I'm mainly just bugging Booner because he's adamant in his lineup choices and doesn't think there's a way JTM will be centering a line.
And I don't think so, but I don't know for sure. It would be a very long way for him to go to have an affair... but I can't count it out - NewYorkNuck
Garland won’t be on the 3rd line, Hoglander might. Pearson is playing w Bo because he won’t want to be saddled with double smurfs. If Miller is on the lotto line, Garland plays w Bo and Hog is on the 3rd line. If Miller is the 3rd line center, Garland is on the top line. Miller will be the one getting (frank)ed If he is playing 3C

Ya there are a lot of options. We'll see how it shakes down over the next week and a bit
I just made a post where I talked about JTM centering a line. You really are not very honest are you?
- boonerbuck
You made a post about him potentially centering the top line with the same top 6.. so assuming that'd just be him centering Petey and Boes? I'm talking about having him, Petey, and Bo being the top 3 centers. Big difference there, which you don't think will happen:
I really don't think they brought in Dikcinson to be a 4rth liner. I really don't think Miller as a 3rd liner is very smart either. - boonerbuck
I'm pretty confident the top line is set with Miller, Petey and Boeser... - boonerbuck
So ya, I'm being honest in that JTM might be centering a line that isn't a line with Petey and Boes and you don't think that's going to happen.
Small sample size, much like Juolevi having an “all-world” U20 World Juniors. - LeftCoaster
Also, I’m not sure “dominating” is the right term for what Podkolzin did in the K. He was good, but opposition coaches weren’t exactly game planning a way to shut him down.

People get to caught up in line numbers. If they play Miller at C then clearly the top 9 will all get pretty significant minutes and leave the 4th line with the scraps which is pretty common these days.
Linemates and roles are more important than listing Miller or Horvat as “2C”
What we know is that Horvat likes Pearson, Green likes using Bo against top lines and Richardinson was brought in for his defensive ability

Just say it... you are talking about Miller centering the 3rd line. Stop dancing round.
I just acknowledged a few posts ago that Miller might be centering the lotto line full time...
Top 6 will be the same with the exception of Miller possibly being the full time center on the top line.
Here's what you said....
