Neutering two lines instead of trying to spread it out to three is dumb.

I don't think I wanna hear about neutering lines when I watched your idea score 0 goals against Dallas. I think I'd rather just put Rossi where he belongs and let everything else fall where it may.

Somewhere in time
new lines tonight:
boldy-ek-kap
marjo-rossi-hartman
foligno-gaudreau-trenin
lauko-marat-one of the call ups

new PP lines as well with Hartman and Chisholm on PP 1 and Faber and Spurgeon on PP2. I can get behind these lines, let's see how well it works tonight!

I don't understand why Hynes is further changing the PP, when he is already dealing with one of his main players being out(Zucc). Seems ill considered. Just change the one player, and keep the changes to a minimum.

That third line is a mess.

They need to trade for another top 6 forward now instead of at the deadline. Waive Gaudreau and drop Johansson...

Boldy -Eriksson-Ek -Kap
??? - Rossi - Hartman
Lauko - Khus - Foligno
Johansson - Trenin - whoever is available...

Maybe Wallstedt + Heidt for a top 6 forward. Wonder if Elias Pettersson is available? Sign Gus to a eight year contract.

mojo in the top 6 is just billy trying to prove he was right when we know mojo was a big mistake.
at 2 x 2m/yr I wouldn't say "big". I have no problem with him being on the team at that cap hit, just don't see how he is a fixture in the top 6. He is an ok 3rd liner, to me.

The Trenin signing is much more egregious, IMO.

Lauko is so much better. Good trade there.

Duhaime with 7 points on the year already. Had a beautiful assist where he blew around the outside with speed that Trenin can only dream about, outmuscled a dman, then set up Dowd for a chip shot goal. Scored a goal later, with a similar outside move

Duhaime is much faster, physical, can drop the gloves(so guys like Middleton and Bogo don't have to)and can add some offense if given the chance, it appears, unlike Trenin. Add in the fact that he makes half of what Trenin makes. Put this series of moves in the minus column for BG.

I was a big fan of Duhaime. Thought he still had some potential and could be an eventual replacement for someone like Foligno.
