I think Leipsic would be great on the 3rd. line, away from the best checkers and going up against 2nd./3rd. pairing defenders.
An energy line that can accomplish something.

Why the hell are we playing a defenseman who couldnt cut it with the Oilers?
Percy/Loov are upgrades over this guy.

Yeah but I don't think there has been a coach in existence that doesn't do that.
I really do think he should put the Nylander/Kapanen/Hyman line together.
Both of these D are good fill ins or complimentary players. Expecting them to go against the likes of Stamkos or Jhonson is asking too much

Yeah not sure where the hate is coming from. He's been solid since getting minutes. I like what I see. Ceiling isn't overly high but I think he can be a decent #4-5 while we rebuild.
Marincin has been incredibly frustrating to watch. He's good on the PK because of his reach and strength but his puck skills are not NHL quality at all.

I've been a big proponent of having 3 scoring lines, and a grind line. Love the idea of Leipsic-Kadri-Koma forming a 3rd line that can score and forecheck.
But, who do you suggest?
Leave it to the experts but if we draft top 3, it's going to be a forward, all our best prospects are forwards, all the Stamkos talk, we so need a top defenseman or even 2.

I agree.
Leipsic is a bottom 6/energy line guy. Him, Hyman and Komarov would be a great 3rd line next year.

Analysts and announcers need to stop comparing guys to players like Trottier and older. Happens every game. Like I'm 33 and I've never seen these frigging guys.

Aside from the one play on the 2nd goal, I've thought Marincin has looked good thus far. Seems like I'm the only one lol

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Considering all the kids in the lineup, new faces, and the obvious lack of cohesion, it's been a fairly close game.
Nylander, Kapanen, Hyman, and Soshnikov have not looked out of place.

His game hasn't progressed. He looked too liturgic moving the puck. No sense of urgency.
Loov on the other hand didn't look out of place.

I don't know what you're talking about. Sure he does lose the puck but more often than not it's because the opposition is in the process of getting a high sticking penalty or a trip. Kadri's pretty good at the cycling game and has the ability to hold lines even when he's off balance.
Holland has been the definition of meh. He scores....sometimes. He makes plays....sometimes. He has a great toolset but rarely applies all of it in a consistent manner.
I was about to say the same thing. I am in my 50's and I have seen them play, but those comparisons are hardly catering to the current demograph.
