mates. He can be a weapon and a nightmare for defenders when paired with two of the league’s best.

The kid line would also be great together again. Chytil makes those other two buzz.

But alas, I’m not the rangers czar.
I’ll take them over any combination where Panarin and Kakko are together. Laf and Trocheck are shooters. Tro has speed that can give Kakko some space and is also willing to go to the net. It has potential.
