I’d also rather have Hainsey then Dahlin with 1 minute left up a goal on the PK. I guess that settles it

As long as you're not playing the Bruins.

I understand what you were trying to do here.

But I feel like this went too far.

In light of Dubas stating they are likely done. Which lineup is superior?

Hymen - Tavares - Marner
Johnson - Matthews - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Moore - Spezza - Petan
Bracco

Reilly - Barrie
Muzzin - Ceci
Harpur - Dermott
Marincin

Andersen
Sparks
Hutchinson

Hymen - Tavares - Marner
Johnson - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Kadri - Kapanen
Ennis - Gauthier - Brown
Moore

Reilly - Hainsey
Muzzin - Zeitsev
Gardiner - Dermott
Marincin

Andersen
Sparks

Wow, that is one highly skilled but soft lineup. I don’t know how it’ll perform in the playoff series against Boston.

Almost beat them with a broken gardiner and no kadri.

I don’t mind the makeup. It’s also not playoffs yet.

I say it won't be a problem.

Not to mention you would hope that Matthews/marner/nylander/Johnsson and kapanen take steps forward too.

Why do you ask?

Id take both borgman and sandin over marincin ever setting foot in our lineup EVER again

This one easy.

Meh, for fun. Didn't want other about Kawhi getting in and out of vehicles. because I'm trolling and hating on everything Dubas did even though it's obvious we are a WAY better team than on June 30th.

Wow you sure are delicate. How dare anyone disagree with her majesty. Why do you come here? You don't want to discuss things you just want to have a big circle jerk.

I think they're better. You're also not comparing apples to apples (edited). Last year's D at the start of the year was:

Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Ozhiganov - Dermott

to this year's

Rielly - Barrie
Muzzin - Ceci
?? - Dermott

I think Harpur is possibly an AHL guy. You'll have a battle in there between Sandin, Liljegren, Borgman, Harpur, Gravel . . . none of them are deal breakers obviously, but Sandin & Liljegren have potential to be more. As an RHD, Liljegren might have an inside track.

This year's D you get more offense generated from the back-end, but you are also a higher risk team. Barrie adds more offense than Gardiner, and his defense is really not that much worse. As with any stats, you can cherry pick ratings; I also saw the sportsnet article you like to cite. They're both giveaway machines, but Gardiner was worse. Is Ceci worse than Zaitsev? I don't know. At what level of suck do you have to argue who is worse? I like Muzzin more than Hainsey. And ?? is probably not going to be any worse than Ozhiganov.


For the forwards, I don't think Mikheyev gets pencilled in. You have competition on the 3rd line LW, and 4th line wings between Moore, Petan, Shore, Agostino, along with Mikeyev, Korshkov, Marchment, Bracco and an unlikely Engvall.

But you're replacing Marleau's indifference with some energy and hopefully skill. Maybe Bracco makes the third line. I know that Kerfoot is more of a passer, though, so having a shooter on the left side would help.

The fourth line is really up in the air. I liked Ennis, but Moore will be a great fit, and Spezza will be superior to the goat, I'd imagine. I don't know anything about Shore or Agostino, but if the make or break for our team comes down to the 4th line RW, we've all been horribly wrong about everything.

Someone mention a circle jerk?

Especially if Sandin or Liljegren are ready for bottom pair duty cone playoff time

Great post.

Someone mention a circle jerk?
- BetterCallSaul

well there was a cirlce jerk going on before on how Calle Rosen was going to have a breakout year - but now that Dubas gave him up, nobody mentions him anymore.

(Rosen isn't good by the way)

Mikheyev and Shore will be on the team for sure.

Breakout year? Most just said he’d be better than Oz and Marincin. A cheap 6/7 guy.

Certainly the lower end guys will see movement, and it's good that they have created a situation with competition. One of the flaws of past regimes is the prospect pool knew they were never going to be called up, whereas now there is incentive.

Mikheyev and Shore will be on the team for sure.
Shore will be our main penalty killing C.
- MaximusAurelius

I could see that. Kerfoot on the wing.
