Filppula centering the 3rd line AGAIN? I thought they would go with Pageau.

I thought I misread it. What do you base these projected lines on?

Not much of a shake up on the lines. No Barzal to the wing

I’m hoping Trotz gives Johnston a real chance to show case his hidden talents. Maybe he can center the first line and move Barzal to the wing? #setjohnstonfree#

As if it's been decided.

The Islanders offense was pathetic over the last dozen games. IMO, changes are needed.

We may get to see Pags and Barz on the ice together on the power play unit (first line plus Pags). Who do you think takes face offs in that scenario? I'm pretty sure it will be Pags.

I think those 2 would show instant chemistry. I hope it happens.

100% because that’s what they have been doing in practice the last 2 weeks as PP1.
JGP def will take FOs as Lee and or Bailey has taken them in the past on the PP if Barzal has been handily beaten by the opposing center. No real news there.

No Bellows on roster. The one guy who might pot a few goals if we are struggling to score left home. I don’t get that one.

Looks like they are 1 under the 31. 17 forwards, 10 d and 3 g. Hopefully they add Bellows. Sorokin doesn't count vs the 31 just the 52 traveling party.

Not sure why they would release their roster and leave an open spot? I realize Sorokin doesn’t count against 31. I take bellows all day over pos Ladd.

I would be surprised if we see a lot of Andrew Badd honestly.

Obviously Trotz and Lou know what they’re doing. I just don’t get not giving a young potential goal scorer the experience of being in the playoff atmosphere.

Is it about giving experience For the future or having the experience to win now?

I guess if he made more of an impact in practice he would have been taken at least. Fact they have another spot and didn’t take him say a lot imho.

or Komarov. I would rather see Pags centering for Bellows than for Komarov. What a waste that is.
