Line Combos: HABS 2024 LINE UP

[Captain97]

ah 8-12 . The sweet spot of mediocrity. Hello darkness my old friend.

This is such a dumb argument, you rarely go straight from top 5 to contention. There are transition years FFS

 

[26Mats]

PP1
Dach
Caufield - Newhook - Suzuki
Matheson

PP2
Gallagher
Anderson - Dvorak - Slaf
Barron

I would keep RHP in the bumper on the first unit.

Monahan gets on one of the units. Either Dach or Monahan leads the 2nd unit, along with Newhook. Ylonen should give Anderson and Gally a run for their money on pp2.

Until Dvorak/Hoffman/Armia are traded, I think you are looking at this:

CC - Suzuki - Dach
Newhook - Monahan - Anderson
Slav - Dvorak - Gally
Hoffman - Evan - Armia

yes and by not going for some home runs in the bottom five years, the team is set up for a long transition period. We will be finishing 8-12 for the next 5-6 years playing it safe.

Tbh I forgot to include monohan some how, I'd drop Gally for him

I don't see how they can keep RHP out of the lineup if he keeps playing like he did.

I also want Ylonen in the lineup. Hoffman and Armia out.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

I don't see Montembeault repeating what he did last year and he's the only reason we didn't finish dead last. We'll finish bottom 5 easy.

Our team is still made of glass. I expect another season of injuries and concussions.

 

[Naslundforever]

Too many useless vet bodies still for sure

hoping for Eddy, Armia Hoff and Dvo gone soon (a whole vet line lol) but once they are

RHP Suzuki Caufield
Newhook Dach Anderson
Slaf Money Heinemann/Gallagher cause he gotta play
Pezz Evans Heinemann/Gallagher cause he gotta play

Ylonen, etc.

I’d watch.

D Until Hutson and Reinbacher form hab 2nd pairing for the next decade

Guhle Savard
Harris Matheson
Xhekaj Kovacevic Barron

I’m forgetting players for sure…
Is certainly meh on D. It‘ll gets fun once Mailloux, Hutson, Reinbacher join, then I see habs being a trade or ufa signing away from playoffs.

I’ll keep my fun to player progression and hopefully a fast, tpugh exciting brand of hockey.

Barron?

 

[Naslundforever]

Barron?

Shite thanks, D looking better, Kovy just got the boot lol

 

[26Mats]

Shite thanks, D looking better, Kovy just got the boot lol

I hope MSL and HuGo don't play the useless vets over the young guys like Slaf, RHP, and Ylonen. What did we gain by playing Drouin?

Also Heineman if he sticks with the big club.

The guy is progressing and he is getting better.

You cannot forecast injuries.

They will have no choice with Hoffman, Armia, Gally still around

In the stands or Laval is a choice in my books, the only choice.

Gally can play 4th line since we're stuck with him for 4 years. No room for Armia and Hoffman though.

 

[Rob Sense]

Dach - Suzuki - Caufield
Slaf - Newhook - Anderson
RHP - Monahan - Gally
Pezzetta - Evans - Heinemen

I think **hope** Armia and Dvorak are gone.

Guhle - Savard
Matheson - Eddie
Xhekaj - Barron
Kovacevic

I am down for trading Harris

Monty
Allen

where did you bury Hoffman?

yes and by not going for some home runs in the bottom five years, the team is set up for a long transition period. We will be finishing 8-12 for the next 5-6 years playing it safe.

book it!

 

[Kosseca]

I also want Ylonen in the lineup. Hoffman and Armia out.

until Hoffman, Dvorak and Armia are gone, RHP goes to Laval and the other most likely rotate in and out.

I 100% agree with you that they should play ahead of Dvorak, Hoffman and Armia, but I dont see the team putting these 3 guys in the press box.

I hear you.

I think we just need to put Armia and Hoffman in the stands/Laval:

Caufield-Suzuki-Dvo/Monahan
Newhook-Dach-Anderson
Slaf-Monahan/Dvo-RHP
Gally-Evans-Ylonen
Pez, Hoffman, Armia

Guhle Savard
Matheson Barron
Xhekaj Harris
Eddy, koby

Montembault
Allen
Primeau

I mean, statistically playing, it's safe to assume Gallagher, Anderson, Dach, Monahan and Evans are not going to play 82 games. Can add Savard, Edmundson and Allen to the list.

 

[waitin425]

book it!

Hell

 

[habsterr]

Newhook - Suzuki - Caufield: Put the most skilled players together.
Slafkovsky - Dach- Monahan: Money hands has two kids to teach, so much size.
Anderson - Dvorak - Gallagher: Expensive grind line.
RHP - Evans - Ylonen: hungry youngsters
Pezzetta


Waivers: Armia, Hoffman: Let them rot in the AHL until injuries happen.

For Monahan I'm assuming a lot, that he has a healthy year and re-signs. The number next to the style breakdown of each player is kind of a video game rating projected two seasons from now. Being conservative with it, hopefully we see higher ratings for some players. This is just a style chart, it doesn't necessarily account for quality. You have guys who prefer shooting, but some do it better than others. Open to any comments so I can revise things if needed.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Armia is still the great unknown because of what he is occasionally capable of doing. Imagine he does it for 70 games?

 

[tinyzombies]

For next season:
Caufield-Suzuki-Dach
Slaf-Monahan-Anderson
RHP - Newhook - Gallagher
Beck/Evans-Armia
Pez

Guhle Savard
Matheson Barron
Harris Kovy
Wideman

Xhekaj - Laval to get reps?

Montembault
Allen

I think Edmundson will be gone, maybe to Edm as the rumors say. Dvo very well could be gone tomorrow also before his NMC kicks in.

For the season after:

 

[Habricot]

Same thing as many, I would hope that we find a way to get rid of Hoffman and Dvo at the very least. This is what I would like.

Newhook, Suzuki, Anderson
Slafkowski, Dach, Caufiled
Heinemen, Monahan, Gallagher
RHP, Belzile, Evans

Slafkowski, Dach, Caufiled
Heinemen, Monahan, Gallagher
RHP, Belzile, Evans

Don't you guys see any problem here?

You guys are putting a player on the first line/top line that could barely even make the lineup as a fourth liner in Colorado,

And people wonder why this team stinks?

Newhook is not, and never will be a top 6 player
