Just occurred to me, that Zack might do well with Spezza. fetch loose pucks ,go to the net. Maybe add Engvall as well. Just spitballin'...Keefe has several options. Maybe Micky gets a chance to play with JT/Marner. He wouldn't under that other guy.
Think Keefe prefers Hyman playing RW, therefore can see him dropping to the 4th line behind, Nylander, Marner and Kappy. Of course Babcock would not take him off the first line, but can see Keefe doing this.
Cant see it happening
Can't see Hyman being too happy with being demoted after his dad was fired from the organization
People get way to hung up on lines. As long as players get their needed minutes, it doesnt matter where HF posters have them in their "lineup"
Seems to me it is a bit of premature to break up one of the best lines in the nhl last year without checking out what they have together this year...but call me an old traditionalist
Spezza was relegated to fourth line much of the last two years with Dallas, a team with less firepower than we have. He got some PP time, great. He’s 36 years old.
Im actually surprised that anyone who have often complained of top player ice time would suggest a 36 year old player getting so much ice time just because. Tavares, Marner and Hyman were the highest scoring trio in the nhl last year but I guess thise stats dont matter. Dumb dumb stats I guess
I don’t think that anyone was suggesting top 6. I believe that people were saying that he should stay on the 3rd line once the dust settles. A promotion from his temporary status.
This isn’t taking into account Hyman’s role on the line, level of competition and the fact the he’s come off of a major surgery with no training camp.
I’d like to see him replace Goat on the fourth line, which is why Dubas brought him here in the first place.
I’ll never get tired of your obtuse insistence hockey is a simple theorem.
That line was amazing last year, how anyone still has a Hyman axe to grind escapes me, but this is a strange place at times.Im actually surprised that anyone who have often complained of top player ice time would suggest a 36 year old player getting so much ice time just because.
