i would put tarasenko on the third, fischer on the 4th and berggren on the 2nd, but otherwise i like it
I like the idea to use Kasper as a power forward on top 6. Kane and Raymond on the same line makes a lot of sense.
Almost there.
Second round pick+ Chiarot or something like that. Outside Seider we have pretty good third line defenders, but we use them on the top 4.
Honestly, it's time to mix up the lines by adding a rough and rugged guy to each line. This is the only way I can imagine a defensive structure and culture being implemented. It is something that has been successful with other skilled players in years past. Kunitz with Crosby, aston-reese with crosby, etc type stuff.
Shocker, who would've thought...
I can go with this, maybe switch Tank and Ray. Husso should go to GR, built some confidence after the injuries he's had and that opening game definitely didn't help. D corps sure look interesting but great to see Johansson up there.
C'mon, you know it's not a demotion. He's mixing things up to try to get guys going. It's more likely Raymond is being used to jumpstart the other guys on the 2nd line, to the benefit of the team. Raymond's a big boy, he can handle the switch.
Raymond been getting this treatment under Lalonde consistently. Remember he wasn't a mainstay on PP1 for most of last season. Hilariously bad coaching.
Raymond has always been the first guy to be taken off a line or a pp unit under Lalonde though. He's still on pp1, but we're paying him to be a star and to play...I bet he gets under 16 minutes of ice time tomorrow night. Let's see...
