What will be your team’s PP units for the season?

[Jamaican Patty]

I’m curious to see the PP units of all the teams in the league.

[Coffees]

Buffalo should be good but I mean I don’t know what to say, and Chainshot you know it’s true

 

[wintersej]

For Boston Marchand, Lindholm and Pasta are set on PP1. The net front person is pretty open at this point with DeBrusk and JVR gone. McAvoy on the point with a chance for Lorhei to steal some of the action.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Loaded question.

Probably this:

1: Fox, Panarin, Kreider, Zibanejad, Trocheck
2: ? (Jones/Miller/Trouba), Lafreniere, Chytil, Smith, Kakko

Most fans want Lafreniere on PP1, and most of those most fans want him to replace Zibanejad. I don’t know how likely that is. Zibanejad is a PP specialist that symbolizes a lot of what’s wrong with the team, but he’s not really had much trouble over the years at scoring on the PP. The PP2 defenseman spot is up for grabs. It 100% should be Jones, but that’s not really Laviolette’s style. I think most likely it’ll rotate between those three until Jones is entrenched as an every game player, which might take half a season.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

My guess is
Tavares-Matthews-Nylander
Rielly-Marner

 

[Canadienna]

A few question marks on the Habs with Dach, Hutson and Laine coming in.

My guess -

Slafkovsky (netfront)
Laine (wall/left point) - Caufield (bumper) - Suzuki(wall)
Matheson (point)

Dach
Newhook - Roy - Gallagher
Hutson

Might be better to separate Caufield/Laine but they both probably deserve PP1 time so I'm not sure how they'll handle that.

 

[Esq]

Assuming we stick with 4 forwards / 1 defenseman

PP1 = Bedard/Hall/Teuvo/Kurashev/Jones
PP2 = Dickinson/Athanasiou/Reichel/Bertuzzi/Korchinski

 

[Canadienna]

My guess is
Tavares-Matthews-Nylander
Rielly-Marner

Curious what the 2nd unit would look like on the Leafs.

I realize the top unit will get 90+ seconds of each PP, but still PP2 can be important.

Sorry, we’re at least a couple more years away from the NHL giving in and taking that OnlyFans money.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Same as always

Zibanejad - Trochek - Kreider
Fox - Panarin

Although it should be
Panarin - Zibanejad - Kreider
Fox - Lafreniere

 

[PuckG]

The exact same as always:

Hyman - McDavid - Draisaitl - Nuge - Bouchard

 

[kcunac]

Prob Hughes, Petey, Miller, Boeser, Debrusk

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Pp1:

--------- Suzuki/Slaf
Laine - Caufield - Suzuki/Slaf
----------- Hutson

Pp2:

-------- Dvorak
Roy - Newhook - Dach
-------- Matheson

 

[Fearnot]

PP1: Zach Benson - Konsta Helenius - Jack Quinn - Jiri Kulich - Rasmus Dahlin
PP2: JJ Peterka - Tage Thompson - Dylan Cozens - Owen Power - Bowen Byram

 

[Magic Mittens]

With Pavelski gone, I'm thinking

PP1 Hintz, Robertson, Benn, Johnston and Heiskanen

PP2 Seguin, Duchene, Marchment, Stankoven and Harley

 

[majormajor]

This is how you write PP lines:

---- x
x -- x -- x
---- x

Some folks are still writing it like there's two pointmen on your PP unit. There's only one.

 

[BonMorrison]

I’m guessing Forsberg, Stamkos, Marchessault, and Josi will be on PP1. Not sure if ROR or Nyquist for the last spot.

Second unit the other guy above plus Novak, Evangelista, Sissons, and Skjei.

 

[Coffees]

Trade zibby once Laf has showed enough

Holy shit you guys are stacked

You as a neutral, would you consider trading for that contract if you ran an NHL team?

Go look at his stats (consider his drastic ES/PP splits) and the structure of that contract before you answer and then tell me if you think he’s a player that has positive value.

I think most Rangers fans would dump him today if it was that easy.

I thought the same thing but I was talking to Bern and then I assumed my valuation was off

 

[LemonSauceD]

Boeser
Debrusk Pettersson
Miller
Hughes

 

[Fantomas]

[ Looks at the worst PP2 in the history of humankind ] "Holy shit, you guys are stacked"

 

[Coffees]

[ Looks at the worst PP2 in the history of humankind ] "Holy shit, you guys are stacked"

That first unit power play will be the most effective in the NHL behind Edmonton and Vancouver

Also I didn’t say like that

Boeser
Debrusk Pettersson
Miller
Hughes

Remember they were trying Pettersson in front of the net lol

 

[MessierII]

The exact same as always:

Hyman - McDavid - Draisaitl - Nuge - Bouchard

Second unit could be interesting this year.

When everyone’s healthy could see some combo of

Skinner, Arvidsson, Kane, Henrique, Ekholm or Nurse. There’s definitely options and they could see more time than previous years.
