I’d try bumping Skinner & Reinhart (or at least Skinner) down to play with Mitts before i did something as drastic as u propose
- jdfitz77

I'd counter that by suggesting we fire Elie, Larsson and Girgs toward the Kuiper belt in Elon's Tesla

Huge IF..... Been 30 games, they have shown up once.

It must stink going through life with a glass have empty mentality.

do not break up a line that is clearly working...Skinner and Eichel goes together like peas and carrots.
- hehateme

I hear ya
But we aren’t gonna be able to win against good teams in the playoffs with only 1 line clicking

I’d rather try it now,
then wait till we’re down 3-1 in the 1st round

This team is very good positive energy boys

Sit back and relax and watch a magical season

I agree with you, btw. There are a few passengers that I want gone, that's it. Welcome back

You can see by their heart and dedication in their perseverance that they’ve change their way of style they are learning how to win different ways

As the season goes on they will get more comfortable and find out ways to win the right way instead of fighting back from behind

Playoffs? Were talking Playoffs?

According to a lot of the others we are doomed.......

Yep there are 4 players or so that need to be removed but if they can find their game we might be scary in the playoffs

But I’m excited

Elie hardly plays anyways
Larsson & Girgs have been pretty solid-
in their roles

Bringing up 3 rookie forwards at once isn’t the best idea
Maybe bring up 1, figure out where he fits
Then do it with another at some point if we still can’t get lines 2&3 producing

Larsson got schooled in his role on Saturday. I was told it's ok that he doesn't score because we need him for d zone draws. Getting beat cleanly and having the puck in the back of the net presumably isn't part of that role. Or taking several penalties in one game

Nope it's actually great.... Thanks!

It worked for the leafs
- gerbe75pts

I don’t think the leafs actually played 3 rookies on 1 line.

The closest was nylander with Matthews, and technically it was nylanders 2nd year.

Unless I’m forgetting a different line combo.

I don’t get how people would think that smh

This team is on a rise and will only get better every game

Just saying we should be open to moving Skinner to play with Mitts
There’s a decent chance that Skinner could get Mitts going
And we can be reasonably sure that whoever we put with Jack is gonna produce

What about Sheary or Thompson on Jack’s LW?
I’d even be open to trying Berglund there

I know it’s not ideal with how well Jack & Skinner have been together...
but we’ve gotta figure this out

Larsson had a bad game, no denying that but he's season has been pretty good as a defensive 4th line role player. Would I mind he he was gone, no , but he does have a role, one that he filled pretty damn good during our little 10 game streak.

It's amazing to me that Reinhart makes $2m more than Larsson and gets so much more poop thrown at him on this board than Larsson who is actually useless

He’s been pretty good overall this season,
and u know it

O’Regan isn’t gonna come in here & score on line4 while playing a competent defensive role

who you going to call up and where will you put them in the lineup
- Michael Pachla

Smith, 3rd line, Sobotka to the 4th.

Hope you're not asking me the explain this....

Sitting back on their heels after getting a lead is reminiscent of every team ever......

I’m trying to remember if it was Marner , Matthews, nylander on one line

It's amazing to me that Reinhart makes $2m more than Larsson and gets so much more poop thrown at him on this board than Larsson who is actually useless
- jcragcrumple

But he’s not “useless”
He just doesn’t score
Few 4th liners do
Especially when used so heavily defensively

One was the 2nd overall pick and his job is to impact a game

Just saying

He is useless. And he's on pace to score below the lowest end of the 4th line spectrum.

Every 4th liner is used defensively
Takes penalties
PK is mediocre

I am amazed that anyone defends him

Except they get actually decent O-Zone zone time, and create zero actual scoring opportunities. They can get the puck out of the D-Zone, but can't do anything with it. They should change on the fly as soon as the puck gets into the O-Zone so they can put players on the ice who can actually, you know, score goals.

JFC are your for real with this? Berglund? Sure lets put Jake between Beglund and Thompson, Championship here we come... WTF.....
