Line Combos: Lines you expect to see vs what you want to see

[Zetterberg4Captain]

You want a properly built team...here ya go

Raymond- Larkin- Kane
Debrincat-Compher- Kasper
Berggren-Rasmussen-Tarasenko
Fisher-Copp-Veleno
Motte

Johansson-Seider
Edvinsson-Matta
Gustafsson-Chariot

Talbot
Lyon

Husso is crap

 

[wingsfannn919191]

With our current roster

Rasmussen larkin raymond
Debrincat compher kane
Tarasenko veleno berggren
Motte copp fischer

Johansson seider
Edvinsson chiarot
Maata gustafsson

If I had it my way ....

Debrincat larkin raymond
Tarasenko kasper kane
Rasmussen veleno berggren
Motte copp Fischer

Trade compher now while hes tradable

Fowler seider
Edvinsson johansson
Chiarot gustafsson

As long as were not moving a 1st for a 33 yr old dman I'd get fowler. Maybe something like a maata + a 2nd and soderblom since he likely wobt have a shot here

 

[Ulysses31]

too ealry to go off deep end IMO. lot of talent on this team IMO, both D (ed n seider) n forwards. few adjustments up front (get tank n kane off same line), ed learning ropes, players learning defensive assignments, think a good season still ahead

 

[FlyguyOX]

Can't fathom paying Seider all this money and still stunting his offense by not putting him on PP1. I think people are forgetting how offensively proficient he was in the SHL.

 

[izlez]

So if Petry misses time, does Holl get back on the lineup or do we put Johansson in on the right side?

And what makes Johansson able to play on his off side aside from the fact that he's done it before?
(Don't bother answering, because I won't believe you. Switching sides isn't a big deal for any NHL player)

Some changes, D Pairs completely changed

[raymond23]

First nhl game of his career on the first pairing, in the second game of the season

Good luck kid. This roster management is baffling and this could quickly turn south. Hoping for the best but my gut tells me otherwise

i would put tarasenko on the third, fischer on the 4th and berggren on the 2nd, but otherwise i like it

 

[minimal]

First/second line badly needs someone who can win board battles and play with intensity (Kasper).

Husso is crap

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.
No matter what you do with defence not going to work. Yzerman needs to get trade for top 4 defender

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Ed with Gustafsson? I don't think that is a solution, but I guess we will see.

 

[jaster]

I've been telling you all AlJo is destined for the top pair with Seider! Now, did I expect it to happen in his first NHL game? No, no I did not. I'ma be straight with ya'll.

Whoa. I was about to say you guys are nuts if you think they're gonna have Johansson go from the AHL to top pair. Guess they're throwing him in the deep end.

Almost there.

Swap Ed and Chia and we're about as good as we can get with these guys.

5 of them...

That's not easy to do without giving up assets that ultimately set the team back.

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.

 

[RedWingzz]

Raymond practiced on the 2nd line today ...I guess the loss yesterday was his fault. We give him over 8 mil per year, and he got 1 game on the top line before Lalonde demoted him lol. Classic.

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...
