[PaPaDee]

How about Winnik?

 

[nhlisajoke]

Maroon-Mcdavid-Nuge
Lucic-Drai-Slepy
Jokinen-Strome-Pulju
Drake-Letestu-Kassian

wow i was just going to post this exactly lol

imagine Jagr in Slepy's spot

 

[LTIR]

This. This i like. Who woukd you like to target for 3c though?

so you like the idea of getting Jokinen but keeping Puljujarvi in the AHL...
This signing today mean Puljujarvi will get every chance to make the big club this year and even if he goes down to the AHL it wouldnt be for more than a dozen games.

Thst would be like a 620 lb line lol, he may not have the wheels but he doesn't need em on that line.

I sincerely hope PJ elevates his game enough to play in the NHL this next season, but I would consider him on the outside looking in at this point. He needs to show he belongs.

Stauffer seemed to linger a little bit on the "acquire a veteran player OR TWO" portion of Chiarelli's quote.

if its the same thing i watched i was under the impression he was talking about two trades...or the groundwork for two trades.....(so no sense that they have to be this offseason) i dont remember him talking much about two free agents and kind of alluded to being content with the current squad.

but there was talk on here that there were two more signings in the works....i think.

I'd assume he's done for now.

Slower, less grittier, older, more expensive ?

And yet 46 points with solid 5 on 5 production and good advanced stats for likely 1 year.

Slow doesn't matter on that line a whole lot.


Minimal downside imo.

I doubt elevating his game above Strome and Kassian would be too difficult for him.
With the makeup of our forwards, Puljujarvi and RNH will get easy minutes this year.
Great for both to put their stamp in this league.

Maroon slow
Lucic slow
Draisaitl not so fast
Jokienen slow
Jagr slow
Strome not so fast apparently

Lucic-Drai-Jagr would be the slowest top 6 line in the NHL.

Better then handing Slepy an over his head role. He should be fine on line 3 and show he can become a 2nd liner before just handing it to him. He needs to produce for a promotion. If he can in short order, great.

I'd rather try to get Nuge's offensive game going, and rely on him less on the PK/D-zone. Especially if we're going to try to dump him after this season, he needs to put up some offensive production.

Maroon - McDavid - Drai/Nuge
Lucic - Drai/Nuge - Strome
Jokinen - XXXX - Kassian
Caggiula - Letestu - Sleppy

I like this lineup way better than any with Strome at 3c. Not sure who we could target for that 3c spot. Love the prospect of Nuge and Drai being interchangeable at RW and 2c.

 

[The Safe Play]

Maroon McDavid Strome
Lucic Draisaitl Slepyshev/Jagr
Jokinen RNH Puljujarvi
Cagguila Letestu Kassian
Khaira

my ideal forward lineup

 

[McDrai]

Maroon-McDavid-RNH
Lucic-Draisaitl-Strome
Jokinen-Hudler-Puljujarvi
Caggiula-Letestu-Kassian
Slepyshev

If Puljujarvi and Slepyshev are relatively close in performance at training camp and preseason then send Puljujarvi down to the AHL

Not likely to be available, but Beagle would be a great add IMO.

Here's what I was talking about with Stauffer:

Go to July 7, 12:00 PM, scroll to 11 minutes and 30 seconds.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

For those building line ups, don't forget about Pakarinen too

Right now as it stands he is my first waiver if we can add Jagr or another forward.

if Slepy is in way over his head then you simple replace him with Puljujarvi or Caggiula.. Even Kassian can do spot duty there. RNH if we are truely desperate.

Slepy doesnt have to be a '2nd liner' to be on the 2nd line. Lucic @ 6M and Drai at 8M should be the drivers and Slepy the complimentary player.

PTO should be the next signing for Chiarelli.. Time to give our homegrown talent a go in these complimentary roles.

Iginla or Doan

Drai's speed is absolutely fine though.

Lucic-Drai-Jagr would be the slowest top 6 line in the NHL.

Once he gets to full speed he is extremely fast. Just takes him longer to get there because of his size.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I would agree with this, but until they do he's going to be the 13th forward.

 

[McDrai]

The "**** it, let's roll 4 lines" lineup:

Maroon-McDavid-Strome (17 minutes)
Lucic-Draisaitl-Slepyshev (15 minutes)
Caggiula-RNH-Jagr (14 minutes)
Jokinen-Letestu-Puljujarvi (14 minutes)

Lucic-Drai-Jagr would be the slowest top 6 line in the NHL.

The OIlers are not a fast team. After the departure of Hall, McDavid is the only really fast player, which skews the perspective a bit.

 

[WaitingForUser]

I think the other veteran is Beauchemin gives us added insurance for Sekera.
