Playoff Lineup

[Bryanbryoil]

I want to see a Kane-Frederic-Jones line in the playoffs. Bring the pain!!!

Let the bodies hit the floor!

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Savoie with 3 goals in 2 games since he's returned to Bakersfield. If he keeps it up we could see him again in a scoring role. Ideally Hyman and Arvidsson build off of strong games and keep scoring as well. Other than PKing, Savoie > Brown and Kapanen IMO.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Arvidsson
Podkolzin - Frederic - Perry (rotate Draisaitl/McDavid/RNH every 3rd or 4th shift to spell Perry off and move Frederic to RW when that happens)
Janmark - Henrique - Jones

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Walman
Kulak - Emberson/Klingberg depending on opponent but I lean to Klingberg

Good Skinner
If Bad Skinner shows up then Pickard

Black Aces;
Brown, JSkinner, Kapanen, Ryan, Philp, Savoie, Stetcher, Dineen, Dermott

I agree but the Janmark-Rico-Brown trio has to be better. Also not convinced Podz-Arvi are the answer with Drai. Playing Frederic in top six could work and convince him to resign.

Last playoffs,Perry and Kane played together. Who was the center? At this point, we don’t know what we’ve got in Evander so expect him to be 4th line energy.

 

[Vagabond]

I don't care as long as I see a line consisting of this for at least one game!!

Kane Frederic Jones

Yeah I’m keen to see him have a few looks with Drai. Arvi and Podz are offensive black holes with him and it sucks to have him stapled to two at once. Of course you could try the third best scorer on the team with him … but Knoblauch.

Guessing the coaches go with:

Frederic - McDavid - Hyman
Podkolzin - Draisaitl - Arviddson
Kane - RNH - Perry
Janmark - Henrique - Brown

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Walman
Kulak - Klingberg

I don’t think they will have a choice but to play Henrique as a 4C. I think they will try Janmark-Henrique-Brown even though it hasn’t worked this year.

RNH or Frederic will have to be the 3C.

Kane is the Wildcard. Could easily push Podkolzin down. I don’t have much for expectations for him though. Unless he looks really good right off the hop I see him more on third line.

Emberson might play over Klingberg. I am guessing Klingberg is going to get a run of games down the stretch once hes healthy.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

All I know from 2 games is that Max jones has earned a spot above Podkolzin, janmark, and brown as wingers and plays well with Perry

 

[La Bamba]

I don't care as long as I see a line consisting of this for at least one game!!

Kane Frederic Jones

That would be an incredibly annoying 4th line to play against in the playoffs. They would wear down a ton of D pairs

 

[Sethual]

Just healthy scratch Nurse if he sucks out the gate. Find a way to burn that contract. That is all.

 

[Mr Positive]

We should probably assume Kane isn't on the roster unless he comes in and proves otherwise

The team tried to trade him, and one media guy said we may buy him out. We might have got Jones and Frederic as Kane replacements

They’d probably get called for every little thing and be labeled undisciplined lol

Yeah I’m 50/50 if he ever plays another game as an Oiler but man what a great bonus if he’s ready for 4th line duty for game one of round one and line 2 by the conference final ?

let’s hope he proves them wrong. At this point , anything we ever get out of him is a freebie.
