[Damisoph]

honestly I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this thread

 

[LeafChief]

Thanks Cory

 

[TheScandal89]

I like the idea of moving Kerfoot to Left Wing but I'd try to acquire Granlund to play 3rd line centre instead and keep the Top 6 the same.

Kerfoot - Granlund - Simmonds
Mik - Spezza - Boyd

 

[Subway Schenn]

Good job Cory.

I would really like to move Kerfoot so far left that he wasn’t on our team

 

[The Shadow]

Like Starbucks I really do feel the personal touch you put in. Thank you

 

[Cor]

Cor?

 

[garce]

I was hoping it was Cory and Trevor.

 

[Budz22]

 

[Doublerum1975]

Yeah let's break up the first line thats playing so good together

 

[Marshy]

Great effort Cory.

I'm not sold on Thornton with Simmonds though I think they fit better as complementary players on other lines. Both top 9ers though (until NickRob takes/earns a spot).

 

[Chief Berube]

Great work Cory! I see what you did there

 

[Critical13]

Props to Cory.

 

[The Iceman]

Cory...think about moving Vesey to the taxi squad and maybe Galchenyuk or Boyd in

 

[crump]

The way he is playing, Anderson may usurp Vesey as that 12th guy in a healthy lineup.

I like Joe on the top line, but as the season moves on, he may need reduced minutes on a third line with PP time. As you have here.

I like the lines Cory.

 

[Buds17]

I don't think Thornton will play centre considering his offence can be maximized on the wing. The lesser responsibility on the defensive end is a big factor too. I'd prefer Hyman return to the top six as well. Consider me a happy camper though if he continues to remain up there in TOI while the team wins often.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Coach Cory!!!

 

[ToneDog]

Boyd > Engvall > Vessey

 

[CanadasTeam]

honestly I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this thread

I was thinking this

Btw Cory, you da man.

 

[Not My Tempo]

This thread is amazing

 

[Teeder Keon]

Cory...think about moving Vesey to the taxi squad and maybe Galchenyuk or Boyd in

Or hail a taxi for him to take him to the airport on the first flight out of town .

 

[Pucker77]

I would switch Simmonds with Kerfoot and Boyd with Vesey. Gives the top 2 lines an physical element with Hyman/Simmonds and limits the lack of speed Thornton has by having Kerfoot and Mikheyev zooming around on his wings.

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Nylander-Tavares-Simmonds
Kerfoot-Thornton-Mikheyev
Engvall-Boyd-Spezza

But honestly, I would create a rotation system of Hyman/Thornton and Simmonds/Kerfoot going forward based off of matchups and rest.

 

[TorontoTrades]

When healthy I would want to run with:

Thornton - Matthews - Marner
Simmonds - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Hyman
Boyd - Spezza - Engvall
