Roster Building Thread - Part XII

[Kocur Dill]

How about swapping CK and Bread.

Let Bread and Mika play pond hockey and CK/Tro/Laf play N/S crash and cycle hockey.

Two different looks that cause match up problems for some teams.

Play what works and make ice time adjustments based on opponent reactions.

It’s like Art Laffer writing Nixon an economic theory on a napkin at dinner except we get it from Bern 24/7

thanks except don't compare me to screwball Art Laffer w/his discredited trickle down shit that doesn't work
when I say I may have reinvented the wheel on restructuring the international monetary system
given time I can prove my theory checks out, dots connect etc

and unlike Nixon, I am not a fraudster
or some SOB who wants to use Constitution for toilet paper
burn in hell tricky dick and go eff yourself after you kiss my patriotic USA lovin ass

get to know me peeps
buy some of my IP

We're outscoring the opposition 9-3 so far at 5v5 through two games and already are talking about blowing up all the line combos?

It's been a conversation for awhile tbh.

Two games, great...this has been a multiple season issue with the same players. We've seen streeks before.

The 5v5 argument has merit because that's been an issue so ill give you that there.

Other then that, if clauses prevent trades of players that don't work, then shuffling is the only option, no?

No shuffling should occur after two games regardless of how good or bad the two games were

Doesnt have to be career ending. Say he injuries his hip or knee late season and doesnt come back. It could be career altering but u dont know.

How can u justify that contract for 8 years?

Just saying its not cut and dry.

At this point the best course is to sign laf and let the season play out. No point in bidding against yourself.

Plus if jones, miller and kakko have big years it might change the dynamic.

Alot of factors in play. I would let the year play out if i were drury. Igors price cant go much higher, but things could happen over the course of the year that can make u think “ is igor really worth it?” Is losing players better to keep igor?

They should be in no rush. Especially since igoers list of suitors is probably almost non existent after us.

You let the year play out and all of a sudden he signs with the canadiens, no thanks

Also, not directed at you but I'd hate to mess with the 3rd line but Mika needs to be demoted and Chytil elevated to light some sort of fire under Zibs

Money puck has our third line with a 70% xgf.

It’s also chytil and Kakko mostly, but cuylle does some heavy work on the forecheck.

It works because the line has players in a good role. Kakko can make plays with the puck, Chytil likes to carry the puck, both Kakko and Cuylle can retrieve pucks
