My PP units would be:

Giroux
Couturier
Simmonds
Konecny
Gostisbehere

Voracek
Patrick
JVR
Weal
Provorov

More evenly divided in ice time, but internally competitive. If A unit scores, they get to start the next PP.

Does that mean Couturier doesn't play this year?

On the d-men discussion, I’m not going to argue for Hägg at this point. I’m happy he is being given a chance. He has been very inconsistent so far. He has to earn his spot. But the same should be true of Gudas, who btw I haven’t seen in a preseason game yet. Curious as to how he did on the fitness testing. How has he looked in practice?

Apparently he aced the no idea how to clear my zone resulting directly in goals against vs the penguins in a playoff game drill.

No. I'm not over it!

Weal would work great on the PP...in the AHL.
- Glak18


This kinda where I'm at with Weal.

I appreciate they are giving it a shot with Weal at 3C but I think he actually needs to show something before the end of preseason.

Personally, I'd prefer he not play the preseason acting like he's got the luxury of coasting his way through it like an established NHL vet might do. I'm not saying he's done that (I missed Monday night's game), but I don't want read stories about him shaking off rust or whatever other quotes you might hear for why a player struggles in the preseason.

I think he's perfect for the eye in the sky coaching role.

Who takes the faceoff on Giroux's off wing or when he gets bounced...Simmonds or JvR?

Don't you know that the 3rd member of the Giroux/JvR combo is Aaron Asham?

I think if Simmonds is not going to be on the 1st unit PP then that tilts the scale to they should trade him for me. I think his production will definitely be limited because of it. 20 and 20 would be really strong.
- MJL


I agree with this although it won’t happen during the year. Hextall won’t trade him for futures when the team is in the thick of things
