Line Combos: Post-preseason lines, who makes the cut?

[Pompeius Magnus]

This is what I would do:

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Newhook
Kapanen-Dach-Caufield
Heineman-Dvorak-Armia
Gallagher-Evans-Anderson
Pezzetta, Condotta

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Struble-Barron
Xhekaj

Montembeault
Primeau

Roy goes down to ramp his game back up; Xhekaj, Struble and Barron do a rotation. Primeau only makes it over Dobes due to waivers and slow cooking Dobes as a goalie.

There might be some heat if they go with Heineman instead of Roy, but going by pure merit that's absolutely the right call. Roy didn't show anything to justify starting the season with the big team right away and Heineman did.

 

[Rapala]

Who remembers when our first line was a revolving door of wingers...
That just might be our second line for 3 months or so.

 

[Kosseca]

This is what I would do:

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Newhook
Kapanen-Dach-Caufield
Heineman-Dvorak-Armia
Gallagher-Evans-Anderson
Pezzetta, Condotta

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Struble-Barron
Xhekaj

Montembeault
Primeau

Roy goes down to ramp his game back up; Xhekaj, Struble and Barron do a rotation. Primeau only makes it over Dobes due to waivers and slow cooking Dobes as a goalie.

I came here to say that this is how the line up should look like. Roy need more time in the AHL. He was invisible. Was he worst then newhook or anderson? not by much, but unlike the other two, you can really help him improve by getting 1st line ice time in the AHL...

MSL wont break the 1st line for the few games, so i think the 2nd line will be
Slaf - suzuki - CC
Armia - dach - newhook
Heineman - Dvo - Kapanen
Gally - Evans - Anderson

I have a legit question guys. do you think Gallagher and Anderson would be the best scorer in the AHL if they would playing there this year? Honest question here

Most likely, if they gave full effort down there. Gallagher I would think would be one of the best players in the AHL and Anderson would be solid too.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Any idea when the cuts will happen?

Good question, before that back to back on Wednesday is precise enough though.

Wednesday vs Toronto
Thursday vs Boston

We'll see if they're ready and if they made the right choices.

Not by a long shot.

Anderson doesn’t even give full efforts in the NHL. I’d be surprised if he even showed up to his AHL assignment.

That's textbook case for contract termination without player approval.I doubt Anderson is going to leave his millions like that.

He didn't f*** up his preseason enough to be waived anyhow. This was the worst preseason I've ever watched in 20+ years of being a Habs fan, but it's not on Anderson or Gallagher. It's all on MSL and the coaching staff we have imho. It will show on Wednesday.
