The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

Why are we breaking up Tage Benny and Tuch?

In the last game they put up one of the most impressive stat lines I've ever seen:

The message should be simple - keep doing what you're doing, but hit the f***in net with your shots next game.

Juggle ice time and line mates for the other three lines all day, but that first line was fine.

 

[Djp]

It's not as hard as it sounds. Fitzgerald added Meier and Marino, then traded Marino. That's just one example. And as far as I remember, there was no trade protection.

Meier had no trade protections and was 1+ yrs from UFA

Marino likely understood that he may get traded once their prospects were ready. He was fine, just give me term/ $$$

 

[toddkaz]

I missed it last season too

You can always watch replays.he had 92 goals his last 3 years here.

He was 3rd on the team last year. Seems bizarre you missed them.

I don't care about what he did over a 3 year period. I care about what he can do now. He's declined. The team sucked last year. Nobody could score. That included him.

Nobody seems to be able to score this year either.

 

[Matt Ress]

Doubt they will experiment with cozens on wing but those lines are closer to what I'd like to try

Benson - Thompson - Greenway
Jjp - cozens - Quinn
Zucker - mcloud - tuch
Beck - laff- kulich

Line one - reward a player that's arguably the best forward through three games in greenway

Line two - see if their chemistry is still there if not that's when you start experimenting

Line three - get tuch two guys who play a simple game with some speed and get him back going

Line four - put kulich here over Krebs as he could replace a forward easier in the top 9 if you wanted to bench someone mid game (looking at you Quinn)

Probably time to split up Thompson and Tuch

That’s actually impressive. But missing the net seems to be a thing this team does.

 

[Matt Ress]

I know it's doom and gloom right now but they've had so many chances and just gripping the stick too tight

 

[toddkaz]

I don't care about what he did over a 3 year period. I care about what he can do now. He's declined. The team sucked last year. Nobody could score. That included him.

You were the one who said he missed his goals from last year and now you say you don't care about last year

Bizarre rant

He was noting that Skinner dropped off last year while only scoring 24 with every imaginable opportunity, but you knew that.

For his standard as a first overall d-man, not good enough. I want more out of him. I want more out of our entire blue line.


I'll bite.

Peterka-Thompson-Cozens
Greenway-Kulich-Tuch
Benson-McLeod-Quinn
Malenstyn/Zucker-Krebs-Lafferty

First, move Cozens to Tage's wing. Gotta get both of them going and finding the net. Peterka might be our best sniper right now. Get the three together and get a spark.

Tell Greenway and Tuch to start banging some bodies and giving Kulich the puck more. Go to the net, get some greasy goals.

Get Benson & Quinn moving their feet with some speed and set up with easier minutes. And I know McLeod is capable of thinking the game better than he has. Put his speed with two high IQ players and tell him to go to the net (since Quinn is allergic to it lately).

Piss in Krebs Corn Flakes, shit in Lafferty's, tell Zucker you'll keep him here past the TDL unless he starts to show up.

Dahlin-Samuelsson - I believe we get the best version of each in this pairing.
Power-Jokiharju - Challenge em both.
Byram-Clifton - power & finesse.

Tell Adams to start shopping for goals. Or launch him into the sun. Then hire his replacement, and tell his replacement (someone with NHL front office pedigree) to start shopping for goals while assessing what we have for next off-season.

That's the point though, only the guys in the locker room can do it. Trade market is barren. Only thing Ruff can do is take ice time. Imo Quinn isn't seeing the ice against Florida. Bring up a guy like Dunne for a game or two.
