Potential NEW Leafs Line up:

[therealkoho]

I think for now you'll see:

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tavares - ROR - Nylander
Engvall - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Kerfoot - Acciari - Lafferty

Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Liljegren
Gio - Holl

Hopefully, we can send out Kerfoot + Engvall for some picks and flip them for Bertuzzi/Domi, to get some more depth scoring.

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander
Domi - ROR - Jarnkrok
Lafferty - Kampf - Acciari

Obtaining Bertuzzi, starts with a first, which you aren't getting for Kerf nor the Giraffe, and besides while Bertuzzi would be a great get, much rather have G, rather than Max

Source?

He is pacing for 41pts, and 26 of them coming on the PP.

He's also been injured a lot.

Although some GMs pay for last year's version of the player (Jeannot), so maybe this is true.

Spreadsheet guys should stick to their spreadsheets' and not talk about things they have zero clue about .. JT is frightfully slow .. Keefer knows it and has already explained it to JT .. and JT has agreed

Dude not sure if this is all an act or not but jeezuss cripes....

Jeannot still plays like he played last year which where his real value is the puck just isn't going in for him. That said it was a massive overpayment, and maybe paying off a long term debt for something Poile did for the Lightning.

Many will disagree with my proposed lines. I'm in favour of masking our first line. Make the opponent decided when to put out their shutdown line:

[TABLE=collapse]
[TR]
[TD]Michael Bunting[/TD]
[TD]Auston Matthews[/TD]
[TD]Sam Lafferty[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Calle Jarnkrok[/TD]
[TD]John Tavares[/TD]
[TD]Mitch Marner[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Alexander Kerfoot[/TD]
[TD]Ryan O'Reilly[/TD]
[TD]William Nylander[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Pierre Engvall[/TD]
[TD]Noel Acciari[/TD]
[TD]David Kampf[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Matthews can make it work on his own. The Marner, Tavares, Jarnkrok line has looked good, O'Reilly, Kerfoot, Nylander has play-making, scoring and elements of a 200 foot game, 4th line is rockin' with Acciari, Engvall, and Kampf.

I see what you're trying to accomplish and there is a certain elegance in the balance in this, but I can't see them ever taking Mitch away from Matthews, even if a lineup like yours works. Good job very creative.

Okay. I am officially convinced that Holl has something incredibly incriminating on Keefe and possibly Dubas and Shanny to not only continue staying in this lineup but being paired with Rielly on the top unit.

It is absolutely mind boggling how this f***ing guy is still on the team.

 

[TML Dynasty]

I mean.. on line one, we've got a guy who's never played in the NHL... but he's a 1st line player?
Line 2, we've got a guy who has played 8 games, and has no points.
On the fourth line, we have Steeves... a guy who has been objectively poor at the AHL level 5v5 this year, but suddenly he's useful at the NHL level...

I love your optimism, I just don't share it. I have high hopes for Knies, and hope that at some point McMann can turn into a useful bottom six guy, but I think we are counting chickens before the eggs even are laid.

Yeah the lines can definitely be tweaked. More the people/costs options we may have I was trying to show.
I think Holmberg and Knies stick. McMann has gotta get a look next year based on his marlies run. But I get he’s not a sure thing to stick. Steeves was certainly a placeholder. But we can find better spots for them.

Recent cheap contracts from Chicago along with the potential of a home town discount from OReilly have me excited

 

[Fogelhund]

Hold my beer... lineup changes by the day. Stay tuned for tomorrows changes.

 

[diceman934]

Holl is going no where is my guess.
Kerfoot will be dealt as well as a depth forward. For a 2nd and a 4th. Allowing us to put Murray on the roster before the playoffs

Holl can give you quality third pairing and pk minutes if he plays within his abilities. I have no problem with keeping him if they actually coach him to understand he’s not a rover.

I should have said.. by the hour... I mean... just give up on making lines at all...

LMFAO yeah exactly

Everyone who posted here... come back and try again

Yup this thread needs a timeout until the smoke clears

 

[AvroArrow]

Can we just wait until after the deadline to make potential lineups they're changing by the hour

 

[Mitch nylander]

I want to make a lineup now but I'm scared more moves are coming.


Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tavares - ROR - Nylander
Kerfoot - Kampf - Jarnkrok
ZAR - Acciari - Lafferty
Holmberg/Robertson/Mcmann/Simmonds

Rielly - Brodie
Giordano - Liljegren
McCabe - Schenn
Gustafsson - Holl
Benn - Timmins
Mete

Murray
Samsonov

 

[Bellefour20]

This thread should be locked until Dubas puts his phone down.

 

[therealkoho]

I think I need a program, so many new numbers and name plates

 

[Maplebeasts]

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
JT-ROR-Nylander
Knies-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Kerfoot- Cookie- Lafferty

Rielly-Liljegren
Gio-Brodie
McCabe-Holl
Schenn


I expect Dub is adding either another LW or maybe a goalie though.

 

[Mess]

I'm going to need to buy a program for the next Leafs game just to figure out who is who.

LOL

I typed the very same thing the same minute you just did,

 

[sxvnert]

McCabe Brodie
Reilly Schenn
Gio Liljegren
Timmins/Holl

 

[Pebble live]

Bunting-Matthews-Marner
JT-ROR-Nylander
Knies-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Kerfoot- Cookie- Lafferty

Rielly-Liljegren
Gio-Brodie
McCabe-Holl
Schenn

I consider Schenn and upgrade on Holl just because of his physical play.

I suspect more deals are coming tho. We still have Timmins, Gustafsson, Benn, as depth? It's too much when Timmins and Gustafsson can both play in the bottom 3.

I laugh, but I hope the team has enough time to build chemistry before the playoffs.
