Let's begin the hockey discussion!

Would you sign Jordan Eberle for a 5 years, 25M contract on july 1st?
- Scabeh

I would... I'd prefer 4 years but yea

Just realized I forgot Byron in the lineup.

Woops.

And placed Drouin on the 3rd

He's also a RW, which I believe is our weakest position at forward.

Lineup WITH Eberle could look like this:

Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Domi-KK-Eberle
Drouin-Poehling-Shaw
Lehkonen-Thompson-Armia
Weal

It's not a bad looking lineup.

Of course there's risk involved with his bad season last year but.... it could also turn into quite the reward if he goes back to his "normal" production.
- Scabeh

Any lineup that has Danault on the 1st line is not a good one

And placed Drouin on the 3rd
- WaterBoy

Drouin Domi Eberle
Tatar Kotkaniemi Gallagher
Poehling Danault Shaw
Byron Weal Armia

Lehkonen traded

- obie

Well that line has been our best one last season no?

- WaterBoy

I just don't see Claude breaking up the Danault line to begin the year.

And if Poehling plays a top 3 centre role on the team, you move Domi on the LW.... most likely ahead of Drouin to begin with.....

Who knows.

- Scabeh

And they finished out of the playoffs

Danault failed to record a goal in 74 games this season, good thing Gallagher and Tatar were filing the net to pump up his assist total!

easy fix


Domi-KK-Eberle
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Poehling-Shaw
Lehkonen-Thompson-Armia
Weal/Lehkonen

expect Poehling and Suzuki to start the season in Laval

easy fix


Domi-KK-Eberle
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Poehling-Shaw
Lehkonen-Thompson-Armia
Weal/Lehkonen
- Symba.007

Lehkonen plays the 4th line and is a scratch?

Weal in before Thompson

I'm not gonna argue that Danault shouldn't be a team's best centre.

But I think you're not giving the guy enough credit.

12 goals 53 points with absolutely no powerplay time is nothing to sneeze at.

We'll know during camp.

If they're better than the guys we currently have, they'll play in the NHL.

Just like KK last year.

He's not even a top 6 C

no love for Byron?

And Lehkonen is the one you would clone?

it was either him or Dolly

no love for Byron?
- fidopro

Yeah, forgot about him. He's obviously in there ahead of Lehkonen.

no love for Byron?
- fidopro

he's the new goon, he will play once in a while when the opponent dress their goon

I don't see them putting Domi back on the wing after last season. Doesn't make sense to me.

Also, I'm not sold on Eberle. Can he bounces back? Maybe, but it would be 5 long years if he doesn't.

Weal in before Thompson

Very versatile.

Average-sized puck-moving defender with upside to be a number four defenseman. Loves to join the rush and play the cycle game in the offensive zone. Smooth skater. Needs to improve his defensive game. The sound of his strides is amazing.

That last sentence makes it all sound so good.
