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

[wingsfannn919191]

If Rasmussen play well with Larkin and Raymond, we should keep him.

At this point I'm not counting on any miracles lol ... unless nygard kasper danielson bust and no one emerges from Lombardi buchelnikov etc.... rasmussen and copp are destined to be 4th liners on this team

I'd have no problems dealing ras at any time he'll never be a consist 50-65 pt guy

But you put Ras with Larkin and Raymond, not on the fourth line

 

[Gniwder]

I mean it sounds like Copp is one of the sick players. And playing 3C is a big enough role to call up Kasper instead of Watson. Put together Burgers - Kasper - Tarasenko for line 3

Watson is playing because both Copp and Motte are out. Not sure what's going on with Fish.

It's supposed to be Ras-Kasper-Burger which basically emulates the GR line with Ras instead of Mazur, playing basically the same role so I think that might work.... but I certainly wouldn't object to seeing someone that can finish instead like Tank. It already looks like Kane and Tank need to be separated, but hard to tell because Compher can't generate offense. He's a passenger, not a driver.

For the next one
DeBrincat - Larkin - Tarasenko
Raymond - Compher - Kane
Rasmussen - Kasper - Berggren
Veleno - Copp - Fischer

Edvinsson - Seider
Chiarot - Petry
Johansson - Holl

PP1
---------Compher---------
Raymond---Larkin---Kane
---DeBrincat----Seider----

PP2
----------Rasmussen-----------
Berggren---Kasper---Tarasenko
------------Edvinsson-----------

 

[Gniwder]

DeBrincat - Larkin - Raymond
Rasmussen - Compher - Kane
Berggren - Kasper - Tarasenko
Veleno - Copp - Fischer

Edvinsson - Seider
Chiarot - Petry
Johansson - Holl

Kasper/Burger need a winger that can finish. Raz is not the guy. Tank gets easier matchups.

I'm pretty hopeful for this Edvinsson-Seider pairing. Right now, it's only okay. They're pretty chaotic together, I've seen them bump into each other 3 or 4 times, they have trouble with their breakouts and assignments.

But when it works, it WORKS. The breakouts they succeed on are super fast and direct. The front of the net has never been clearer. A forward can barrel at the net full speed and they end up just bouncing off the immovable wall out front. When they pinch up it's a thing of beauty.

And I'm pretty hopeful that as Edvinsson outgrows his rookie phase and they learn each other that they can mitigate the sloppy mistakes while playing up their strengths. It's an exciting prospect.
