Yes. Im sure for a 4C it wouldnt exactly take a lot but hey, every asset saved is worth it!

Fasching?

No clue what lines could be but will depend on Grigorenko, Reinhart, and more youth's progress. Looking forward to see who stays up next year and who doesn't make it right off the bat

Where are you planning on slotting Grigorenko and Reinhart into your top 9 when you get McEichel? No, really. I want to know. You already have McEichel as you're #1. Ennis is your likely #2. Girgensons is a proven #3.

The only scenario is if you get Reinhart to push Ennis to LW, which leaves Moulson out of a top 6 spot becuase Kane will be a top 6 LW no question.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Ennis is a winger now. He has been since the half of the season and he will be for the rest of his time here. End of story.

It depends who are new coach is but I'd be shocked if either Reinhart or McEichel starts the 1st game on the first line. McDavid has a chance but it all depends on coaching philosophy. I do think by mid season the lines will be something like
Ennis McEichel Kane
Moulson Reinhart ? Grigerenko? Larson? FA?
Foligino Girgensons Gionta
Deslauries McCormick ?

I think he would be better then 4C but I guess that depends on his development path. Is 4C NHL better then 2C AHL? I guess that could be debated either way really.

Too soon ?

Well nice debating with you gentlemen but I am out for the night! 6 days till Lottery!!!

100% should be targeted as a top 9 RW. (frank)ing Gionta? Tell me Briere wouldn't be

1.) A better Captain
2.) More productive
3.) A better leader
4.) A fan favorite.

Sekera maybe?

He wouldn't be more productive

Man.. Reading reactions from both head coach firings makes me want to punch things.

I don't understand most people's thought process. Am I crazy?

Id be cool with bringing sekera back

Throwing this in before the night ends:
Kane-McEichel-Ennis
Moulson-Reinhart-Girgensons
Foligno-Grigorenko-Gionta
Larsson-McCormick-Desalauries

If we get another RW put Girgensons with Grigorenko and Foligno can go to the 4th. I liked Gionta with Grigo, seemed like he started to learn from him and if that's his role then fine. We have him for 2 more years so hopefully we can get something out of him.

Can also switch Larsson and Foligno since I'm not a big fan of Foligno's game.

Girgensons and/or Larsson on the 4th line is a huge mistake.

Unless Reinhart is in the AHL, there is no room for him in the top 6 until Moulson and Gionta are gone.

Assuming NO moves are made other then drafting Eichel this is how I would like it to look

Kane - Eichel - Ennis
Moulson - Reinhart - Grigorenko
Foligno - Girgensons - Gionta
Delauries - Larrson - Varone

Risto - Bogo
Zads - Gorges
Pysyk - McCabe
Weber

Lindback
Johnson

Switch Varone with anyone else really, not concrete there just plugging by that point.
- Orphen22

Ppl will laugh at this... But I have a feeling that u see Hodgson as the RW on the top line
Not BC he's better than Ennis, but if he's on the 2nd line it just too slow
They need to find a balance
A good coach is gonna put Cody in a position to score, & if he's on the top line like I suggest... 25+ goals
That's my bold prediction for next season
If he's 3rd/4th line, he's lucky to get 15/25/40pts

I didn't say top 6, did I?

They're both perfect 3rd liners, at least in my opinion.

I meant to say top9. Doesn't change anything though.
