New lines for practice today. Trouba is out for maintenance again. Micheletti speculated that he is dealing with something, but wasn't going to sit. Maybe with Lindgren back he will come out.

Not sure why Gauthier who is also back is not on a line at the moment. He's more effective than most of the 4th line.

The Kid line, the saving throw for gallant.

Somehow exchanging Kreider for ROR would solve a lot of this team's issues...

How? who is going to the wing in that situation? Zib, chytil, trochek, or ROR?

The lazy answer is chytil but to his credit he has evolved this year as a center and the last thing we need to do is start jerking chytil around now when we have already done that enough with laffy and kakko.

yup, but yet they are always projected as the third best line on this team which is comical...

the vets on this team making 40% of the cap are the shit of the team right now and everyone just keeps targeting the kids here when things are going poorly and then try to use them together to spark life back into this mess of a team. it is ridiculous how they are being manipulated to make up for construction issues and underwhelming play by the big boys...

Trade Kreider to Edmonton for a 1st to use on ROR

Double shift that line at this point. Start PP2 and leave them out there for the whole 2 minutes. Maybe they will be the spark. Something needs to be.
 
When do guys like Gustav Rydahl and Will Cuylle get looks in the bottom 6?

To me part of the problem is that we lack defensive responsibility as a group. Carpenter is a net negative. Reaves isn't providing anything. I'd love to see this for a few games.

Lafreniere Zibanejad Kakko
Panarin Trocheck Goodrow
Kreider Chytil Kravtsov
Vesey Rydahl Blais/Gauthier

Provide some balance to the lineup

He's a good 4th line defensive forward. He's not the problem, his deployment is

Its not that gallant wants to deploy him that much. Its that nobody is stepping up and outworking him.

The players just are not giving their all. There is no fight in this team, which is so odd bc there was a ton of fight last year and its basically the same team.

They look like a group who think they can get back to where they were last year on skill alone.

Well if you want to change the lines, and reunite the kid line, then someone must move into the spots they vacated.

Some people expect the following lines.

Laf-zib-kakko
Pan-tro-krav
Laf-chytil-kakko
Goody with laf and kakko or chytil

And a d lineup of
lindgren-fox
Miller-fox
Just fox
 
Interested to see how the ZibsKreder BFF line works out now without their possession mule.

A lot of one and dones? Do they ignore Vesey?

adding a shot like that on our PP, where you have threats on both sides would change the entire dynamic

too bad we will never see that with Fox, Zibs and Panarin at the top.

And yet they have the 4th best ratio of Shot Attempts to Unblocked Shot Attempts in the league at 5v5.

I stand corrected. It seems like we've given up a few big goals off blocked shots so maybe it just sticks out
